Hello all!

I live in a little town in South West Michigan. I have owned a Jaguar or 2 in the past, but both of them existed well before Al Gore decided to invent the internet. I really wish that I had this forum available as a resource back then, would have saved me a lot of time!

I recently bought a 1996 XJ6 simply because it was being sold for a very nice price. The owner was having financial difficulties and needed cash fast, so he sold it to me for only $2000. It is the base model and has 100k miles; nothing major in terms of problems, just some minor things that need fixing. I came here following a link posted about replacing the power steering lines and figured I would join, as I am certain that I will need additional help down the road

I am not a jaguar mechanic, but I am mechanically inclined and am not scared to approach a project that would seem too daunting to most.

I am looking forward to talking with you all!

 

Hi and welcome aboard.

Most of the usual repairs on your model are DIY-able. You'll do fine :-)

Cheers

I came here to read up on power steering hose replacement (did it yesterday: successfully thanks to this forum post of instructions).

Now my second issue has been resolved in a matter of one day - I have been trying to find an answer for a month!

I will post some pics today - took a few yesterday but have to make them a bit smaller - the originals are like 20mb each.

Thanks again for the welcome and the help so far!
