My wife and I purchased our 2002 XK8 convertible (a beautiful Zircon metallic blue with dark blue top) about 3 months ago. Show room shape with only 32K miles (35K now). Just had its first visit to the local Jag specialist for new front brakes and to replace the hydraulic line to the convertible top latch (ouch!). Always lusted after the E-types when I was little -- the XK8 scratches that itch with a lot of the style and (somewhat) more practicality. This Forum is great, and helped me out when I was searching for our car!

Thanks Jim and everyone. I did review the hydraulic line issue on the Forum before committing to the replacement, and it turned out that the old line had been "patched" previously and had split just above the patch.

I've added a picture to my profile, am not sure if that is the correct way for it to show up when I post?

Thanks, Doug
