Well Just starting off on the right foot...TATA did it right with these cars..

Hi Folks..I've been a long time JAG owner..I had from new, a 2003 X Type 3.0L (British Racing Green) and it lasted and ran perfect (with extra care and preventive maintenance of course) up until I traded it with 98,000 miles for a 2011 Lincoln MKZ AWD 3.5L in Aug of 2011..The dealer sales dude bought the Jag for himself..so it was one of the few good ones...The Lincoln was awesome, but it wasn't a Jaguar..I Liked the looks of the XF when is came out shortly after TATA took over from Ford in 2009..But I wasn't going to rush to get the first year model or second year or even the third year..I waited and then I seen a 2012 with 2K miles on it (British Racing Green) and the price was right with the 6 year 100,000 mile warranty and 4 years of free oil changes and all maintenance...Long story short..LOVING IT!!!!

I've been lurking the XF forums and learned a lot about the car so far..One thing I do hate though..Is that I can't change the oil myself anymore, like I'm use to doing..but I'll figure something out..or Maybe JAG will relax their warranty restrictions after the first 4 years of ownership..

Anyway, looking forward to learning more and enjoying the fellowship of the car..


See cars mentioned below...

2003 Jag X-Type



2011 Lincon MKZ






And now the 2012 XF



Oh BTW..I put OE Splash guards on and they work perfect and look awesome..

 

EDIT ..WHere does the edit feature come in...I was going to correct somthing in my post but couldn't find the EDIT button..

Anyway..The 03 Jag X-type I mentioned was a "Jaguar Racing Green", not "British Racing Green"

Welcome to the forum DPK,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Thanks Graham and Norri..I have done most of what you suggested..

Also I still don't see or have the EDIT button yet..I'll see after this post..Testing...

 

Nope... no EDIT button..maybe I have to wait for the initial 10 posts

 

All I get is the Quote button

 

Welcome to the forum and nice looking Jag - enjoy!!!!

 

Nope..that theroy doesn't work either..I have 13 posts now and NO EDIT BUTTON..oh well..I guess I'll just have to spel cheeck closer before I hitt the subbimt button..

 

Thanks..It was a choice between the XF and a MB E350..I think I like the JAG better now that I have it..

 

You can Quote any post but only Edit your own posts. The Edit button is only available to you on your posts.

Graham..I understand how it works..I don't get the EDIT button on any of my posts, even immediately after I've post...Some forums I realize gives you about 30 minutes to an hour to edit your Own post before the feature disappears..It doesn't present itself to me on MY POSTS at all here, at least not yet..

Not a big deal, I was wondering if any of the other newbies have this issue?

 

Surprise, surprise..I bet this is the reason for the no EDIT button..I haven't been here for 3 days yet....Pays to read a little..

I copied this from the sticky at the top of this section for New comers..

Our admin can manually adjust your account to bypass the mandatory period. This 'period' includes a preset number of days (3) that you must be active, and a minimum post count of ten (10). Once these are surpassed, the magic happens and you'll have full access. I assure you,

 

There's a newbie probation period of three days/10posts.

I'm not certain what all the restrictions are but there's a good chance that will be your problem.

 

Welcome to the forum! That's a sparkly, shiny XF you got there. The forum gets glitches every now and then but they sort themselves out after a few days.

 

Thanks Muddy..Yeah the forum is working as advertized..My edit button was available today..so all is good..
