Default New guy Here

Hello all, coming from a S500 Benz (wife kept asking to have it), and I am looking at 1997-2004 XJ8. I have found a 2004 XJR that needs the o2's and the knock sensor replaced (that sounds like a labor insensive job, but I would try and do it myself.

I found a 1997 that needs knock sensor replaced
I found a 2002 that needs the fuel pump replaced
I am not afraid doing the repairs myself.

I would love to hear feedback from some veteran group members!

Welcome to the Forums.

I will leave answers to members in your market.

Have a read of the "stickies" at the top of the XJ8/XJR (X308) Tech Section, there is so much in there about these cars.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forums gthmcty1,

Although it may sound strange, the KS replacement is a more straightworward job than a fuel pump. However, plenty of threads on both topics in our model forums.

Your year range covers two models of XJ8 - the steel bodied X308 (1997 - 2003) and the aluminium bodied X350 (2003 - 2009).

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/ to the X308 forum and this one https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-x350-x358-28/ to the X350 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' threads at the top of each are a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-western-38/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums and the search for your Jaguar.

Graham
