This is turning into YKYDAXJW part 2
AC is air conditioning lol but I got a weird poping sound coming from front left tire area when I hit bumps

Mine does that too, it's incredibly annoying, still haven't found the source. I think though that it might be the hatch not completely sealed, because the rubber bumpers are pretty dry rotted and worn out.

It'll do it at another stop sign down the street. As soon as it's past those 2 signs, it's fine the rest of the day.
That's a sign of a leaky wheel cylinder... checked your brake fluid lately?

Mine has this rattling, sounds a bit like a thick bolt loose in a hole moving around, it's a solid metal type noise.. coming from the transmission tunnel, I think. It does it when in gear and stopped, and I can feel it through the shifter (auto), goes away whenever the vehicle is in motion or it's in park and idling.

Mine just started doing this a week or so back:

At really slow speeds, there is a squeak and a "hump" from I think the left rear. Say, 10mph, it feels like a wheel is out of round almost. Hump, hump, hump, squeak, squeak, squeak. Hit 20mph and up and nothing. Its driving me crazy.

Occasionally my stereo (original) wont work... no sound. The display will work, and I can change the station. But it wont put out sound. I can sometimes remedy this by pushing in the sound **** and holding it there... and if I let it back out it usually goes mute again. And eventually usually when I hit a large bump, but not always a bump sometimes smooth as can be, my sound pops back on.

Mine blows back off my heater control valve and evaporates before it can collect enough to drip

I have the same pop click clunk with my door as the guy on the first page.

At 50 and 60 on the speedo, I get a vibration in the front and the seats go crazy. Not sure why women always want to "just go for a drive".

My passenger door never locks or unlocks all the way unless you use the key.

Every damn pair of my jeans/shorts have dots of rust stains just above the knees where they hit the rust collected from the door/rocker. Always forget I shouldnt lean across the xj to get something if I am standing outside.

Both mirrors flex in over 40mph and are worthless because the plastic clips have part of them broken.

The same side marker has been hit 3 times and broke 2 of those times, and I still don't know what it does.

I had more coolant leaking from the jug in the back, than I had to add every couple months in the first place.

If there is one thing on the 3 XJ's I've owned that works it is the heat... it will run you out of there!

You flush your heater core?

I get the gurgle from the ac
Click, pop sound from the driver door
bunch of rattles from bumpy roads
front drivers side speaker works once in a while
also the filling the tank with gas issue mentioned earlier is a problem for me too. It’s kind of embarrassing how long it takes.
