Default First jaguar. 2005 XJ8 vanden plas

Greetings,
I recently acquired a used 2005 XJ8 vanden plas, 74Kmi. Interior and exterior mint condition. It's the most handsome car I've owned. ( 2001BMW 540 V8 stick, and 2000 BMW 740il previously). I purchased the car as a better vehicle for accommodating customers to show homes and entertain. My family has had several jaguars going back to the late 80's for the same purpose, however until this point I've desired a vehicle I felt was more of a "driving" car than a "riding" car. Now, I love this car.
I've often joined forums for feedback on mechanics or general knowledge, ie; motorcycles, boating, fishing etc. and hope I can glean some info to keep this car in great shape.
Thanks in advance, JK

welcome to the forum and the Jag family - plenty of info and support here.

You will find How Tos and plenty of support in the XJ (X350/358) section - XJ ( X350 & X358 ) XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

I moved your post on the air suspension to the XJ area for better response/visibility to those who can assist.

Recommend checking out the Lower Atlantic regional section and add a signature by clicking the user cp link in the upper left.

enjoy

Welcome to the forum Jimkrikit,

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar Forums.

Your X350 does look in great condition and I like the angle you've used for the photo.

Follow Steve's link to the X350 tech section for help, advice and information.


Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
