Hi,
My dad passed away this summer at age 90 and I was left with his 2001 XK8 convertible. Dad was a Jag man all his life and owned several different models in his lifetime. As a retired Air Force Pilot he could fix anything mechanical or electrical on a vehicle. I had the Jag transported here to Navarre, Florida from Santa Maria, CA. After two weeks of showing off this beauty I was introduced to the "Dreaded Green Shower" lowering the top at the beach. My dad has taken very good care of this 2001 with 48000 miles. This forum will be my life saver.

 

welcome to the forum, you will find a wealth of info and support here

Bummer on the green shower! Several threads here address and replacement hoses can be obtained through Cabriolet Hydraulics out of Bradenton Fl or TopHydraulics.com. Both offer excellent quality, higher rated hoses and comparable pricing

For XK8/XKR specific issues, check out the XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum section. Pay particular attention to the first few threads with the How To's, Downloads, etc. Also look at downloading the JTIS or workshop manual available in the FAQs.

For local info/events, check out the Lower Atlantic US regional section USA Lower Atlantic - NC SC FL GA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

lastly - recommend adding a signature to your profile by clicking the user cp link in the upper left - include model and year for best support and response to any questions you may have
