Default Just bought my first jaguar

Hi,
I just returned home to Seattle area after picking up my newly purchased 1997 xk8 convertible in Phoenix. Drove it home and on the way the pulley for the serpentine belt broke. Luckily we were right outside of Rancho Mirage and were able to get. AAA to tow us to Desert European Motors they took good care of us and lent us a brand new xk8 with 50 miles on it over the weekend till the parts they needed came in. The service manager was named Chad. Great dealer ship and got us back on the ride.
Now we want to give the j some tender care and put her back to showroom condition. So this forum is great in finding odd stock numbers for some of those cosmetic parts. I have already seen the benefits.
I have always been a Mercedes car owner and now made the leap to Jaguar one thing is you don't see the XK8 very often like you see the SL.
Thanks for helping me out I am sure you will see me with a lot of questions

I hope your experience with the XK8 is all positive from now on.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
