I decided to finally join the forum because I was looking for information on how to remove my XJ8 ac compressor. I did not find much on that topic so I decided to join and perhaps do a write up of the process, if it has not been done already. If a write up on this has been done on this already I would love to hear about.

I have had my 2001 XJ8L for several years now and have been gradually been fixing all the loose ends to get it back to tip top shape. I was surprised to learn that my car was a low production model being a long wheel base car in base level trim. According to Nigel Thorley's book "Jaguar: All the Cars", only 148 lwb cars in base level trim were made. Most of the lwb cars were made in higher grade trims such as Vanden Plas. Kind of a nice surprise there.

I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Thanks for the kind reply. Good looking series II.

 

Welcome to the Forums.

The XJ8/XJR (X308) Tech Section is the place.

If you wish to a write up, that would be good. It keeps the archives alive for future generations.

Good luck.

 

Thanks for the encouragement. Should I do the write up here, or in the X308 section? I did find this thread "01 XJR AC Compressor removal". Would that be a good place for it, or is this worthy of a new thread? Still learning the way around the forum.

 

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!!

 

Welcome to the forums Jagman34,

Definitely a new thread in X308 forum is the best option.

I can see you've already found your way to the X308 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-midwest-39/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.
