Default Hello Fellow Jag Lovers!

Hello!
My name is Matt, and I'm from California, USA, if you didn't notice from my username. I am 16 years old, and have a champagne color 06 XJ8L Vanden Plas, with nav and Bluetooth. So far less than 30,000 miles on it, and no hiccups thankfully. Thought Id drop by the forums and get to know you fellow car lovers! So far, I've done all the maintenance myself: brakes, rotors, oil changes, transmission service, brake bleeding, and air filter replacement. I am thinking of adding the rear seat dvd players, Jaguar Voice, Brembo brakes, CAI, California legal chipping, magna flow exhaust, and possibly getting new rims! I bought the car from my parents for $10,000 and by getting solid grades. I wanted to pay for it all, but my parents would only take 10k. I work daily at a doctors office, and now that I got the car, it's time to save for college

Any and all advice or comments are greatly appreciated, and thank you for reading! Photos will be coming soon, after a thorough detail wash.

Matt

Holy cow - what a first car to have, Matt! Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Hard work and a little elbow grease definitely do pay off, both in life and in maintaining these excellent vehicles. Keep up the good work!
cheers,
Scott

Welcome to the forum Matt,

Congratulations on the determination needed to get an XJ8L as your first car and the grades that made it possible.

Follow Norri's link to the X350 tech section for help, advice and information.

Don't forget the pics.
