Hello to everyone,

My name is Alexander and I live in the heart of Germany in Wiesbaden which is quite close to Frankfurt. I turned 31 this year and am working at a company in the healthcare field. Since the english language is not my mother tongue please be forgiving with typos and bad grammar.

Last year in november I decided to divorce my beloved 14 year old Peugeot 106 and get a "Jag" instead. However I didn't had the heart to sell the 106, so I kept it in the warm garage of my parents.
As I went out in search for a new car, I had clear ideas about what it should be like: I wanted to get a second-hand car which is powered by a V8!

After some Audis, Mercs and BMWs, I stumbled across Jaguar's V8 generation (x308). And since I really like the classy and elegant body of the x300 and x308, I finally got a XJR built in 2000. The british-racing-green beauty - I named him "Winston" - is almost fully equipped (even with the rare R-performance brembo brakes) and got 150k km (approx 95k miles) on the clock.

As far as possible I try to service and repair the car by myself. There are some workshops around which provide lifting platforms for rent. And since I got no garage or parking-place in Wiesbaden, that's the only way to mend things at the car.

Since I'm an engaged member of the german Jaguar forum (jaguar-forum.de, Nick: xjr2014) I'm not new to forums in general. And since I have profited already multiple times from the profound knowledge here, I want to return the favour and help wherever I can and share my experiences.

Best regards,

Alexander

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the X308 technical forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
