Default First time Jag owner

Owned many cars, first time Jag owner.

1996 XJ6, 124k miles, Kingfisher Blue, sunroof, body and paint in excellent shape, tires almost new, typical wear on the driver seat (wear on the left upper bolster), and have some minor kinks I need to work out.

I've already:
* fixed the left turn signal (bad ground, replaced fuse)
* thought I had the a/c issue fixed with an a/c POST and reset.

I'm very hands on and have electronic versions of electrical diagrams and repair manual, and am ready to get my hands dirty. Next up:
* sunroof pops up in the back, as expected, yet it won't slide back to open
* repair driver seat bolster
* fix crooked upper stop light (rear glass)
* change oil/filter
* check spark plugs
* check brake wear

Thanks!

Welcome aboard :-).

Sounds like you have a handle on things. Give a shout in the "X300" section if you need help.

Cheers
