Hello All! My lovely ride is a Jaguar xj (vdp) 2004 x350
I purchased it at 120k miles and just a few days ago it has hit 150k miles. I have loved every bit of driving this car! I am 20 years old so this was my first car, and all I've done so far is change spark plugs due to misfire , and 1 ignition coil due to cylinder 7 misfiring. Glad to be apart of the jaguar family⭐

Don't know why I am perusing new member posts today.

Congrats on your car Noah and bravo on your good taste.
They are neat.
Every time you get in it is an experience.
The entire experience is so comforting and relaxing. Reassuring.
Makes one just feel good...

I recall as a younger kid attending Rolls Royce Club events with my family.
Despite being a Jaguar enthusiast even then, others were surprised to hear my dream car was a MkVI Bentley.

While I certainly respect and like classic RR and Bentley, I could never, ever support the price gouging on parts etc.
Completely turned me off. Sure there are some methods and substitutes, most others, nope.
Internet has changed the game a lot though.

Anyway, Jaguar is the best all around marque, with one of the best enthusiast followings.
Wonderful history and pedigree. Blend of sport, elegance, luxury..
Parts easily and readily available...cheap. Especially if you know where to look.

Yours is too new for me, but you chose well.
I think only issues (from what I've come across) being the air suspension failing....and other newer car planned obsolescence crap...like coils and front suspension parts like ball joints wearing prematurely.

Always, safety first. Take precautions. It matters. It really does. Secondary and even tertiary supports while under the car, etc.
When I think of some of the things I got away with, tired and dirty...as one does.
...makes me cringe.

Anyway, have fun and be careful.
