Wink Helping my dad tinker with his "new" XK8

Hello! New to this forum. My dad recently bought a 2000 XK8 Coupe. It's in OK shape but, while it wasn't abused, it wasn't loved. So we've done a few small projects on it, bought some <<gulp>> rather expensive but lovely replacement parts, and been having a good time sprucing her up before we have to put her away for the winter here in Maine. This forum is a fantastic resource, and we've already benefited from downloading the Electronic Parts Catalog and the JTIS.

Glad to be here!

Good for you helping out your dad like that!
Winter is the best time to work on a car if your work area is tolerable. That way it's all ready to drive when good weather comes.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome to the forum Babyaardvark,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

It looks like you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR 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.

You can also visit the USA North East Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/usa-north-east-me-nh-vt-ma-ri-ct-nj-ny-pa-35/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
