Bucket wish fulfillment, I finally got a Jaguar convertible. 2002 XK8 in beautiful shape. Am currently looking for chrome wheels if anyone has any offers/suggestions. Staggered wheels, 2 8x18 and 2 9x18.

Hey Guys, thanks for the welcomes and the info. I have a "newbie" question that needs an answer. My gear shift knob is cracked and I have a replacement but the old one seems"reluctant" to unscrew. There is no set screw to hold it in place. Do I just need more muscle or is there some trick to getting it off?
Thaks for any advice you can offer.

Default Thanks, Jim.

I'm not much for computers but I'm trying to figure out the rules and options.
I've uploaded information on my XK8 and a photo but I'm not sure if they in the right location. I'll catch on eventually.

Rob,

Your vehicle details are now showing in your Signature but no photo. The usual reason for problems uploading Signature photos is exceeding the allowed size limits.

The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 100 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller).

Graham

I can see you have a profile photo .........



........... but not a Signature photo.

Did you want to use this one as your Signature photo?
