well now the code is back, but i did some serious sliding today in Michigans horrible weather, i couldnt even get up the driveway (has a moderate incline). it took me 7 tries

 

Bought it !

 

Congratulations, please share the details and your thoughts so far

 

Just saw a series on BBC Two called The Fixer. They grabbed a X305 and converted it into a hearse

Yeah I have been driving my Jeep the past 2 days, miss the XJ already but I doubt its snow prowess.

 

Replaced shock bushings, installed seat heater controls, installed new exhaust tips, fixed j gate lights and changed air filter.

 

do you have a heated Garage? i dont know how your doing all this work, i mentally cannot do work in the cold

 

so ive had a coolant leak for a little while. today i finally decided to see where it was coming from and i tracked it down to the passengers side. there is a hard pipe coming from the block, that has a coupling, then into a soft hose. the leak is coming right at the coupling, then dripping onto the exhaust.

i couldnt find it on the EPC. i dont know what part it is, any help?

 

Yes heated garage, I had to do that years ago so I could work on my cars during the off season so I wasn't spending all of my nice weather wrenching!

 

(Per the mechanic) Replaced the timing chain, added hub caps, replaced some fuses.

 

Replaced breather hose, installed realgauge, replaced some misc bulbs and cleaned it up a bit.

 

New spark plugs and a good cleaning inside and out.

I replaced my "B" bank knock sensor. I was getting a P0333 code. I paid about $70 for it online. It really wasn't a bad job, just fiddly getting the old one out and the new one in under / through the intake manifold. I used a bent wire and a long skinny screwdriver. I also replaced my thermo display bulbs with LEDs. I saw a post on here about the LEDs. They fit fine, but now I don't like them. I think they are too bright even though I ordered the least bright ones. I hate to take it apart again, but I think I will and take the little blue condoms off the old bulbs and see if I can use them on the new LEDS. I had one bulb burned out is why I did this in the first place !

 

where is this supposed to sit? i dont think its down there

 

Washed it!

2000 XJ8 x308

 

my car needs a good wash, shes covered up in salt, and all sorts of nasty

 

Replacing the shocks this evening which I was lead to believe were already done by the previous owner.

Which they were not.

 

ordered "The Beast" hose for the car, finally going to get this leak sorted

 

my problem is that i didn't do anything to my X308 today, nor yesterday nor the day before... it was my daily driver while the rust issue on the alfa was being sorted. now that the alfa is back in my hands, chances are that the XJR will become just a sunday driver. that's why i made the difficult decision to sell it. i know the toll of just sitting in the garage takes on the car. i'd rather see it go to someone who will be driving it more than 4 times a month.

 

wait you sold your Jag or will be selling it
