Hello everyone my name is Tom, I’ve been doing my own work on a 2001 XJ8 for the last few years. I bought the car used and I have no mechanics background but I do it all myself. I must admit I’ve been a lurker for years and I’ve saved a lot of money by reading the posts on this site. I thought it was about time that I join the forum and introduce myself even though the computer can be a challenge for me. Thanks for adding me.

Nice. I love that color. But yes, I tell everyone don't buy a Jaguar out of warranty unless you are a DIY'er.

Welcome to the forums Tom,

Good to have you with us.

As a long time lurker, you probably already know the relevant model forum but if computers are a challenge, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/ to the to the X308 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/ to find other members in your region.

I've added vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. If you want to change these, go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Graham,

Thank you for the warm welcome and advice. Didn’t know about the lower Atlantic region. Will give it a try since I live on the East coast of Florida. Thanks Again!

Yes, I am finding that out, I am happy that at least I know how to turn a wrench and use a meter. Thank you for the welcome!
