Hello all, I just bought a '00 XJ8

Hello everyone, new to this forum. I just purchased a really nice and clean '00 XJ8 with 86k miles. It seems to run and drive just perfect. No leaks or anything so far (except it chimes once in a while after I take the key out, I think it is a faulty tilt or steering lock). This is the 3rd Jaguar I have owned. I had an '87 XJ6 (which I never sold that car, it was beautiful!) and an '05 S Type. I will ad photos when I have them.

Welcome my00xj8:
And congratulations - you've purchased an excellent car! But, given your Jag history, you already know that.

Enjoy the forum. You will have a lot to offer.
Cheers,
Scott

Thank you

Thank you for the warm reception. I love my new car! It's the first V8 Jaguar I've had and it's great. First thing I would like to do is add 18" XJR wheels and new tires. Someday also put in new struts all around to make it handle just that much better.
I will ad my car info to my signature if I can figure out how to do it .
Thanks again!
