I purchased a 2005 Jaguar XJ8 L for my wife in January. The XJ8 has been her dream car since she was 15 and had a learner's permit.

I have been the resident mechanic for the entire 10 years we have been married, so I now get to scour the forum looking for advice and hopefully sharing my experiences as I find problems with her car.

So far since January, I have fixed the washer fluid system (no fluid would pump out), the glove box damper, and recently the blower motor for her A/C and heat.

If I can help anyone, I would be glad to help.

I took pictures of the repair for the blower motor, and will post a detailed post with pictures later.

I also have a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country, 2001 Ford F-250, and 1988 Mitsubishi Mighty Max.

Happy to be part of the club, and hope that others experiences can help me to work on the wife's baby.

I guess if you're forced to join a forum, this is a good one to join!

Welcome!

Looking forward to your posts.

 

Yes, you should have one too! One day I'll have two in my garage but I know the 2nd one won't be my wife's; she considers the sedans too low!

Welcome to the forum!

 

I second the "get a 2nd" comment -- same year, same model, that way it can be a parts car, too! J/K

I'll probably get a 2nd one for myself -- would love to have an older XJS, even if it needed to be a garage queen! Found one a few months ago but I guess I was too enthusiastic when I drooled and screamed -- I'll buy it!!!! The guy decided to keep it and get it fixed so HE can have all the fun, not ME!!!! Selfish is what I call that!

 

lol.
