Hello, fellow Jaguar enthusiasts.

Name here is David (or Dave), and I'm a new Jaguar owner. I was fortunate to find a excellent condition '02 XJ8 with 52K on the clock. Vehicle was definitely garage-kept, as interior is practically in showroom condition. VIN shows F45XXX, so my cat *should* have the third gen tensioners in the 4L V8 (I'm hoping), but I have yet to verify the engine block serial number.

Wow! What a great car, and I got a fantastic deal on it too!

After a new set of shoes, the car feels like it's on rails, and goes exactly where I tell it too. Man, I thought the Volvo drove well...anyone want to buy a used Volvo?

First order of business - thank you to this forum, and its membership for the friendly exchange of great information. Info in the forum is what made me decide to adopt this cat. Since I'm new to Jags, I'll have little to contribute at first; but as I learn over time, I expect to become a contributing member of the community.

I'll endeavor to get some good pics of her in the near future, and post them. Should anyone know of any Jaguar clubs in Northern Florida, I'd be interested in learning about them.

Cheers!

Hi there David. Welcome aboard JaguarForums, and greetings from a fellow enthusiast in Australia.
Best wishes,

Thanks for the warm receptions... Now that I've put about 500 miles on her, and checking things out, I'll likely be posting some questions in the X308 tech board a little later, after a few more well-crafted searches.

Some of my questions have already been answered by searching that board, but a couple have not.

What is the best practice for posting in the tech area - one post per problem/question, or all problems/questions in a single post?

Thanks much.
