Default New XK8 owner in Hampshire, UK

Hi all,
Two weeks ago 2005 XK8 4.2L ZF6HP26
I became the proud owner of a 2005, 43k mile, Jaguar XK8.

After buying the car the first thing I did, after smiling for most of the 65 miles home, was to buy a simple wifi OBD II reader and download the Car Scanner App for my iphone. All my other cars I own are pre OBD!!! Both seem to work pretty well but I guess if I ever get any serious error messages I might have to get something a little more sophisticated (iCarsoft LR2 sounds like the best option).

Look forward to getting great advice from the forum as I start to understand my new car.

Phil
