Default New Member --first Jag

We just picked up our first Jaguar-- a 2005 xk8 convertible. Still getting familiar with it's features and quirks. There are a couple of things to fix, like for some reason the drivers seat will not flip forward, and the engine is generating a bit too much RF interference (probably a bad plug wire, but you gotta GET to the plug wire to find out). Overall we love it, and can't wait to do a road trip up the coast with the top down......

Welcome aboard.

The answers will be in the relevant forum area.

I believe that engine is "coil over plug", so no leads to fail, just cols.

Nice ride regardless.
