Hey there,
Thought I'd stop by and introduce myself. I've never posted on any forum but have stalked this one for a month while looking for my car. After some time, I settled on a sharp 2009 XF that came from Massachusetts originally. It's a two owner car, clean carfax but has some quirks....I've read about the gremlins...anyhow, it also has aftermarket wheels setting off the tire pressure sensor....doesn't bother me much though but the car does have a slight shake at 75+ in the steering wheel....alignment or just improper wheels? No engine lights or electrical issues known thus far but did have 1 strange bout of upon turning on, the ram's dropped and car shut off....just died. Should I be worried? Lastley, the bloody glove box sensor is in op and I can't seem to get in there! Any suggestions?

Look forward to sharing and learning from everyone here as this is my first venture into Jaguar! Historically I've been a Rousch Mustang or or 7 Series Driver. I admit, I'm smitten with this bad cat!

Cheers

Welcome.

Yep, wheels would be my first best guess.

Hello, Jamie,
We prefer the term "lurking" to "stalking." Mere semantics I know, but "stalking" infers unwholesome intent.

You will learn Tons of stuff about Jaguars in here! In fact, almost everything I know about these cars, I learned in here. Of course that doesn't count what I learned from getting my hands dirty on Nix! hahaha

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the X250 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


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 Midwest Region forum by following this link US Midwest - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
