Default Hello all, I just bought a '00 XJ8

Hello everyone, new to this forum. I just purchased a really nice and clean '00 XJ8 with 86k miles. It seems to run and drive just perfect. No leaks or anything so far (except it chimes once in a while after I take the key out, I think it is a faulty tilt or steering lock). This is the 3rd Jaguar I have owned. I had an '87 XJ6 (which I never sold that car, it was beautiful!) and an '05 S Type. I will ad photos when I have them.

Welcome my00xj8:
And congratulations - you've purchased an excellent car! But, given your Jag history, you already know that. Enjoy the forum. You will have a lot to offer.
Cheers,
Scott

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Default Thank you

Thank you for the warm reception. I love my new car! It's the first V8 Jaguar I've had and it's great. First thing I would like to do is add 18" XJR wheels and new tires. Someday also put in new struts all around to make it handle just that much better.
I will ad my car info to my signature if I can figure out how to do it .
Thanks again!
