Default Rookie on the line

Hey I joined this cause I own a jeep as well and the jeep forum was the best thing ever for my frame off build of a 73cj5 and now I'm the owner of a 1997 xk8 and it has all the problems that they are known for and more so I think this will be where I find all my new best friends.I need all the info and help I can get cause I'm finding these computer ran vehicles extremely difficult and stubborn but these cats are to sexy to let go. So I'm looking forward to help from everyone thanks everyone for letting me on your forum

Welcome.

I suggest the tech question get asked in the XK8/XKR section, where the numerous answers you seek will be given.

Not everyone comes in here, so exposure to those taht know is limited.

Welcome to the forum 97 xk8 mayhem,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum with the VVT issue 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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
