Hi everyone, I just bought my first Jaguar 🤔🙄
good or bad I love it, and it's not taxed or tested yet.
It's a XKR 400 limited edition of 100 produced, 60 coupe's, 40 convertibles, I have a coupe.
Loads of history, very solid compared to some I have seen, 115k miles on the clock.
Look forward to tinkering with my new toy along with gaining your knowledge from the forum 👍🇬🇧

The car looks good and the garage even better. I dont recommend "tinkering" Remember the 7 Ps.. Prior Preparation Prevents **** Poor Performance tinkering produces " reduced performance mode" and get a battery tender on it ASAP or the tinkering may have to start in vane.

this ^^^^^


even on XK8 / XKR’s with a fully functional charging system. A battery tender will keep the numerous electrical demons at bay.

The NOCO Genius series, CTEK, and the Delran Battery tender + , are all good choices. Amazon has them all

My 'Tinkering' is tottally professional I assure you 😂😂
regarding the battery tenders, I've got 3 Lidl ones on my other cars, great value for £14.99 they drop to maintenance once full and give information, oldest one is at least 6 years old and no problems, Ctek etc. Are great don't get me wrong but rather expensive 🤔
Attached is a picture of me 'tinkering' with my 911 Turbo 😂😂
The XKR is in Safe hands 👍👍🇬🇧
