Hi, newbie to the forum. I bought a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 X350 about 6 months ago, it's a 3.5 Sport Premium in slate grey, 1 previous owner and only 55k miles. I love wafting about in it!
Couple of minor niggles, would appreciate any input...
First one is a slight vibration at the wheel at 50-60mph, I took it to F1Alloys in Mickle Trafford and they did a great job correcting one buckled wheel (which is now the spare) and rebalancing all of them. It's much better but still there a little bit, next step will be to check if the discs are warped I guess. Happens in drive or neutral, not noticeably worse when braking.
New headliner looks better anyhow, and smells a LOT better (previous owner was a smoker).
Third fault is the driver's seat heater doesn't work, but the passenger side does work. Maybe a loose connection; the previous owner had it set on easy access so the seat slid back every time he got in and out. Haven't investigated yet.
I can see you've already found your way 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.

Hello, Andrew,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar! I suppose a few niggles are to be expected after 15 years. I'm sure you'll get a handle on all of them before long.
