Hi all and thank you for the opportunity to join this really informative forum.
Back in 1982 on honeymoon on the Isle of Wight (UK) I came across a beautiful Mk 2 2.4 Salon tasty belonged to an elderly widow and had just been left in her garage.
She agreed to sell it to me if I promised to look after it as it had been her husbands pride and joy.
I had that car for several years until our two daughters arrived and I was forced to sell it.
Then the usual ways of life got in the way, work raising children etc.
Having retired to Southern Spain I had recently the chance to purchase a late 2001 Xkr 4.0 ltr supercharged jaguar coupé. I jumped at this opportunity and she now sits happily on the drive and it's such a pleasure to be driving jaguars again.
The car is not perfect and there are just a couple of small issues to put right but that comes with the territory with these cars.
I have a cruise control issue but will post separately regarding done advice.
Thanks again.
I turn right onto E15 when I get down to Motril. Must try going left if we're ever allowed back on the roads of Europe!
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. You can also use the Europe Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/ to find other members in your region.
Thanks Graham.
I turn onto the E15 before you!
I'm in the Arboleas/Vera area.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Hoping to get some answers here in time... What are you driving?

Welcome back to the Jaguar world I love your car!
looking at your wheels make sure you have the valve stem adaptor.. i found out the hard way that you can't add air to these wheels w/o the special adaptor
Thank you for the tip.
My brother's got one but a convertible and told me about this.
It was one of the first things I checked. In fact there were two in a pouch in the glove box. I also bought a 12v compressor which makes checking and inflating much easier at home rather than annoy people at the petrol station while they wait to use the air line👍🏻
New jaguar after 36 year wait..
