Hi,

quick hello to all current forum members from me, a new Jaaaaaaaaaag owner. I’ve never had a Jag before so a bit of a leap of faith buying a 1997 XK8 4.0l convertible with 113,000 miles on it (but a newish engine) off eBay then driving it back 140 miles from London to wintry Derbyshire. So far so good. A few minor bits to sort but nothing major..

looking forward to interaction with the experts !

Regards.

PS It’s blue!

Welcome to the forum Moldy99,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. I'll bet the vendor couldn't believe their luck selling a convertible last week!

I can see you've found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
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.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Congratulations on your new Jaguar!
113,000 miles is just well broken in!
Still tight enough to have loads of quiet power, but loose enough to spin Real Fine!!
