Hi all, I've been following this forum for some time and decided to join yesterday. My wife and I own a 2001 XJ8, Graphite Black which now has about 124,000 miles on it. I'm a former Grumman flight test F-14 Tomcat Plane Captain with lots of hours turning wrenches on the beast. I perform all my own maintenance on or other vehicles but have never really touched the Jag. It has always gone to a Jag dealer for maintenance. I want to start doing my own maintenance on the car to try and save some money. I will be posting a cooling issue we are having with the cat as I have done some of my own troubleshooting to narrow down the problem. This site seems to be just what I need to feel comfortable to take care of some issues with the vehicle, which really has been a terrific ride since we bought it new in 2001. Thanks, Tim

Thank you Jim for the warm welcome! I also appreciate the quick upgrade! I'm still navigating the site getting my bearings. I'll get there eventually. Maybe now I'll be able to solve some mysteries of our Jaguar.

 

I am a BIG fan of the F14. A friend's Dad was a pilot in the first operational squadron. Cool planes......
