Hello all, I'm currently looking into my first Jag. It's going to be our family runabout (I say that loosely) but as I can't do boring cars I would like to get a Jag. I'm mostly a fan of the old Xj series (blame my neighbour for having them in the 80s and 90s when I was growing up) and I think the period 2003-2009 X350 is probably best for our needs as I would like to fix an ISOFIX baby-seat in the back, so from what I have read that rules out the X300 series sadly as that's my preference. Unless the X300 can have ISOFIX retrofitted by Jag? (if so I'd go XJR) Driven 2 Jags in my life (tested) 2016 XJ nice but I preferred the look of the 2005 XJ8, drove that just before Christmas and it was great, so relaxing and enough power to make me smile. I don't need this Jag to be 'fast' just have enough to be a Jag, looking at petrol only, XJ6, XJ8, maybe the XJR but that's probably more than I want to spend right now. Probably max £11K but ideally around £8K. Getting a good car is most important. Is the XJ6 fast enough or is it a bit slow? What do you recommend for me? Thanks.

Thanks again Julie Tom

I’d be very surprised if it was the column. More likely to be steering fluid or the steering joints.

The cigarette lighter socket certainly is not live in my S Type when the ignition is turned off. Suggest a very simple/cheap way, if no electrician available to test the circuit, is plug in a cheap USB/cigarette lighter connection. and see if that is live with the ignition turned off. Even simpler would be to try the Cigarette lighter with the ignition turned off. Good luck and Best wishes, John.

Thank you Julie, I certainly am enjoying my Jag. Here are a couple of pictures....
