Default New member in So. CA, 2001XKR

Joined about a week ago. Live in Chatsworth CA, a suburb of Los Angeles. Have a 2001XKR that I bought from the dealer when it had about 250 miles on it. I won't be showing any pictures of it for a while as it needs some TLC. (A long story.) I want to start working on it and get it back on the road. Soooo I joined Jag Forms it pick all of your minds. First thing will be to get the engine running again. Think I need new fuel pumps. From what I've read that should be an interesting way to become a Jag mechanic. Please wish me luck and be kind.

Fred

P. S. The handle daborkie is because I have three sons and all my grand-kids call me Da.

Welcome to the forum Fred,

(I've merged your two Intro threads)

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/ to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information 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.

I can see you'vew already found the US Western Region forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello, Fred,
It's OK your Jaguar needs some care. You've probably been a little busy over 17 years, work, family and stuff. I hope you get your car up to snuff eventually.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
