My name is Bruce Smith, hello from Calgary. I did one post already I think so this could be my second. I've owned two used XJ40's. My first Jag I bought had 237k miles on it until I cracked a cylinder at 270k miles and with the help of a Haynes manual replaced the engine by myself. I then replaced that one when the rust over took her with the same model and year but with only 127k miles. I recently up graded to a 2004 XJ8 with 100k miles that came from Arizona. Love the car, the ride and the luxury. My first problem with this car has arrived, temp gauge was spiking a couple of times but would return to normal quickly and I lost a bit of fluid on the garage floor. I replaced the thermostat and heat sensor and fixed the gauge problem but I only have heat now on the passages side only. I think I still have a small leak in a hose somewhere because I need to replace small amounts of fluid now and again depending on how far I travel. Looking forward to hearing from this forum for tips and advice, I enjoy fixing what I can. Jag Lovers was a great forum for me with my other Jag's but can't help me with a newer model. Winter is just around the corner so I'd like to get this problem solved quickly.
