Default Hi everyone, new member

Hi all, I've just joined the forum after browsing for a week or so. What a fantastic set of members and contributions there are. I'm about to take ownership of a 2010 XKR, trading in my Porsche Macan Diesel S feeling that I needed more excitement.
I've previously owned a 4.2 XK 2006 and what a fantastic car that was. It was reluctantly sold in 2010 to raise funds for a house project and since then I've been through a couple of Mercedes (meh!), a Lexus hybrid (yawn!) and lastly the Porsche (actually pretty good) but the itch to get back into an XK never went away.
I look forward to getting to know any local owners.
Chris

Welcome to the forums Chris,

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/xk-xkr-x150-33/ to the X150 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 UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ 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

I've been reading the posts about installing the reversing camera to the 2010 model and as I understand it a modified SDD is required. Does anyone know of someone in S England who has the software to activate the reverse camera?
