Ex-Pat in Florida,04 XJ8VDP BRG
Hello all,
It is great to finally join up.
I took the plunge and bought a very nice 04 XJ8 with 68,000 on the clock. I guess like every Jag they all have their quirks. I came across this site and reading posts on here have really helped me sort out some problems I have had. Everything from changing the front two Air struts, The throttle body, Brakes and of course if there is a slight Glitch however small Look at the Earth points and the Battery.... If in doubt Change the battery!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well.
Regards.
Knobby.

Welcome to the forum Knobby,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
It sounds like you've already found the model forum but if not, follow this link XJ XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR ( X350 & X358 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X350 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/usa-lower-atlantic-nc-sc-fl-ga-66/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.

Hello, Knobby,
It's not really surprising that Any car 12 years old would have a few time/use related problems. What you describe seems minor compared to what Could have been. Congratulations on your successful repairs!
