OK, this is the fourth XJ I have owned. Bought this a about four and a half years ago with 196K on it.

Did a little work. Hit 300K today! Running real well. Original engine. Rebuilt trans. All the hanging stuff on the engine replaced once or twice. Suspension replaced.

Interior nice.

I'm more interested in the trip odometer. Do you reset it at each fill-up? I filled up at 320 this morning and though that was great.
