Default Just drove my '04 XJ8 home...

and I love it. Absolutely love it. I do have some issues. No Nav disk, but am downloading a copy from one of the post. The leather on steering wheel showing wear. Slight vibration while driving, possibly tires need to be balanced. Occasional hard shift from transmission. Will have this rechecked, as I had a Jaguar dealership ckeck it before purchase. They didn't find anything.

Don't you just love it? My 350 is my favorite....what a performer! Color, pics soon?

Keep posting about the nav disc. I'd like to know what/where you're downloading. I'd like to updrgade to the newer v. with the Jaguar clock, but all that I've read said there are challenged with making copies, and at the current price v content (maps are supposed to be hopelessly inferior), not worth buying.

There are TSBs about the trans. If you've frequenting a dealership, they'll match up a service o your symptom.

Best,

I do love it. Drove it to work this morning. Excellent drive. All those old bumps in the road are now smooth. I did download the NAV DVD, and the Nav seems to work fine. There is a post with the download, it is in about 17 parts though. Not sure if it is latest version or not I think 2009 version. Do a search in the forum for navigation, it was the 2nd one I think.

The dealer won't do anything on the vibration. I feel it a little too, but the dealer does not. Perhaps it's the big wheel tire combo is just like this? First car like this I have owned.

Can you clean the leather up someo on the steering wheel?
