Though born in England, I have lived in North Carolina for many years. I have just bought a 1999 XJ8 off ebay as a project car. This is my first Jaguar, but I have worked on a variety of cars over the years. The car was sold as a non-starter, but otherwise in good condition. I have resolved the non-starting - bad fuel pump. Replacing the fuel pump was relatively easy except for the quick release connectors under the diff - those were a pain.

Having now got the car started, I discovered that it will go into park, reverse and neutral, but will not go into drive. On to fixing the next problem with the help from the folks on the forums.
