Picked up the new car for the wife today. Its a quartz metallic 03 XJR. Spent much of the afternoon cleaning the inside, conditioning the leather and putting a good coat of wax on it. Tomorrow is an oil change and setting the memory stuff. Anybody know where the oil cooler would be if it is fitted as I don't know if it has one or not and of course that changes the capacity by a quart. Also, the rear pass side door actuator doesn't work. I'm assuming it is probably the motor but wanted to get a second opinion before I tear into it. There's an ebay seller in the UK that has 4 of 'em for thia door for like $20 plus shipping. Of course its used but that's a whole lot cheaper than a new one or any of the US sellers. Would rather buy the part and have it here when I take the door off unless someone says that the wiring or brain is likely to fail.

Car drives great btw but I do prefer the X type or TVR around town. On the highway though the XJR really excels. Definately the biggest car I've ever owned (my old F-250 doesn't count) so it is taking a little getting used to for parking!

 

congrats man, great 2nd...sorry, 4th car!

Not too sure about the door though...are you talking the door lock mechanism?

 

Yeah, the door lock mechanism isn't working. I'm assuming it is that part but before I ordered one wanted some other thoughts. Fingers are too fat for my netbook!

 

Added some pics of it if anyone is interested.

new car looks great!

 

Benebob - I read your post and went out and looked to see if there was anything missing in my garage. I must say you have excellent taste in Jags

 

Great looking car, enjoy the ride!

 

Who says Jags can't be work horses? Two Jags and one is a winter beater and the other is a tow vehicle. Love it.

 

sorry I can't help benebob....nice ride though

 

Beautiful car - congrats. I back in my XJ8L to make things easier... and park far away from any car under $50K.

 

Congrats, that's a nice color .Enjoy your new ride
