Welcome to the forum movevio.

Congrats on the new purchase.

"First order of business" should be putting your vehicle description in your signature! Go to "User CP" in upper left corner of any site page, click "edit signature".

Enjoy all the site has to offer!

Welcome,

XJ8 is a good model. Head on to the X308 section for advice on locating parts at the best deal and info on how to do the timing work yourself.
