hi all, i have had my 2005 xk8 for 7 years now. i bought 6 months old and saved a ton of money. i have 43000 miles on it and just now starting to have a few issues with it. of course after the warranty has expired. started reading the forum yesterday and thought it was a great idea to join.

Welcome to the forum Jagjer,

Good to have you with us.
I've moved you to your own thread and I see you found the XK8/R section already.

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Welcome to the forum,

i see you've already found your way to XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum section. You'll find plenty of help and advice from a friendly and active group of members there.

2005 - is that a Victory Edition?

Graham

i am in the process of replacing my hydraulic lines for the top latch. it is great to find so much useful info in one place. i,ve got the interior removed and access to the lines in clear sight. just have to order the new hoses and wait for them to come in

Good idea. The green shower cleanup could take longer than the hose refit!
