Hello, my name is steven and i am joining the jaguar family. I purchased my first jaguar a couple of months ago. A got an used 2004 xj8. Love the car. It had 136600 miles on it and i stuck my neck out and purchased it from a dealer who buys at auctions. Never know what your getting in that situation.

I have a company vechile so i only drive the jag on weekends and have yet to log a 1,000 miles. Yes i discovered the forum after having some problems.

The check engine light came on, p071 & p074. Hopefully i have that problem solved. Well don't want to rant on just wanted to introduce myself. I live in north texas and have all my life. The jaguar is a 2004 xj8, black with grey interior and still looks great with 137.000 miles.

I had washed and detailed the garage dust off last weekend and gone to the gas station. I young man in his twenties next to me said he sure did like the car. He could not believe it was ten years old. He thought it was new.


Look forward to becoming a member and sharing.
