New member, longtime lurker: 05 XJ8L
Hey all,
Been following the site for the past few years as a reference for my 2005 XJ8L, and figured it was time to introduce myself.
My name’s Matt, and the above is my first Jag - got it primarily as a commuter back when I had my Z06, as the Vette was murder on the roads we have in Tucson.
Longtime gear head and wrench - raced off-road for a while, then sportbikes. Now my racing is of the pedal variety. Was a helicopter crew chief for about ten years as well, so working on cars was just a continuation.
Anyhow, thanks for the great collection of information here - it’s been helpful as I’ve tackled a couple of the common gremlins. Pic of the car below, as well as my mugshot.
Best,
Matt

Welcome to the forums Matt,
Good to have you with us.
As a long timer lurker, you'll not need a lnk from me to the X350 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 information on regular issues. You can also use the US Southwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-southwest-37/ to find other members in your region.
Please 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

Thanks for the warm welcome all.
Signature updated. Over the years I’ve owned, raced and wrenched on a number of cars, motorcycles and now bicycles, so if there’s one area I might be useful it’s there. If any of you happen to own an Apache helicopter, I also was a crew chief for 10 years, so I’m also available to help you with whatever trouble you’re having there, lol.
Aside from that, I’m the division COO of a regional commercial insurance brokerage, so if you have any questions there I’d be happy to share some insight.
Thanks again, and happy Monday.
