Default New member from Massachusetts

Hello all. I'm writing from Winchester, Massachusetts, U.S.A. and I became a new member yesterday. Thanks to the moderator and administrators for this resource.

I bought a 2000 XKR a couple of years ago on Ebay and I love it. I use it everyday and it now has 61,000 miles. I bought it with 25,000 miles on it.

As with any used car there have been some problems... The convertible failed and leaked hydraulic fluid, from above, all over the console etc. I cried when I paid the repair bill at the local dealership.

Bulbs burned out in the a/c heater control panel. I replaced those myself with some help from a man known on U-tube as "sam 1174". He does a great job!

I've tackled some other "minor" issues but won't bore you with them now.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I look forward to learning some of the ins and outs of d.i.y. jag repairs.

Welcome to the forum,

You appear to have been managing the repairs and maintenance without any assistance for the last 36K miles. Hope it's not some major issue that brings you here.

Follow Steve's link to the XK8/XKR section for advice, information and to post your own contributions.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
