Just bought a 1998 XK8 from a friend who took exceptional care of this beauty. It's my first Jaguar and I'm still in awe. It has a 4 liter V8 and as far as I can tell to this point, everything works! The front seats need reupholstered and a new paint job is in the future, but all in all I'm very pleased. I know nothing about these automobiles and am here to learn. Thank you.

 

welcome - I'm over in Seneca, SC 6 months of the year - with a XK and a XK8 ... join us for some rides in the twisties sometime.

 

from a fellow South Carolinian welcome to the forum, you have indeed found the mother lode of information and support for your Jags!

For XK8 specific issues/info, check out the XK8/XKR section paying particular attention to the first few threads containing how to's, downloads, etc:

I'm sure the Jag could use a little loving, be sure to check out our sponsor give away - easy to enter simply select one of the 2 awesome detailing kits, post a pic of the car you will use it on https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/d...5/#post1038119

Lastly - recommend adding a signature to your profile by clicking the user cp link in the upper left - include model and year to get best replies to any questions you may have

ENJOY!!!!
