Default Hello - possible new Jaguar owner

Hello everyone

I am Andy, from Hertfordshire

I am going to be looking at a 2008 X358 2.7d Executive tomorrow and hopefully returning to Jaguar ownership, I have previously owned a X300 3.2 Executive

The XJ is going to be my second car, to my daily Astra J 2.0 cdti SRI

The car has covered 116K with a full service history

The car is a 2008 registered vehicle and is "claimed" to be an Executive model, however, from what I can tell the executives came with satnav as standard, yet from the pictures of the vehicle interior it doesnt have satnav

Does anyone know the exact specifications of 2008 Jaguar XJ's ? I tried parkers, but, I have found errors with them before

Thanks in advance if anyone can help

Welcome to the forum Andy,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow this link XJ XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR ( X350 & X358 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X350 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link UK & Eire - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

I hope the XJ checks out alright. Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thank you for all the welcomes

I am due to collect the car tomorrow

So, once I have had a chance to detail the car (weather permitting) I'll post up some pictures

Good to hear it checked out alright.

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.

Collection went all ok with the car on Wednesday

I certainly took a hit at the fuel pumps when I filled it up, 72 litre @ £1.17/litre.....hopefully I wont be visiting the fuel pumps that often though

Driven it home which was about 100 miles, lovely, cruise control on, hifi on, smooth ride, very relaxing, just what I was hoping

Its due a test tomorrow as we are off on holiday in it, off up north to the Yorkshire Dales, it may get a look at snowy conditions looking at the forecast

Havent had a chance to detail it properly yet as it started to rain as soon I got outside with the pressure washer!

You'll be visiting the pumps a few times before you get back home!

Enjoy the holiday.
