I am no expert - relatively new to the DIY fixes myself. If you don't have one already, pick up a Haynes Manual for the XJ. You can find this at most bookstores or auto parts stores and it details all of the systems and components of the XJ. I will let the pros recommend how to fix these issues, but Haynes is a good place to start if you want to understand how the thing is supposed to work in the first place!
