Going to look at my dream car tomorrow it's a 2000 XKR8 y{2000} metalic silver black int looks stunning anything i should look for guys thanks in advance

 

Welcome to the forum tommy3,

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-17/ to the XK8/XKR section for help and advice.

In particular look at the buyer's checklist by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...k-links-20090/. It's for the XJ8/XJR but has a good checklist.

All Jaguars are stunning. Most look shiny. Try to see beyond that when assessing a potential purchase. Service History is crucial. Ideally you want to know what's been done to it from new or get good explanations for any gaps.

Good luck and I hope in your next post you're able to tell us about the Jaguar you've just purchased.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Will do having it checked out this friday fingers crossed taking it to Roadbend who are the Jaguar specialist

 

Nice Jag Tommy, Good luck with it! Even though I am a big time drop top head, I think the XK8 looks best in coupe form.

 

Thanks Barry it's sex on wheels!!!

 

Oh how i love this car mint cond looks new any excuse to go for a drive

 

Has anybody got a disc for Australia?

 

Sounds like a fair trade to me.

What 'disc' are you looking for?

Graham

 

mine is a uk model still has the last owners addresses in the satnav would like a disc with australian maps

 

Jaguar SatNav update discs are a frustration and annoyance to many owners across the model range.

This thread outlines some of the difficulties with sourcing and then failing Australia update discs:

The answer looks to be that technology has moved but Jaguar hasn't kept up.
