Hello everbody,

my name is Sven and I live in the northern part of Germany. I use a XJ6 (X300) with 3.2 ltr engine as an every day car for over five years now.
I am doing most of the maintenance and repairs by myself, so I will try to document my work with some photos to contribute some interesting help to this forum.

And here is my pride and joy:



I purchased it 2014 with a mileage of 100.000. Before that it has been standing around for nearly 8 years doing less than 2000 mls in that time frame.
After changing oll lubricants, brake fluid and spark plugs I pressed it into service again and in the first two years it clocked up more than 40.000 mls on german autobahns without missing a beat. I was really impressed by the reliability and smoothness, the car showed.

Nowaday I am using it still as a daily driver, but I avoid to use it in the winter with its salty road conditions.
For this I have another iconic british car :



kind regards
Sven

Welcome to the forums Sven,

The XJ's do look superb in black.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj6-xjr6-x300-26/ to the X300 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please 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.

You can also use the Europe Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
