Default Greetings from New Orleans

New member, but I have had my 2000 XK8 about a year. It's my second rag top, and I kept my first, a Chrylser Lebaron. Quite different cars, but I enjoy them both. My XK8 is pretty much factory original, and aside from all the broken little plastic bits (like the cup holder), has been a very reliable car. It has 106k miles and I have a very short commute and hope to keep it for many years. For such a powerful car, I do find it a bit slow on the low end. Not that I want to drag race at evey stop light, but has anyone done any chip mods or tweaks to let this cat out of the bag?

Welcome to the forum Press,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow Norri's link to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information.
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
