Hey everyone!
I'm Remii, ill be picking up an 2000 XKR within a month or so. It's going to be my first car so I'm super excited about it.

Besides the timing chain what are some common problems with the XKRs, and also does anyone have any regrets about buying one?


Thanks for your time!

Welcome to the forum Remii,
Timing chains should not be a problem, but check you have the latest generation tensioners.
Give the car's electric system a good going over starting with a fully charged serviceable battery.
Other than that, enjoy the car and the forum.

If it's a convertible consider a pressure limiting valve otherwise just enjoy it.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

I'll be sure to upload pics when I pick up my jag. Seems like this is a great community to be part of!

 

As in your very first car? Or your first jag? Cause that's a sweet first car! (Mine was a 1978 Pontiac LeMans, but I still loved it!)

 

First car thats 100% mine. I've been sharing a 1999 porsche 911 with my older brother for the last few years. It will be a great car to start at the university with!

I've been bitten by the jag bug!!!!
