I drive it during the week, I nurse it back to health on the weekends, and it takes all my money. Sounds like marriage!
Kind of a dream come true, really; I've wanted a sporty Jag since seeing an E-type when I was a kid (like 50 years ago). Finally decided to pick up my XKR a few weeks ago as an X-Mas present to myself (yes, X-pun intended).
It had the timing chain tensioners done already, and during this holiday break I did the front upper strut bushings and brake pads. Today is rainy and I got misfires on cyl 3 and 4, so it's in limp home mode. [Sigh] I suppose time for new wires and may as well do the spark plugs. The beginning of a beautiful relationship indeed!
You folks are great; already learned a lot as a guest, and I expect to enjoy many more tech faqs as I keep this beauty alive. Hope I can help contribute too.
Cheers,
Rich

Hello, Rich,
A beautiful relationship indeed! All of us who drive cars more than 2 or 3 years old either Love our cars (as in the case of most members here) or are stuck in that relationship because it will cost too much to escape.
