Default Hello from BC Canada

Greetings to all. My name is Bill, and I am a retired mech. eng.,living in Abbotsford, BC, Canada. I recently purchased a 2002 XKR convertible. I should probably have walked away when I saw the Carfax Report but there was something about the car that drew me. It had been bruised and battered in a number of collisions, had multiple owners, and from the state of the engine oil, had been badly neglected. But still... it needed help and I could not leave it.
Thanks to the sage advice and guidance received from various articles on your site, the daunting task has turned into an exciting adventure. 10,000 questions to follow.
Cheers, Bill

Welcome to the forums Bill,

Good to have you with us.

It sounds like you've already found the relevant model forum but if not, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/ to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the Canada Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/canada-73/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
