New member in Scotland - XK8

Hello,

I have just purchased a XK8 and it's lovely. Been a Jag owner for years with XJS, XJ6, Sovereigns etc in the past.

Always wanted a XK8 since they first came out and have now bought an old one to do up. It's a 1996 but still looks good.

One problem with it so far. The engine cuts out, particularly when slowing down, down hill. Bit strange for an automatic. If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful for some help

Love to talk to anyone with similar.

Terry
