Default New Jag owner in Calgary - 2001 XKR convertible

Howdy. I just bought my first Jaguar, a 2001 XKR convertible. I've always loved British sports cars, and the XKR was my dream car when it came out, so when I found this car for sale I had to buy it. It has 100,000 kms and it's in very good stock shape. I've had to replace the rear active shocks, and the front bushings I had replaced with Powerflex urethanes. I've also replaced several light bulbs. The shocks were pricey, but I've found an excellent independent mechanic who specializes in British cars. I'm super happy. It's a gorgeous automobile.

Welcome to the forum Silver_Fox,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum 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 information on regular issues.

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.

You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/canada-73/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
