Default Intro a Must

Hello All: I own a 1988 XJ6. I've had it since 1989. Always wanted one and can remember as a kid my doctor driving his XKE (probably had it int he shop more than he drove it). I only have 130,000 miles on it and its been pampered. It's been restored once - OK twice but don't tell my wife. I've always loved the ride even after the air bags came out of the rear suspension. I live in Iowa now which is a perfect place to own a Jag (assuming your OK not driving it Dec - Mar). I've always been excited about driving 80 in 50 on winding roads (Hope there are no police reading this) Perhaps the only thing I dislike is the electrical system. I suppose I have to remember it's an '88. I don't do much work on it myself except interior repairs. The engine compartment is just too over my head. Thank you for accepting me into the group.

Welcome to the forum Iowabobg. I've moved your intro to its own thread vice on the end of another's intro.


I can see you've already found the technical section - be sure to check out the first few threads with How to's, DIY downloads, videos, etc.


You can also stop by the US Midwest regional section for local news/events:


USA Mid West - IL IN IA MI MN MO OH WI - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum


lastly recommend adding a signature to your profile (include model and year) by clicking the User CP link in the upper left. This will aid techs and other members in assisting you with any questions you may have


enjoy

Welcome to the forum iowabobg,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJ40 tech 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 info 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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
