Anyone want a stripped X100 body shell? Quite rusty but could be useful for something...
Hello everyone, A couple of friends and I bought an XK8 as a bit of a gamble - it had a tidy set of Detroit wheels on it and the asking price was less than the value of the wheels so we figured we couldn't lose. Once we got the car onto a lift it soon became clear that it was past salvation due to c...

Replacing a couple of X100 headlinings with Timelapse video...
Hello all, I've not been posting much recently, but wanted to share my two most recent X100 jobs: replacing the headlining in my own car (a 2003 XK8 4.2 with black leather interior) and also the one in my dad's car (a 2001 XK8 with light coloured interior). My car's headlining was originally grey in...

Infotainment system does not recognise CD changer or phone..
Hi all, I'm hoping someone may have an insight that will enable me to get my X-Type's CD changer and phone to work. I've Googled various search terms and checked many Jaguar forums, but can't find a definitive answer, or anybody with exactly the same issue as me. The car is a 2004 2.0D Estate, and t...

New TWR 600bhp V12 XJS. Can anyone lend me £225k?
What do you think of this reimagination of our favourite car? https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/jaguar-xjs-reborn-600bhp-carbon-body-and-manual-gearbox I love the back end view - those XJ-S (rather than XJS) rear light clusters look gorgeous. I bet they're not putting 600bhp through a Getr...

Re: Bulb failure lamp problem solved
Nice one! I've had 3 XJ-Ss now and only one of them (my current one) has ever had a working bulb failure system.
How did the MoT go?

Anyone recognise this car?
Hello everyone, I got into conversation with a fellow XK8 enthusiast who is rebuilding a crashed and written off convertible X100 which came through the Synetiq auction just before Christmas. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53535620733_ba134c36a7_c.jpg It's sporting a JEC sticker so I said I'd m...

A couple of interesting XJSs I've spotted for sale...
This barn-find 1991 4.0 manual caught my eye enough for me to go and take a look at it. Not to buy it, you understand, but more to see what storage had done to it: https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auctions/2625-27-Jan-2024/4490~2-1991-jaguar-xj-s-40-manual I had hoped that it might be a simpl...

Re: Would you buy this car....?
Hi Dave - thanks for the feedback! Yes, my YouTube content is posted for eternity. And people.can just search for it like anything else if they don't have the direct link. I don't mind writing the job up for the mag if that would be useful. It's a fault that has pretty serious implications (i.e. if ...

Re: Would you buy this car....?
Hi Andy, Thanks for the message and a belated happy 2024 to you and yours! Progress has been a bit slow due to us all being Ill for most of December, the cold weather and also, regrettably, work. However, there is good news - I had time today to fix the bonnet issue. I'll probably post about it sepa...
Re: YouTube
One of the possible locations, which many will recognise, the main runway of RAF Stoney Cross (as was) It would be great if anyone who has an interest in either the airfields or the forest in general gets in touch with me and would like to be involved. Hi Alan, I recognised the old runway at Stoney...

Re: Would you buy this car....?
Sounds like you had my perfect X Type back in 2009, David! Those late Estates are really purposeful-looking cars, and as you say, really practical. I think I've worked out the issue affecting the bonnet - a bit of reading and Googling suggests that the cable on my car needs to be replaced. Apparentl...

Re: Would you buy this car....?
Thanks for the positive feedback, Alan - I think it is definitely a good car for £770, barring any nasty surprises of course. The walk-around video is here: https://youtu.be/q13k99IpWtw?si=FCxMOt_Ikf18dGZD The two main questions that I have initially are: 1. What's going on with the bonnet? - it's a...

Re: Would you buy this car....?
Thanks for all the comments chaps. It's no problem to write up the X Type story for the mag. That reminds me, I need to write an update on the XK8's progress, which has been steady over the past few months. I'll add more to this thread when I get the car, and hopefully those of you who are more in t...
