New XJ8 owner - a few questions !
Discussion
Hi
I have had a good read of this forum and would like to thank all that have posted - there is some great Jaguar info on here! Cheers all...
I have recently purchased a lovely black late 2001 XJ8 Sport with black leather and 18" Milan wheels, and am very happy with my purchase! It is my first Jag - and I suspect it wont be my last...
However - I do have a couple of questions to ask... so here goes
1..Can anybody recommend somewhere to get the auto box oil and filter changed in the Cheshire area please..I am between Warrington and Chester if that helps! and
2..The reversing aid system does not function, however I get no warning tones when selecting reverse and wondered whether this is a fault or if the system has been 'disabled' in some way.
I have traced the wiring and found what I think is the control module (in the boot fuse / relay box) and it is connected up. The sensors make no noise at all when reverse is selected.
I was thinking (or maybe hoping) a fuse? But they all appear intact in the boot fuse box..am I looking in the right place ? I cannot find a specific fuse mentioned in the vehicle care handbook for the reversing system - could anyone tell me where it is please ? Or suggest any other troubleshooting tips ?
Many thanks

Hi,
I can recommend an independant called Sports and Classic in Knutsford. 01565 621311.
Ask for Mike and tell him Jeremy put you in touch.
I have used him for several years now. He specialises in Porsche and Ferrari but is also Jaguar trained and very straight up. He is also good on price.
I run a 98 XJR and he has been very thorough with the work. He also will enjoy taking the p*ss out of your Jaguar as it's not a Porsche, funny thing is he is restoring his own Jaguar.....
You will not go wrong dealing with this guy.
