Hello From Edinburgh
I couldn't help it ....it was just sat there looking all forlorn and sad and lonely and nobody loved it. Anyway, I'm 500quid ( about 670dollars) lighter of pocket and now got a '97 XJ300 4.0 that wont charge and really needs repainted. Seems to go well when it starts though and it's lovely inside and surprisingly rust free for a Scottish example.

Welcome to the forum trampintransit,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
I can see you've already found your way to the X300 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham

Cool ..this thread seems to now have v=become rather too long for a 'neewbies - intro' thread doesn't it. I'll look elswhere on the forum of ask directly about tensioners n stuff. But certainly, my car is a 6 and the upper tensioners have been done so I'm hoping that's summat I don't need to worry about .

1997 was a model change year in the UK. Both the X300 six cylinder and the X308 V8 were marketed here.
X300 was available in both 3.2 and 4.0 litre versions. I had a 3.2 Sport and it was bullet proof for the 120k miles I put on it.
