Hi all. Just bought me a 1997 XJ6 3.2 and love it. Yes it needs some TLC but that's the whole point!

I'm Jim,40 years old and come from Leicestershire in the UK. Currently working as a truck driver/trainer. Past Jobs include Test/development driver/rider at MIRA proving ground, Engineering,Manufacture and British Reserve Forces.

I have always wanted a Jaguar and this one came up cheap on a well known internet auction site. I bought it with the intention of keeping it usable and to restore it sympathetically rather than to get obsessed about it being perfect. Nothing is perfect.

It has a couple of problems, the main one being a fuel leak which I will post about in the relevant section. For now I'm just saying Hi

 

Welcome Jim,

Testing at MIRA - that's not a job, it's a blessing from the gods!

I see you've already found your way to X300 section. Hope the fuel leak is an easy fix.

Graham

 

Thanks Graham, The fuel leak was easier than I thought...


I'm letting my Uncles brother in law do it!

 

Welcome to the forum Jim,

Good to have you with us.
I see you have found a novel way of solving your Jag problems, can you drink beer while he does it?
My sentiments are the same as Grahams on the MIRA job.
