Long-time Jaguar owner here -- started with an XJ40 in 1995 and now have X-type, XK8 and XJ8. Love 'em all!

I've already learned a lot from this forum and no doubt will continue to do so.

Welcome to the forum John,

Good to have you with us.
You must have your hands full with all those cars.

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

 

>You must have your hands full with all those cars.<

They're all a bit elderly and need a fair amount of TLC. The XJ8 is the oldest but never misses a beat. The X-type is mostly driven by my wife, who adores it (as do I -- in my opinion they're very underrated cars). The XK8 joined the family a year or so ago. It seems to have had rather a hard life before then and I still haven't quite got all the glitches out of it (intermittent airbag and DSC warnings and a wheel-balance issue that won't go away) but we'll get there ;-)

Not sure whether it's useful to anyone in the UK but I've been entrusting the major maintenance of all three to David Marks Garages in Nottingham for some years now and been thoroughly pleased with his work. He's a dab hand with Waxoyl as well. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.

 

David Marks is one of the top Jaguar experts and also very generous with his time when it comes to answering obscure questions.

Wales to Nottingham is still a long way to travel for a service!

True, but David has proved his worth and knows his stuff. He's going to have his work cut out next month with an airbag 22 fault on the XK8 but don't tell him I said so :-)
