I bought my first XJ6 back in early '21 with less than 0 knowledge about them whatsoever, had a fun surprise when i found out it had a chevy I6!! that lasted about two weeks then later in the year i decided to buy another one with the knowledge i gained from the previous one and it didn't benefit me one bit one has a catacomb for a fuel system and the other is the son of Frankenstein im sure someone here feels my pain!

"Why did I have to go and buy 2 old Jags?"
Because you were Smitten by their colossal beauty, that's why!

I'm sorry you've been disappointed in both your new Jags, but by now they are Decades old and doubtless in need of some real tender loving care.

The section where Graham has directed you will help you wrap your head around all the Idiotsyncracies of these Wonderful cars. I'll look for you there.

Welcome to the Forums.

I look at the lack of boredom in your foreseeable future.

Enjoy.

 

Thanks everyone! This has been pretty huge jump for me seeing as i have been into camrys for the last 8 years, engine swaps, harnesses, rebuilds, trans.. they are simple and very cheap and reliable (and fun). when i found out i could get an old jag for the same price and less i couldnt say no the minute i sat in one! it really takes me to a whole nother time. I really enjoy old cheap cars and cant deny the beauty but it would be a lie if i said i didnt under estimate the rate things stop working.

In the last two days my fuel changeover switch exploded) and the brake master cylinder finally went out in a car wash (that was fun!) (can i use anything else for the switch?)

Im also from the PNW seattle area if anyone local likes to tinker on these things and earn some extra cash or anyone knows a mechanic. i cant count how many times ive been told to "bring it on down" so they can check it out just to tell me to take it back home the next day one reason or another, as someone who never takes their car to the mechanic having to suck it up and take it down to one just to be told off after wasting a tow truck or a full tank of leaking gas is super disheartening.
