I love the car, but as I expected it's got some foibles. Gear box fault, reset by stopping has shown up periodically. Then, a loose gas cap, which wasn't loose. Then, a bonnet open - probably said hood, but it wasn't. Just letting the car rest for a day reset the warning light.

Wouldn't have the love for the car without a fault or two.

 

Rick, you've already done your intro so one of the damn Brits has moved your thread to the XK8/R section.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the cars "character" .

 

We're all a bit like that!

 

how old is that damn battery?

 

Now see? You're made of the Right Stuff
