Hi all,

I’m a total newbie to the Jag World so be nice.

So last weekend I decided I wanted a winter (will end up being a summer) project that needed a few things sorting, didn’t really want to go down the line of fully rebuilding something but something that I could work on at the weekend and save from the scrap man or breakers so this leads me to me buying……

2002 3.2L XJ8 Sport in silver 100,000 mile bit of history with black leather, It’s in fairly good condition body wise few bits on the wings starting to show but nothing that can’t be fixed but the main thing that needs to be sorted is the gearbox. There’s no forward drive but will select reverse no problem so this is one of the jobs I’ll be doing over the next month or so.

I have always liked the XJ8 and fancied a change and the price of these car at the moment with problems are giveaway prices, I understand they can be money pits to so I’m not wearing blinkers and think all this could be a quick/easy fix, but all that aside the Jag scene looks interesting so hopefully make some new friends.

Soon as the cars back at my house I will upload some pics.

Thanks
Mike
