I had this 2003 Jaguar XJ8 for three years now - bought it with 70k miles, and now I have 96k miles on it. I am the third owner, and I had great time with it. I've done few things to it, since I had it - new front brakes, thermostat housing, transmission service and new fuel pump. I consider all these maintenance items, and they were done at a very reasonable prices, so the ownership cost, including purchase price is lower, than leasing a cheap entry level car for the same 36 months. Anyway here are the pictures:

This is when I bought it:



This is now - had to do window tint, didn't really wanted it though:



Getting it fixed, after somebody hit me:



This is a great forum - very helpful and informative! I was able to diagnose everything, that I needed.
Thanks for looking!

Welcome to the forum sashoivanov78,

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar forums. I had one just like that apart from the steering wheel being on the other side!

It sounds like you already know your way around here but if not, follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please 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.

You can also visit the US Southwest Region forum by following this link Southwest US - AZ TX NM OK - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
