Hi there... I'm a longtime Jaguar owner, with a XK150 (and a '94 XJ12, which I sold years ago), but I just jumped back into the modern-pool with a 2003 XK8 that shows 84,000 miles on the odometer. Definitely a dream car for me.
Right now, I'm working out some issues with the car, as it sat unused for roughly 3 years (ugh) and it has the expected maladies, including fuel delivery problem(s) and a leaking hydraulic something-or-other in the front header area of the convertible top (haven't gotten a chance to examine that yet). Also, the car has a few front-end suspension issues (the usual suspects) but otherwise, WOW. I'm fortunate in that I picked the car up relatively cheaply in anticipation of these problems, so it's just a matter of running down the issues and making the repairs.
Just as an aside, I've already referenced this forum several times in my pre-purchase inspection, diagnosing an oil leak, and replacing the spark plugs... It's wonderful to have so many knowledgeable people contributing! - Evan
It sounds like 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.
