Default New XJS owner

Hi everyone, I've just bought a 1990 XJS 3.6 auto with 93k on the clock, loads of history and enthusiast owners for the last 15 years. It's in good useable condition, although it failed its MOT yesterday. Only needs a bush replaced to pass though so happy with that! It's also
Leaking oil (fairly standard I expect!) and some red fluid, but I'm having this looked at in the next couple of weeks hopefully. Drives and runs like a dream so far! I'm in Glasgow Scotland. David

Looking for an XJ S myself. They look different depending on the colour in my opinion,some better than others,but white is always a safe bet,

Welcome to the Forum Dave. Hope you get a chance to share a picture or two with us.
Enjoy.

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow Steve's link in post #6 to the XJS forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

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.

Enjoy the forums.

David,

Excellent news on the MoT.

Your SigPic is looking good but there was no vehicle details showing:



I've added 1990 XJS 3.6 auto for you above the SigPic. You can edit this any way you prefer.

Graham

Congrats and welcome. If your hands on you will enjoy. They (XJS) are and will always be (to me) one of the classic Jaguars (XKE the most classic). Good luck and this is a great forum so have fun too.
