New Member intro
I’m a proud new owner of my Grandfather-in-law’s 1989 XJ6 VP. I have read a couple forums and realized I need to refer to the model as an XJ40. He purchased the jag in 1990 and used it as a daily driver until 4 years ago. The car only left garage a couple times a year over the past 4 years when we were in town visiting. I believe there are roughly 136k miles on the car. He had the car serviced prior to me purchasing it.
I have driven the car 200 miles, I have had several electrical issues that stranded me around town but nothing to major that I couldn’t figure out. Most recently the car leaked out a decent amount of transmission oil, but I haven’t had an opportunity to climb underneath. I’m assuming the years from sitting followed by more frequent driving has allowed a dry rotted seal to leak. I have ordered a service/repair manual, and I’ll start searching the forums prior to spinning any wrenches.
