DaBlackCat in Seattle
Hello,
I own a 98 XJ8 my father gave to me a couple years ago before he passed away last spring. He never really gave it the care it deserves and until now, I haven't had the income to do anything other than basic maintainence.
She's a smooth runner, but is fighting a bad front wheel bearing, steering rack and struts that need to be replaced, heater matrix that needs replacing and is leaking coolant from the top of the plastic thermostat housing.
I'm getting the thermostat taken car of but will post questions on the other problems in the proper areas. For now though, I look forward to learning tips and tricks and TLC techniques to bring DaCat back up to a pristine level.
Cheers,
DBC
