Greetings - We just purchased a 2005 XJ8L, and so far are loving it!

It has been 6 or 7 years since we sold our 1986 XJ-6. I hope this one is as reliable as that one was.

This forum is THE place to be for Jaguar owners!

Thanks to the owners/moderators!

Congrats on the XJ. Welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks!
I have some pictures, just need to find them buried in this computer somewhere. Does anyone know how long the waiting period/post requirement is to be able to view and post photos here? So far, I seem to b restricted from some featres due to spam safety precautions on the site.

 

I will address your restriction issues projectorguy
enjoy the forum

SORTED!

 

Welcome projectorguy look forward to the pics. To answer your question 'about 3h20' by the looks of things.

 

Hi Projectorguy,nice choice of car !

 

Thanks! That did the trick! Here are a couple pics of my daughter and I at Disney... I will post pics of the Jag tonight hopefully.

 

Look forward to the pics of your car,nice picture of you n the daughter.
I love disney world,been a few times,going this year too YEAH ! Its more for my 13 year old boy,really !!!! :}

 

Me too!! Just going for my daughters sake!

Finally got around to snapping a few pics - Without further adieu... Here she is, The Black Pearl!!!

 

Still getting to know the new gal - She has had all her service done, with records (just off of lease). So far, the issues were:

- Fog lights not working - dealer found a short near the switch.
- Coolant temperature sensor went on our first "out of town" trip, with accompanying "degraded performance" message and immediate temp gauge spike (did not overheat, though). I fixed this myself. The temp gauge was reading lower than it should (I know now) since we had it, so the sensor was on the way out all along I think.

I hope this is the end of it for a while. As we get to know her, our confidence will increase, as will our radius from home we drive with her...

 

nice pics, i am looking forward to talking some of my new car, hope i shoot as well

 

I got lucky - I was in a hurry, backed her out, snapped a few, and uploaded them (after doctoring up the license plate ). The light was perfect, and the Jaguar is pretty photogenic anyway...

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks for the pics projectorguy! Love the new car, hope she treats you well. In 5 years (guessing your daughter's age here) is she going to inherit the car?
