Man you 308 guys really seem to be struggling... At least you didn’t buy a 7-Series.

LOL, we are dealing with a relatively complex, high priced, machine from nearly 20 years ago, that was built with technology that is 30+ years old, with well-known foibles and design faults................. only people with masochistic tendencies would consider such an undertaking, but the sensual lines of the "last of the true Jaguars" is so seductive that we are reeled in hook, line and sinker.

We can only think of ourselves as devoted custodians of a dying breed of classic automobile!

Yeah, these cars are really nice once properly maintained and everything is running smooth.

I know what you mean by the bmw 7 series. The seal to nowhere..... what a b*%#ch to replace! I did upper timing chain cover reseal to. Fortunately that was only one 750LI that I worked on and never again!
