    VW TDI?

    Well.....see that's the thing.....I have had my current '00 xj for eight years. I've done brakes twice, exhaust once, tires once, and miscellaneous fluids multiple times, and other than alignments and inspections, I have performed all of the work myself. Prior to this XJ, I had an '88 Pioneer...

    VW TDI?

    Hey ...thanks for the replies..... Yes.. n1ywb, I have heard plenty of horror stories about VW reliability.....But like you said... vegetable oil/biodiesel is an option. I would love to find an older Mercedes 300TD wagon, but living in a rust-prone area, I have not found one in reasonably good...

    VW TDI?

    Greetings all...... There is an '04 VW golf TDI for sale in my town and I'm really liking the idea of a 40+ MPG commuter car. I know fuel prices are down now ($1.98 a gallon for regular here), but I wonder how long it will last. Any TDI owners out there that can enlighten me on the...

    would any one be interested in Meet in Newport RI

    I seriously doubt it. The only reason I brought back this thread was to see if there were any NAXJA -er's from Aquidneck Island. I have counted (and waved to) six lifted xj's on the island in the last few months and was just curious to see if any were lurking here. :eyes:

    paint removal

    Hey thanks for the responses guys...It looks like I will be paying for a wet sand and buff. I tried the clay bar setup and it didn't work so hot. And no, I did not get a plate #. :flamemad:

    Forum User vs. NAXJA member

    Exactly....I have been lurking on this site for some years now and have finally become a member. This site has been a tremendous help in the maintenance of my 2000 XJ and I felt like it was about time I paid my dues.

    Turn signals going haywire...

    What year xj? Mine is a 2000 and I had the same issue. Turns out it was the turn-signal module which is under the dash to the left of the steering column. Not a big deal to replace.

    would any one be interested in Meet in Newport RI

    Sorry to drag up a dead thread but....I was just curious to know how many Aquidneck Island NAXJA er's there are. I see a few lifted xj's around and I am curious as to how many frequent this site. I need some inspiration/guidance on lifting/locking/gearing my rig and would be up for a meet and...

    paint removal

    Greetings all..... Some irresponsible house painter dropped a gallon of paint in the road in front of me, and I now have a beige-like color splattered all over my dark green XJ. It's on the paint, on the plastic, the weatherstripping, and the glass. I managed to get the paint off of the glass...
