Welcome to the forum Laurence,

Glad to have you with us and I also hope there is not too much more shaking for you.

 

Welcome to the forum!

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

 

My car is detailed right under my name but if you want it also under my signature, I'll do that!
I have read the rules and many more posts already. All so interesting. I have made some posts and will sure be happy if I get some reply.
This forum is awesome!

 

I took the liberty to view your posts;
As for the type fuel I use the middle of the road it seems to provide the performance and starting reliability I am accustom to. Fuel additives are different from one fuel company to another and because of that your car will respond differently. Each car is different and the driving and reliability is in your corner. Only you will know what your car will respond to.

As for an update for your Navigation DVD I would contact your Jaguar Dealership first. I know that updated for the early xk8 is nonexistent. I hope this helps!

 

Welcome Laurence. Lovin' the mug shot.

 

Gus,

Thank you very much for your feedback.
I noticed when I first rode her, she was a bit sluggish, not as fast to respond on start up compared to my 2.3l Honda. I gave that to the heavier weight. It could be the fuel. I'll have to retest the difference.
I am slowly getting used to her and she is feeling a bit more swift, or may be it's only me being more confident. Her and I is still a very early story, I'm enjoying it.
I know she's the lowest end of the brand but heck! a Jag is a Jag and one must start somewhere.. .

Would be so nice to get this DVD, I'd fit the look much better peeping on my screen rather than pulling out my teared and used up paper map!
I'll update you if I manage to source one of those.. .

Don,
Thanks.. . ;P
