Hey guys, my name is Josh and I recently bought my first jaguar.
2004 JaguarXJ8

I've always been a VW/Audi guy owning mostly mk4 dubs and B5/B6 audis. Recently I've stepped out of my comfort zone and bought a 2004 Volvo S60R (which is my daily and I'm thoroughly enjoying) and of course the 2004 Jaguar XJ8.

The jaguar purchase was spontaneous because I loved the XJ comfortable luxury. I'm looking forward to working on the cat and learning this car.

I recently had my first major problem, "car too low". Blew my first air strut and didn't like the prices that were associated with repairing them. Haha. I went ahead and researched and done away with them by installing Arnott conversion kit. So far, so good. I will definitely post up on other topics as a review of how they ride soon.

Thanks for reading and happy to be pet of the forum. 🍻

Hello, Josh,
I'm told by those who claim to know, that a Comfort Zone is synonymous with a Rut, which is itself said to be a coffin with the ends kicked out. Life is dull and boring without adventure. Your 'new' Jaguar will Definitely give you Adventure!!

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
