Default New member Intro

Hello,
I am new to this Group, I have a 2004 Vanden Plas with 120,000 miles. New to Jaguar, but not to working on cars. Last long-term repair project was a 1995 BMW 740il. Got rid of it and found this Jag. Been wanting a Jag for many years and finally found the Vanden Plas and I love it. Having some issues that I hope you-all will be able to help me with. Currently having the dreaded Air Suspension Failure, also had an issue with the cruse control. We'll get to that later I hope.
Bear with me as I learn how to post and respond on this Forum.

Welcome to the Forums.

Well done on the Jag, and in case you did not know, your Jag is known as an X350 in Jag talk.

That Tech section is down the home page a tad, and the wealth of knowledge in there is superb.

Good luck.

Thanks guys! I'm a newbie to forums, but not cars. Yes I know my Jag is the X350, been "lurking" on this website for a couple of years. Bought my Jag about 2 years ago and haven't had any problems until recently. Used the information on the forum to order a relay and the compressor rebuild kit. Just waiting for the parts to arrive and hopefully that will solve my problem!
I've been looking for a good clean Jag sedan for many years, and lucked up on mine. I think the XJ8 series are the best-looking cars ever!! Was looking for an XJR, but after seeing this Vanden Plas, well I couldn't resist.

Agreed. The VdP trim is at another level and even worth compromising on the supercharger!

Sadly we won't see their like again. The later model has little to distinguish it as a Jaguar and the manufacturer is determined to go "hybrid" or "all electric" with the next XJ.
