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.

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:

XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum


For local info/events, check out the Lower Atlantic US regional section
USA Lower Atlantic - NC SC FL GA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

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!!!!

Welcome to the forum drbsmithmd,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow Steve's link in post #3 to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info 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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
