Default My first Jag!

Hi everyone! I'm Jeff, I live in Dundee, Scotland. I recently bought my first Jag as a project and it's nearly ready for the road, I can't wait! Having a serious overfueling issue but will get into that later!
It's a 1999 XJ8 and just over 100000 miles.

Welcome to the forums Lucky carrot,

You certainly will when you start driving it. They have a homing instinct for petrol stations.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/ to the X308 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello,
100000 miles is just well broken in and loosened up for a modern engine.
With proper care and feeding you'll be able to triple that easily.
