Jst a quick intro, hi im mike, im 29, i live in crewe cheshire, im a proud owner of 2 nice jags. I have a 1988 4.2 xj6 in metallic British racing green with the cream leather interior, and i have recently purchased a 1998 4L xj8. They both have problems as love a challenge, i will upload some pics shortly, and hopefully with help from you guys and gals i can get them back to the order they deserve, thanks for reading, mike.

 

Welcome to the forum, again I think Mike, look forward to the pics, and all the members will help you along with problems.

 

Hi Mike

You might see my XJ6 (X350 model) araound Crewe. Jaguar Racing Green, with stainless steel mesh grill. At the moment, I don't attend any local Jaguar club, although I am in the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club and will be at the Northern Rally at Newby Hall on 10th July. I also have a '77 MG Midget, which is a bit primitive in comparison to the Jaguar, and a bit harder to climb into as well !

 

Welcome to the forum Mike,

Nothing like a challenge to keep you on your toes.

 

Hi there i do remember seeing the car you described somewhere, cant remember where, its the grill i remember. my xj6 is of the road at the min, got a couple of bib jobs to do on it. Theres a fault with the gearbox, and its up on the ramp at min with the tanks off, got some welding to do and replace the sendors, once its running again il tackle the gearbox.
from what ive read on here ive got to replace the upper chain tensioners on the xj8, ive never worked on that engine so should be fun. Im of to the garage to start sripping when my little ones go to there mums.

 

Oh and thanks for the welcome norri, im sure its going to be a big help using this forum and a big motivator reading other peoples stories, and im sure i will make some good friends along the way, mike.
