Hi, I am a new Jaguar owner as from today, just bought me a XK8 convertible 1997.

I am looking forward to enjoying this car, and really hope for good weather.

I'm located in Oslo, Norway.

Wow!! What a beautiful ride. I have used the forum to track down some parts and found the people funny and helpful. Good luck to you! The car is a blast to drive.

 

Welcome Jacob67!


What a beautiful car and also a beautiful place to park your car! :-)


Enjoy the forum!


Cheers,

Thank you all for the warm welcome, I have added a signature as suggested.

The picture in my first post, is from the sales add, sorry to say: I didn't take that picture. Kudos to the former owner.

 

This is "Cream" colour interiour, right?

 

Jacob,

I think it is Ivory.

To be certain, check the Trim Code (arrowed in red in the photo) on the Manufacturer's label on the LH door pillar:



The 3-letter code gives the exact colour. This is NED (Ivory) from my 2005 XK8. If your code is different, post it back here and I'll look up the colour for you.

Thank you for helping, my code is NDR

 

Jacob,

You were right. NDR = Cream

Graham

 

Thank you for helping Graham, I need to update some plastic details.

 

Welcome Jacob67,
Beautiful Jaguar. Be sure and read all the sticky's on the XK8/XKR section of the forum.
Every time I see a beautiful car parked on a pier I always think of this:

 

Hi Fulton, please don't visualize my car being washed that way .

BTW, I hear some knocking noises in front of my car, might be the lower ball joint and/or the lover shock bushings. Hear it when hitting small bumps in the road. What do you think?

 

Welcome to Jaguar Forums Jacob67,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Sorry about the video
I have an unnatural fear of Piers, Clowns, and Parades.
While you are checking for the source of the clunk, check the upper shock mounts, those are a common failure.
