Hi
Yikes! I just acquired 1997 AND 2001 XK8 convertibles from my late brother in law's estate. Both have problems. The 97 has a blown headgasket and the 01 has engine misfires but it does start and run. I'll most likely keep to 01 and use the 97 for parts. The adventure begins!

Hello, Jim,
I'm sorry to read of your bil's death, and that Both cars have such problems. I hope you can get that all sorted out.
