Default Our first Jag

Hi,
We are Ron & Mario and we were just "gifted" our 2004 XK8 Convertible with 130,000 miles.
In the Washington DC area, the car fits in like a glove. We are looking forward to bringing this car back to her original beauty. We have a lot of work to do on her, thankfully most of it is just routine maintenance. She made the drive from Florida to DC without issue.

Things we know need done:
Right rear window motor/regulator.
Tires
Front suspension - it has 130K on it and time for a replacement
Second Tibbe key
New ignition coils & plugs - just started throwing cylinder misfire codes.
Drivers side window/mirror switch replacement
Serpentine belt
Upper & lower radiator hoses
E brake warning light switch (hoping its not the entire brake line)
Passenger seat head rest lift

These will keep us busy for a while but well worth the effort. In our opinion this car is the best looking convertible available.

R&M

Welcome to the Forums.

The ONLY way to bring a Cat home. The alternative is simply "Un-Jaguar".

Good luck.

Good job driving it home, that's a Critical part of the Bonding Process most people don't understand.
