Re: geometry
William........im not aware of any maintenance sheets for the 308. But i do have my geometry checked and adjusted locally with a laser machine at my local tyre depot.

Front suspension - replacement of bits
Finally sickened by the loss of 2 more front tyres due to uneven wear, I have ordered a kit from BritishParts for a replacement of bushes, ball joints, etc. A local garage, owned by a friend, will do the job. Joe, you mention a maintenance sheet, in answer to another member's question. Will this hel...

MP3 Player
Hi guys - I now have an excellent solution which I can recommend to everybody. Road Radio of Crawley fitted my XJ8 with an ICELINK FM ONE. The cost £100 installed and took one hour. Very neat installation with the cradle in the centre armrest and my MP3 sits in there also. The main gubbins is fitted...

Hi Pete and Joe - many thanks for following up on this one. Pete, my MP3 player is a Creative NOMAD jukebox Zen Extra - a few years old and inherited from a grandson. If this name means anything to you will it work with the Dice gizmo? Also, how does one get at the aerial coaxial cable - which I bel...

New reg.
My 3rd Jag. First was a 1949 Mk5/2.5ltr back in 1960; 2nd was an 1988 X300. I bought my 1997 X308 when it was 2 years old and have run it for 9 years. It is in continual use and I hope to keep it running until my kids drive in it to my funeral! Lovely car- bergundy body/beige hide - a real head turn...

MP3 Player
Is there anyone out there who is a technical whizz with the standard radio/tape installation as fitted to the first X308s'? I wish to use my MP3 player but there is no provision for a signal input socket. I am currently using one of those tape lookalikes which is plugged into the tape player. Howeve...

Tyre wear
Although I had two computerised geometry checks over a period of several months, the front tyres on my 1997 XJ8 were wearing badly and had to be replaced. The wear was on the inside of both tyres whilst the outside edges had plenty of tread left. A number of kind sources gave me suggestions but none...
