Default Good Day Eh.

And greetings from the land of not-polar bears, maple syrup, oil, and expensive beer aka Calgary.
We recently managed to get my hands on an immaculate 2003 XJ8 as a 'new' family DD, which immediately proceeded to make my 1992 Bonneville SSEi feel like I was driving a underpowered yacht....well even more so than normal. and just for that extra bit of character the MIL light has recently come on due to it running rich in both banks. Ahh this oughta be fun....

Welcome to the forum protean,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

2003 was a model change over year.
For help, advice and information, follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum if you have the earlier steel bodied XJ8 or this one XJ ( X350 & X358 ) XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X350 forum if you have the later aluminium bodied model. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

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.

You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link Canada - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Yes, the Bonneville is the Quintessential Land Yacht!
I've been to Alberta with my family once. Geologically an extension of north central Montana.
