Default Another BIG Thank You...

Leaking anti-freeze...quick search on forum...easy diagnosis...cheap parts locate (thermostat housing) and quick local mechanic fix...holy crap. Back on the road in 24 hours.

A Big Thank You...

To the very attentive and polite Moderators for maintaining forum decorum and the invaluable stickies...

To the selfless Jag Techs who after working all day on these Cats manage to answer our Newbie questions...

To all the DIY mechanics who make the process understandable for the us non-DIYs who can then guide our favorite local mechanics to breeze though a diagnosis and fix...

Amazing bunch. You make owning this work of art affordable and enjoyable. Thank you.

Sorry to hear about your issues, but glad that this forum and the great techs, regular DIY'ers and members have helped you to get back on the road quickly and cheaply.

Thumbs up Me To!

Same sentiment here. Just got my Jag back today from an oil change, and I was thinking on the way home how it's in the best shape it's ever been in the 4+ years I've owned it. No stubborn warning/caution lights, no leaks, and all compenents working flawlessly.

ALL issues have been resolved since I've come on this forum several months ago. And the best part is, I enjoy the car so much more now than I did a year ago. And that really is priceless.

So I'd like to add my thanks to all of you who have helped me as well. And you know who you are! haha

I have owned dozens of cars and been a member of many an enthusiasts' forum, but this one is right up there in first place. The best thing is, I have yet to encounter any futile arguing - a nice change from certain BMW and VW boards I used to frequent! Come to think of it, that's one of the reasons I went for an altogether classier marque this time.

It's a nice change from MOST forums.

TY members and staff! This place is helpful and friendly, and have yet to see a troll. Grats!

Thanks , I have saved myself so much $ and agro by virtues of the members posts.
I have a 99 XK8 and an 96 x300.
Where else are going to find the data on having a 15 year old radio repaired (and not get ripped off)
The how to on the timing tensioners on my XK8.
The only place that everyone understands the Jaguar love/hate quirk and the smile that it bring to your face when is just purring along...

Thx again
Alan

We all out to have a big Jag get-together! There seems to be a lot of us in the Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina area. Maybe this summer we could all meet up in western North Carolina for a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, or a drive through Smokey Mountain National Park.

Great idea Rev. We really need to get a mid-Atlantic regional special interest group off the ground.
