Hi Everyone

My name is Chris and I have joined the forum today. I live just south of Worcester and have a fairly ancient blue XK8 which needs an increasing amount of TLC (and money) to keep her going.

My other vehicles are - a Landy Defender 300tdi (running on bio) and a Massey Ferguson 135 tractor.

I am hoping to get help with a problem on the XK that my local mechanic can't solve but I shall save that for another time.

To all who might be able to help - a big thankyou in advance.

Chris

 

Welcome, Massey Ferguson 135 ? that tractor is the best for plough , fuel eco is awesome yet very good at the maneuverability
You gotta visit Diesel Forums since you already have another diesel engine
Congrats on your ride and take a look at the FAQs at the top of xk forum .
WE have other areas too, check them out and have fun

 

Welcome Chris,

An XK and a Massey, that's a good spread.

 

Chris;

Welcome to the forum.

I have a fairly ancient Rangie which needs an ever increasing amount of TLC (and money) to keep it going - Go figure a Rangie that needs work! I really want a Defender, but they are a tad too expensive.

Happy trails.

 

Thank you all for your warm welcome and advice.

 

Hi my name is Franklin and I live in Des Moines Iowa. I just bought a 2000 Jaguar XJ8 that is not currently running like it should. This is my second Jaguar I have owned and I really like the Xj body styles. Thanks in advance fore the furture help that I going to receive from this site.

 

Hey CW Welcome aboard one of the friendliest sites around......99% about Jags but we are an enthusiast site, so the Massey and the Landy are welcome here too

Post up some pics when you can......

Check out the various sections, off topic, regional and detailing etc all have stuff going on and worth a peek.

I've upgraded you to full forum access so you can better view the site

+1 on all of the above to birdine

 

Hi Birdine

You obviously have a similar problem to me. I've just replaced 4 coil packs (£400), the knock sensor, cleaned the MAFS, cleaned out the part load breather and carburettor barrel. It is now running better but it still misfires when you try to accelerate hard. I'm still looking through the forum for further help. Patience is a virtue!
