Default new XK8 owner

Just purchased a 2002 XK8 with 38,000 miles, Red, convertible ,near mint condition. I know there are a few issues with the early models such as chain tensioner and this forum is no doubt where to learn more and also share my experiences. Live in Ocala, Fla with no Jag dealers but several small shops that work on many European autos. Hello to all -- Bob D.
