Welcome to the forum SHANICE1,

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar forums.

'*on day of freeway incident all of the antifreeze came out' - as in the engine overheated? If so, you are in big trouble.

Follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Thanks..but no not at All the car did not overheat..the knocking on noise didnt come until todaywhen we changed the spark plugs..we also cleaned the oil pump tube.

 

I can see you've started a thread in XK8/XKR forum and that's the place to get help rather than here in the Intro forum.
