Default Greetings from Coventry

Hi all - had the XJR for a while but now looking to get all of those odd jobs I have been putting off done, so will hopefully pick up some tips here. Oh and I know the factory is just down the road from me and that they should all be shot for the bits that are hard to fix and annoying - but hey it wouldn't be as much fun if it was easy!

Welcome to the forum lowe69,

Good to have you with us.
You don't give your full car details so I can't point you in the right direction for your tech section. If you need any help let us know.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Welcome to the forum lowe69,

Even more models marketed as XJR as there are different XJ6's!

As Norri says, add vehicle details and we can point you to the right section.

Welcome to this friendly forum.
I was born in Coventry when people were dropping bombs on it.

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

Ian,

That looks perfect.

Could do with a Sig Pic of your XJ8 though to finish it off.

There's another challenge for you.

Hey All! Just came on board a few days ago and I must say you have a fantastic group! Been in love with Jaguars since my dad had a '73 E-Type Coupe.
Been looking around for awhile and have been smitten by the X308 XJR's (2002-2003).
A friend in AZ told me about an XJ Super, I know it has the S/C motor but how about the suspension? VDP luxury or XJR sporty?
Looking forward to a wonderful time amongst fellow Cat fanciers.
