Hi all,

The car has been in storage over the last few years, now all the craziness is (hopefully) behind us time to light the blue touch paper again ...

Heading for the X350 forum - guess what - air suspension is my first challenge - working my way through the relevant posts ... ;-)

Regards and thanks in advance for any assistance ...

Hello, Leigh,
Welcome (officially) to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome!


I started with 1986 XJS V12. Loved it! A joy to drive. The more I drove it, the better it behaved.
It was basically reliable and wasn't a money pit. I just had trouble getting in and out because of the low roof line. Like mounting a Corvette.

So I moved to a pair of sedans. 2001 XJ8 and 2004 Vanden Plas. The XJ8 (Less than $6K; 148K miles) is a joy to look at and drives beautifully; very reliable, except that the transmission was bad from the start; only showing trouble when hot. Other than that repair, good to go. I drive it during the summer since a powerful rear drive sedan isn't best on snow and ice. Besides, its rust free and the interior is immaculate. I bought it down to UT from Seattle. Only negative is the lack of modern Bluetooth and US phone compatibility.

The 2004 Vanden Plas is a real land rocket! Can you imagine having an extra 100 horses with the XJR version? My, that's amazing. Aluminum and composites make it a few hundred lbs. lighter than the 2001 and it shows in the performance! Simply amazing. Cooling issues are nagged me, radiator, thermostat and fan; oh yeah, fuel pump. I suspect they are no different than any other used cars today over 100K miles on the clock..
