My name is Roy Shelor and I live in Tennessee USA. I aquired a 2001 Jaguar XK8 through a trade. I am very happy with this car. It's my first Jaguar and I find it interesting to say the least. I've read notes from this forum and have been able to fix several issues that gave the previous owner headaches. I have been a successful "shade tree" mechanic for some 43 years and I must say this forum is one of the more technical and friendly forms I've seen.

 

Hello, Roy,
Congratulations on your "new" Jaguar!
'Interesting' is a good way to describe a Jaguar. They're certainly different from Mercan cars. But as you know, mechanical principles are the same no matter the brand. Being a successful Shade Tree mechanic, you'll get on just fine with your cat.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Thank you ElinorB. I do agree the Jaguar is a different animal and after only having the car a few weeks I look forward to the adventure.

Thank you Graham. I will be visiting the other forums as this coming year will be a travel year for me and the 48 states have roads. I'm doing a lot of preventive maintenance for the for mentioned journey. Thanks again and I'm sure we will talk again.
