Talking XJ8 VP introduction

Hello fellow Jaguar owners. I have a British Racing Green '98 Vanden Plas and love the ride. Dad drives a new one but thinks mine looks better.

I got her a Kiwi WiFi OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics) reader for my iPhone in case I get any trouble codes from her computer. Unfortunately I don't think it registers the dreaded Failsafe Engine Mode or occasional cruise control drop out.

Another mod I added was a class II hitch receiver which is hidden through the bumper. It mostly holds an aluminum rack for occasional bulky or messy transport (wood pellets, gas can, portable generator, etc).

Thank you all in advance for the great help and your knowledge! 8-D
Jay

I do like English Automobiles and English Ales though not too much at the same time . Took a few years to get the family into Jags. Bro just bought a new Beemer, he is resistant to change.

I almost bought a DB7 last year (close relative to Jags) but got scooped by a buyer who paid less than I offered. Scuzzy salesman withheld my offer a day to try and get me to offer more.
