Default Newbie in FL & NJ - 2003 Jaguar XK8 Vert

I just picked up my 1st Jaguar, a 2003 Jaguar XK8 vert. I've always wanted one of these as I love the look, V8 and rear wheel drive. I got a great deal on the car, but of course it has a list of problems. So far this website and Gus's has been a great help with the repairs. I've already ordered new rear shocks and the roof pressure relief valve from Gus.

Hopefully all my posts aren't about looking for repair advice, but that will be the case for a little while.

The rest of my herd includes a 2008 Trailblazer SS, 2002 Corvette and a 2010 SRT Challenger. The 03 XK8 replaced a Lincoln Mark VIII, hence my username.

Ken (MARKVIII)

Welcome to the forum Ken,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech 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 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.

You can also visit the USA Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/usa-lower-atlantic-nc-sc-fl-ga-66/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
