Wink Newbie here

Greetings all!! I am now the owner of an "Experianced" 2003 XK8 convertable. Car runs great, had it checked out; veryhappy so far. I am in South NJ. Also looking for info on things I can do to the car such as what are the service intervals, what is done at each service, adding a mesh grill if that will do anything or any benifits to adding a custom air intake system from companies like KAnd N. Did the car come with a first aid kit or not, etc. Walso looking for owner experiences with it as well.

Take care. BTW, my name is Joe.

Hello Joe and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Another welcome. I bought a 98 XK8 Conv in February, but was lucky to find one with only 35K single owner miles on it. The first two months have been a blast. This time of year in GA is perfect for top down cruising.

Your year is a good one, with many new options available over the older models. You'll find plenty of ways to spend money on upgrades that will improve upon an already fantastic car. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi Joe, another hello! This one from South / Central NJ. Enjoy the forum and your car. I love my '02 and can tell you that this forum has really helped me with the issues that i have had with it.

Good luck....maybe a 'Drive to the Shore" is in order for all of the XK8 owners in Jersey!
