Hi,

Bought a 1997 XK8 in about 2000, timing chain jumped about 9 months later. Loved the car, but what a heart breaker. Car sold many years ago now.

Apparently I'm a poor learner, as I'm considering getting another one because I want an auto trans car for commuting in traffic.

 

Welcome to the forum Ophitoxaemiathat,

Hard lesson but you know what to look for in the next one.

Follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR section for help, advice and information. The HOW TO thread at the top of the section is a good place to start.

You can visit the Western US Region section by following this link Western US - AK CA NV OR UT HI WA ID - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the search and the forum.

Thanks Jim! BTW, I had an iPad autocorrect fail with my first account name, corrected in the second post. So the shorter version is the one I'll be using. Sorry for the inconvenience!
