The 1990 xj and others of its model were fraught with self-inflicted problems. (Jaguar engineers/designers, either didn't know or didn't care about what they were doing); so, the results are well known but the overall style of the car still had its litheness of line that has always attracted so many admirers. The last year for this feline look was 2004. Since then, the xj has developed a portly look to accomodate the increasing girth of North Americans. Now, it's just another BIG car. Maybe if they could recapture sporting feline look of the past, and continue its present quality, things would look up>

Electrical Problem with Windows by madonnadj

We just yesterday purchased a XJ8 1999.
  
We had windows tinted. There was water dampness inside car from process.
  
On way home, one window automatically went down anf the steering wheel moved.
  
Returned and dealer said it would be okay when it dried out.
  
Today it is still doing these things.
  
Has damage been done? If not, what should or can be done?
  
Taking it back tomorrow to dealer.
  
Appreciate your direction.

hello! i have read several of your entries and i am so glad you guys are here to help us jag newbies. we purchased an '05 XJ8L a month ago with 34,000 miles. the car is absolutely gorgeous but we are hearing a cracking/creaking noise overhead around both driver and passenger doors. its not a constant noise, but loud enough that you can hear it over music playing quite loudly. has anyone experienced this annoying in your ear noise. i am taking my car to the dealer on friday, i would appreciate any experience you can share.

Welcome new Jag owner! Just some info that you will benefit from: Go to jag-lovers.com and post your question. You purchased an "X350" That is the Jag technical despription for your XJ. Go to the X300 forum which includes the X300 ('90 - '97), X308 ('98 - '03) and X350 ('04 to present) and you will have your question answered by a very technically inclined audience. Good luck! I use it all the time and have found so much useful info and answers to my questions there.

Note:You talked with the dealer and he said it
would be ok when it dried out? I left my window
down on the drive side and it rained and had the
about the same problem. I would open all windows about half way and put a fan in the car overnight. The windows half way
down will work best.

Thank you for the tip.
 
I returned it to the seller, and I believe he is going to replace the "mother board" just to be sure.
 
Can I assume you have had no lasting effects from the dampness?

Prices on XJ by topspin628
Sep 13, 2007 (7:10 pm)

The Jag boards here are dead. (I guess minus 40% in sales of XJ according to JD Powers is the cause). Anyway, I need to get some prices on the 07 and 08 VDP. Maybe the host can help me here but I don't understand the Edmunds TMV pricing of "what others are paying". It shows about a $700 discount on a car that I've been offered 13K off (07). How can I find out what the real market is for both a new one for both years?
Thanks

Note: First I would check for best dealer price and service.
The best price is not always best, and good dealer service is not easy found.
