My name is Tim, I just bought a 1998 Jaguar xj8L. I always wanted that car. I love the body style. I am trying to learn as much as I can about the car. I have had some bumps so far, However, I am going to stick it out.

 

Glad to have you with us Tim!

 

I am glad to be here, i have been reading post and i amlearning alot about my car. I am glad to hear there are more of us out here!

 

Welcome to the forum,

Plenty of reading here to keep you amused for a while.

 

Thank you I have noticed all the information on the forums. I am having problems with my ac compressor not kicking on. I have put power to the compressor to see if the compressor was not working and it works but won't stay on when i remove the jumper wire. sometimes it stays on from 5 to 20 minutes and sometimes it won't stay on at all. any advice would be much appreciated.
