Hello everyone!
I have been a member for a while, but just made my first post and was directed to the Intro.


I'm from Surfside Beach SC and got a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 last year and immediately fell in love. I LOVE this car. I'm extremely lucky that someone took exceptional care of it and for the most part it looks brand new. With it being ten years old and having 116,000 miles on it the normal things you would expect have started needing repair which brought me here.


So far I have replaced the trunk struts which started failing causing the trunk lid to fall on me all the time. I have replaced the windshield wiper inserts - that was a fun adventure due to the washer jets being on the wiper arm. Who knew it was so hard to find JUST the wiper insert to replace? My next project will be the brakes as they have begun squealing letting me know it's time to replace.


Anyway, I have already found a ton of useful information here and look forward to babying my Jag with your help.


Thanks,
Chris

From a fellow South Carolinian - welcome to the forum- you will find a wealth of info and support here.


You've already found the XJ (X350) section - be sure to check out the How to's and DIY threads at the top of the section.


For local events/news, be sure to check out the Lower Atlantic regional section:


USA Lower Atlantic - NC SC FL GA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum




lastly - recommend adding a signature to your profile by clicking the User CP link in the upper left - include model and year to get the best responses to questions


Enjoy!!

Welcome to the forum splashdwn1,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the X350 tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Enjoy the forums.

Graham

By this time you and your Jaguar are certainly bonded! Kitties appreciate all the attention they can get and will reward you with their own attention.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
