1,000 miles later....
No issues to report. The car seems to just run better and better the more I drive it. I noted that when I initially changed the fuel filter, what came out of the old one was a cloudy mess of old gas, and quite frankly, I was shocked that the car even ran at all on what was in the tanks! It definitely had a cold start issue where it would crank for a while before firing after it sat overnight, but that has seemed to abate itself with regular use. This weekend I'll be driving the car to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, about three hours away, so we'll see how she does on her first road excursion!

Did a little wrenching on the XJ today. After some researching on the beloved jag-lovers.org, I found out how to reset the O2 sensor light, as it's simply controlled by a mileage counter. In other words, the light doesn't illuminate on the fascia to indicate a failed sensor, rather it lights up at a certain mileage at which point it is merely suggested by Jaguar that the sensor be replaced. Being that the car is running sweetly as ever, I simply reset the light.
ReplyDeleteSecond little fix was to replace the mysteriously cracked interior rear view mirror with a good used one from Dave at everydayxj.com
Dave has several Series III cars that he breaks for spares and sells the parts incredibly reasonably, so do give him a ring if you're ever in need of bits at reasonable prices!
