Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
When it's not ok, your research here will likely have the answer.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Welcome aboard jag18y! That's a nice car. I just saw some pics of one. There's a forum here for your specific car in XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum .

If you put your car's details in your sig, people can easily help if you have any questions. Also, remember to add it to your garage so we can all ogle it.

Welcome to the forum,

A convertible - you must be getting a lot less rain on the other side of the Pennines!

Follow the link in tmurray's post to the XK8 section. Lots of very good information in the FAQ's, particularly on the known weaknesses in the early XK8's.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User ID button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Graham

I've moved you post about engine trouble to the XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum section and prefixed the thread title with '1996 XK8'. This is the place to post about XK8 issues.

Please take note of the requests to add vehicle details to your Signature. Members won't bother to trawl through previous posts to find out what vehicle you have.

Graham
