Hello fellas, just introducing myself as a new member. I am a retired government worker but have been an avid car buff since I was 15 years old. I am presently 56 and still crazy about cars, always will be. I am the proud owner of a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 V8, mileage 102682 and still going strong. I am also the proud owner of a 1978 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith ii with original miles 79659. It had been parked for about 15 years by the previous owner. It runs but needs some TLC and a little bit of work. I am new to this forum thing so bear with me while I get the hang of it. My Jaguar had very low miles when I acquired it (55k) but I use it as a daily driver causes it drives great and its a sad shame not to drive these beauties. I have also been a follower of this forum but didn't have time to join until now. I want to thank everybody who dedicates their time to this forum and also to its members. By the way I am a do it yourself kind of guy and I also have mechanical experience since I was a young man. So, I will probably be asking a question or two in the near future.

Welcome to the forum Fadletxj8,

Follow Norri's link to the X350 section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. 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 forum.

Graham
