Default New Jaguar convert

Hello all!

I recently bought a 2003 XJ Super V8, 78k miles. It's more or less an overweight XJR, but I chose it based on its solid internals and beautiful color. I am converting from a long run of Volvo loyalty, so I know the benefits of meticulous maintenance. I am sad to part with my Volvo, but am in love with the Jaguar.

I have replaced spark plugs, all fluids and filters, and cleaned the MAF and TB. Eager to start on some upgrades. Is there any other routine/prophylactic maintenance that I should invest in prior to moving forward with any performance tuning?

Welcome to the forum bluecat,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

2003 was a model change year from the steel bodied X308 to the aluminium bodied X350 with both styles being sold.

Follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum or this one XJ ( X350 & X358 ) XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X350 foum as appropriate for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top of each is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

You can also visit the US Northwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/northwest-washington-oregon-idaho-sw-canadians-64/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
