Hello, I've just recently purchased a 98 XJR. I know the value and neccessity of being a forum member. I also have a 93 Cadillac Allante and that forum has saved my butt many a time. I really like the style and comfort of the XJR, and this 98 is my way of an inexpensive introduction to the car. I live in Southern Illinois (not much around here), so it's important to me to have help a click away. I'm grateful to everyone for sharing here and hope I can also contribute.

Welcome to the forum smith356,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

To keep your
introduction to the car inexpensive, be sure to check out info about plastic tensioners on the early V8's.

Follow Norri's link to the X308 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
