Hu all, great forum, just had to join. Just got my XJ8 last week, wanted one all my life and now finally yeehhh.

 

Welcome! Hope your XJ8 experience is as great as mine has been. As a new Forum member, please note the it is trememdously helpful to anyone seeking to help if your Jag description appears as a footnote to your posts. (Look at some examples, then enter yours.)

My 02 XJ8 VDP has been a dream car these past 4 years. Consistent maintenance is the key; it simply must not be neglected, and it isn't cheap! Try to find a reputable, accessable independent Jag mechanic as soon as you can. Remember, the really good ones will never be 'cheap' but their advice and counsel can be invaluable.

A note about this Forum. Lots of marvelous, knowledgeable people eager to help you. You can learn much just by sampling the posts. Just remember that there is a built-in bias in what you read: most people don't post unless they have a problem.So mostly you are reading about problems. But these Jags aren't really lemons; they are, in fact, GREAT cars! But don't be mislead; owning and maintaining them is more expensive (but no more than for a BMW, Mercedes, etc.)

 

Hey DM, +1 ont eh welcome by Alvin ( don't think I could have put it better myself ), good to have you as part of the setup.

Great site with some top guys all round

Welcome to the forum DM, good to see that you are finally realizing a dream.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Congratulations, good advice from Alvin.

 

Thanks all, my only problem now is getting out of the XJ and go to work

 

Welcome to the forum!

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.
