welcome to the forum Darren, hope we can help
Great to have you here

There's usually plenty going on in most sections, most of the time.

You might find the off topic good for fun, maybe check out the mug shot thread and add yours?
Don't forget the regional section and also the detailing section is a must.

Some good guys and great techs, top vendors and more to come....all good

In the meantime I've upgraded you manually to full forum access so you can better veiw the site

Hey Nevette,

I have a 2000 XK8, topaz in color. with approx. 72K miles on it; I got her with 67K on it. It runs great but was reading about the few weak points in design and construction of the car. I called my local dealership, he told the car went through some 29 warranty issues, one the hyd. hoses for the top. My first issue to address will be the tensioners. That same dealer quoted me $6.2K to do them (w/ chains) but I found a independant who has 30+ years certified Jag. experience over in Memphis (3 hour drive for me) and estimated $2.3K instead; just trying to get the time to run over.
I've been reading along on the forum for a couple of months now and decide to join-in...

Take Care,
Darren

Hello Darren and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
