Howdy all,
I just recently purchased a 1999 XJR. Anthracite over oatmeal. Overall in nice shape with 87k miles, but the previous owner bodged quite a few things that I'm making right.

I have owned primarily german cars and am no stranger to turning wrenches, but these cars are a bit different, so I'm sure I'll have questions.

Thanks.

Hello,
Congratulations on your First Jaguar! 87k miles on a modern engine is just now well loosened up and broken in.
I've always found that the fun part of any new-to-me car is the making of things right that previous owners messed up. It's sort of a Bonding Experience. After that you can DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF with confidence!

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

thanks all, appreciate the warm welcome.

Already working through some previous owner issues and have consulted the x308 forum.
