Talking Just Purchased: 2000 XJ8 . . .

...well I "shook-hands" on the deal and will pick her up tomorrow.

This will be my first Jag and look forward to new chapter in my life. Its a red beauty with 121k. She was owned by one person with all service and work documented. I gave her a test drive today and it was amazing.

So, if there are any owners of this year of model please enlighten me with any "need to know's". I'll be very appreciative of your advice and will soak it up like a sponge.

I can't wait to call myself a Jag owner tomorrow. . .

Thanks, I will definitely take a look into them. I herd the caused some nasty engine failures if the factory tensioners were not replaced. . .

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome (and the upgrade jim),

Since the belt tensioners are a common issue for '99-'00 xj series, what should I specifically look for and listen to during the engine start-up and idle??
