Intro Post for 1st Time Owner of 2004 Jaguar XJ8 (X350)
Greetings Fellow Jaguar Owners (cool to say that),
I bought my 1st Jaguar in October 2021 - a mint condition 2004 Jaguar XJ8 (X350) with 114,000 miles on it. I love it! I live in rural Missouri, USA, not far from Rolla and Fort Leonard Wood (US Army) where I work as an Engineer. I joined a Facebook Jaguar Owner's Group, and have enjoyed seeing more beautiful Jaguars on it, along with the stories of the new owners. I joined this Forum to research the only problem I've found so far on my new car.
So far as I know, there is only one thing wrong with my Jag, and even it didn't show itself until the first sub-freezing day of winter - an Air Suspension Fault - Vehicle Too Low error that first appeared as Yellow, but then went to Red. (I've already searched and read many of the threads in the appropriate Forum, and personally believe I just need to replace the desiccant in the dryer, which I saw might still be available in a "per use" quantity from a fellow forum member - but I'm still digging through all the threads on the problem before posting a new thread (as per the rules). BTW, I haven't yet found a thread that shows the replacement process for the desiccant, so if someone could point me in the right direction, you might save me some additional searching).
I'm happy to be a member of this Forum, and am particularly impressed by high level of expertise evident in the threads I've read so far.

P.S. I couldn't figure out how to make the pix smaller size. Sorry about that.
Beautiful!
Looks awesome from the front.
Clean interior.

The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
