Just bought a damaged but beautiful XK8
Hi!
Just got a damaged Jaguar and I am hoping to find all kinds of info here...
This forum is especially important to me as I live in Mexico, and information on these cars here is both scarce and often wrong!
I am trying to find a PDF of the owners manual and service manual. Anyone have a live link? The one on the FAQ page wont work (for me) unless I am doing something wrong...
The crash damage on the car is the rear hub/ spindle which I will replace together with the brake lines and speed sensor cables. Again without any experience with the car and no manual I am a bit in the dark.
There is a black pump looking thing which appears at first glance to be attached to the radiator hanging down from the front drivers side of the car immediately behind the grill on the drivers side. It is also damaged/ broken. I was surprised to not find a part number and so have no idea what this is!
Lastly anyone have a link to a thread detailing the procedure for reconnecting a battery. The windows need to be reset (apparently) and I am sure there are a few other things some of you will know about!
I look forwrd to chatting on line with some of you soon, and if you need any info about Playa del Carmen area, I am a good source of info!
Best,
JEZ

Welcome to the forum, JEZ. Good start with an intro in the new member section. I suspect your problems accessing the goodies in the FAQ's are probably because you don't yet have full access. Get that post count beyond 10 and I suspect a moderator will be along shortly to upgrade your membership and then you can get at them.
