Hello all My name is Harvey, right now I have a 2001 XK8, I bout it with the XKR grill already installed, its a black Beauty, and I call her Black Betty..bam a lam ...lol...
I used to own a 1989 Vanden Plas , was a burgundy color, another nice ride. I started looking into a forum as I can no longer afford running to the Jag dealer for every little thing.
I am in the process of moving to Texas from New York, the car has been in Texas under my moms care. The fuel pump went out some months ago, but as I got into town a few weeks ago I got it fixed, I have only had it running for a couple weeks when now they say the chain jumped and I might need a new engine. This has been a very hard month for me..
But hey, I'm hoping for the best a..gotta keep my head up.

 

Welcome Harvey,
Sounds nice, how about some pics when you get time. Enjoy the car and the forum,it's the best place to be.

Let's hope the chain didn't jump 2 teeth. That could be expensive.

Welcome to the forum Harvey,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Sorry to hear about the engine. I hope it's repairable.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech section with the engine issue so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Enjoy the forums.
