Speaking of crabbing, I once was driving the rover S2a down the drive and hit a 1 foot deep hole , tore out the rear drver side spring hanger which was pretty badly rusted, opened the gate and started driving down the road, looked in the rear vison mirror to see that the rear of the ute was running over in the side of the road. Chopped off a box from the wreck and welded back in , as far as I am aware its still in action with the new owner.
Maybe everyone should own a series rover to help find out just how good the xj is.
Hope its not too big a problem, spend the money on a good little mig and maybe it will work out for you in the long run, plenty of good help on this site will get you through. Good luck and hope you are able to keep the Xj.
