I made this account to help fix my car. She's a 2005 Jaguar Vanden Plas and I bought the car from a shady dealer that didn't tell me about the issues with the car or British car moments that I call them. I do a lot of my own maintenance because I don't have a lot of money to pay mechanics so it's cheaper for me to fix the issues myself but I might need help from this forum.

Hello,
Most of us here find it more economical to do our own work on our Elderly cars; and some of the Newer ones too!

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome to the forum. 20 year old cars have many secrets that will reveal themselves to you in the months to come. The XJ8 is a good car, sometimes they need a bit of sorting, usually to make up for neglected or poor maintenance in the past.
