Hi All,
If they put a man on the moon 40 years ago, there must be some way of bluetoothing a phone to a magic box that plugs into the phone connector hidden away in my centre console.....any thoughts?

hi joe,
thank you for your reply.....
as to the tyres, i gave them a good looking over, barely had the hairs worn off them and dead clean everywhere so i chanced it....

Hi all, i got my xj8 a couple of years ago now and have always loved the car. my only musts were a wood wheel and celtic wheels. when i got the car with very low milage the whole thing was mint, but with one thing i noticed straight away.......wait for it...... the wood gear knob did not match the w...

i am an electrician and my work is full of little "fiddles" just like cars i guess.
i got my baby back last night with a new mot and will consider my options. will probably go to a specialist as i do not have much time these days.....

hi Joe got my new MOT tonight.... I asked my man about the tensioner job but he declined. says if is anything like the wheel bearings it will age him :) joking aside he declined, saying that these jobs are a learning curve and a guy who has done it before will do her three times quicker. so now, i a...

Oh Yes, I'm back!

drove home in my beautiful double wheel bearing transplant 8 with nice shiny new MOT in hand......then came home and taxed it
I can jump to new highs now as I am considerably lighter.....

now it is for the tensioner thingies

hi,

cheers joe
will look into it

hi i have a lovely 98 xj8 with 36k on the clock. i got her with 26k last year and she has served me admirably. in a year she has cost me a headlight bulb and truly is wonderful :D she even does over 30mpg on the run which is awsome,,,,,,, anyway before i get carried away, i deliberately missed the d...

hi joe ill try that, you could be right. i sort of hoped that a forum member had changed his chromy grill for a sport or xjr one and had a pristine chrome one in the shed allbeit covered in cobwebs :D anyways, my baby is in on tuesday to have its front wheel bearings replaced and a brand new mot iss...

hi,
i have a standard 98 xj8 (x308) with a chrome grill with sort of blackish/greyish rods/bars in it.
i think that jaguar sovereigns of the era have the same grill, but all chrome.

can anyone confirm this and if so has anyone got one knocking about for me to buy?

best wishes

top marks BB when i went for the mot last august shortly after getting her and the mot man said he had never seen anything quite like it, shiny nuts and bolts etc, this year however, one rumbling wheel bearing and one with an advisory bit of play..... :shock: the jag tech guy on here says my car has...

thank you all

by the way brake buster, you must be the same BB as "the other place"???

wow a stunning car, it doesnt really matter what you paid as it is special in its own right... i bought my 98 xj8 a year ago with 26000 on the clock-got 36000 now!-and i thought that was the limit for low milage 8) that said, i couldnt look at S689 UEG and got LNZ 7902 off ebay for £50 to finish her...
