Default NEW Owner new member of XJ8

HI and thanks in advance for all the help I will get from this site I have just rescued a 1998 XJ8 L from my neighbor hear in Athens TN She has been sitting outside untouched for the last 6 years 4 flat tiers, bad paint bad gas, dead original Jaguar battery and who knows what else. The good stuff is a perfect interior and after I put a battery in and turned the key it cranked and the odometer reads 32800 miles so I cant wait to get started. Thanks again Tom

welcome to the forum and the Jag family - sounds like you will be busy for a bit, but at least you have joined the best place for info and support to bring her back to all her regal splendor.

Recommend checking out the howto's and downloads as well as the regional section. It is also recommended to add a signature including model and year for best responses to questions or issues you may run into.
