Default New to Forum XK8 owner

My wife and I just bought a 99 XK8 triple Black. We are automotive repair shop owners and buy and sell used autos. Thank God for this invaluable Forum, if it were not for the forum most of these Jaguars would be scrap metal! I am in the process of repairing the ABS/Traction Control, rear sub repair, brake lamp switch fault/when cruise control is engaged, struts, bushings, and brakes. It seems like a buyers market for used Jaguars if you are mechanically inclined. Its almost a love hate relationship with the XK8 similar to my addiction with my 3rd Generation RX-7 collection!

Welcome to this friendly Forum.
I'm sure you know how to find the XK8 section by now and see you've posted in your Regional one.
There is an impressive knowledge base here - and it looks as if you're going to use most of it!

Welcome to the forum lilfreddie,

You seem to have a good selection of the regular XK8 faults there but all the facilities to fix them.

Enjoy the XK8 and the forum.

Graham
