Default 2000 XK8 - New member

Hi guys,

As a 22 year old with his 1.2 Corsa, I took a big leap straight to one of my dream cars. 3 years on and more recently it's been like an old dog that keeps fouling the carpet but I love it so much there's no way I'll part with it. I use it as my daily driver for work and at one point was racking up 130 miles a day, so have to forgive her for occasionally wanting attention. I love the handling and style of the XK8 and have been on numerous long trips into Europe - 4 fully grown men to Bruges in February, it can be done.

I have been a casual viewer of the Jaguar forums but am now in need of the sound advice I see the members here providing on a daily basis.

Cheers.

Welcome to the forum scottyates,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found the X308 tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
