Hello!As the new owner of a 1999 XJ8, I was thrilled to find this forum since I was experiencing problems with my XJ8. I quickly learned about ODB and purchased one this week, and have found 5 fault codes. I took autoshop back in high school (early '70's) so I have a basic understanding of cars but that was before the day of electronics.
Anxious to hear if anyone would recommend a mechanic out this way.
Enjoy reading the posts very much.

Alison, depending on how much time you want to spend with your kitty, you can come on down south a little further to California, MD and I will help you do a lot to your car. I am always working on Jaguars and am willing to offer a hand getting the little problems taken care of. I also have a pretty decent code reader now that will help us figure out what is wrong with the car.
Please understand that I am currently out of town and will not be back in town until the middle of NOvember. So, if you are interested, this gives us time to figure things out.

Thanks, Chris, appreciate that very much. Based on your availability (and immobility of Lady Jay), I had her towed last night to English Auto in Odenton based on a recommendation here. But, would be thrilled to have a fellow enthusiast make sure she continues to purr.
Enjoy the feedback and discussions here very much. Safe travels back to California and thanks again.

Ness,
Shane and friends at English Auto are wonderful! Certified Jag folk, they know their trade well (former Jaguar dealer master mechanics, I believe), and look out for your best interests.
I had my XJ8 towed there Thursday night and by Friday midday, Shane called to let me know exactly what needed to be done, when the parts would be delivered, and total cost.
I picked it up first thing this morning. Very pleased - Lady Jay is in tip top shape.
I really appreciate the person on the forum who shared their name - must sift through the thread to find.
Highly recommend. Right off Rt. 32 & Telegraph Rd.
