New Member first ever forum for me, Just purchased my first Jaguar, a 1998 xj8 3.2 sport ,with a Jaguar

dealers F/S/H mint condition???or so i thought.

Prior to buying , I did a Experian check/ Checked all its paper work ,Gave it a good look over,Took it for

Long but mixed test drive,Then drove back from Essex with my prize! and a massive smile on my face ,

I thought i had done well.. i didnt even try knocking the price down it was a steal

On researching my Cat my heart slumpt to the floor to learn of the legarcy of the xj8..the legendary terminal faults

[TIMING TENSIONERS,NIKELSIL LINNINGS,WATER PUMPS,THROTTLE BODYS.] to mention just a few.. My dream car has turned into a nightmare. The must be some postives to owning a xj8 cant find to many at the moment..Printdrive
