Default Introducing myself

Hello.
My name is Derek. I live in Sacramento, Calif.

I own a 2003 Jaguar XJ8 VIN# SAJDA14C13LF594xx

I purchased the car this week with 98,345 miles. The car is black with the sovereign package.

So far, I love this car. How I came to own it is a long, ugly story, best saved for interested people.

Regardless, this is by far the most technologically advanced car I have ever owned.

Looking forward to meeting folks and trading opinions.

Welcome to the forum Derek,

I've edited your VIN to stop anyone identifying your exact vehicle - it's too much personal information to put on a public forum.

Now you've tempted us with the 'long, ugly story', we just have to know more!

Follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 section for help, advice and information.

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.

You can also visit the US Western Region section by following this link Western US - AK CA NV OR UT HI WA ID - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Welcome to this friendly Forum, Derek,
The XJ8 technical section is here XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
since your VIN gives an X308 4.0 L engine and there's a Regional section for you too
Western US - AK CA NV OR UT HI WA ID - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
Enjoy your XJ8 and your membership here.
(Simultaneous post with Graham so repeated info !)

Good to have you with us.
We are all interested in the story, don't hold out.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.
