Default thanks for having me here

I am an Aussie based here in Phnom Penh Cambodia.
mine is 97 XK8 a bit of a work in progress but generally in excellent condition . She is Left side drive (USA)
she is going in for a full respray next month due to crows feet in some of the paint due to excessive heat .
Only things she needs is a new Grill, looking for a chrome one … with badge in center, not so much the bunny tooth type.
as with most cup holder is broken and I am trying to replace that it cannot be fixed bits missing.
It does need the passenger side walnut dash that covers the airbag, mine is cracked the rest is near perfect but feel I'll need a whole set to have it match the woodgrain on gear shifter is much darker then the dash would love to have it all match .

Welcome to the forum Sullo,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can save you the trouble of searching for a matching gear shift - I've never yet seen an OE shifter fitted that matches the dash grain.

As you have come straight to the X100 forum without posting an Intro, I hardly need to give you a link to it!
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

Welcome! None of the shift knobs on the XK8's ever matched the beautiful wood on the dash. Years ago I found a guy from Florida on ebay making really great knobs with detailed photos so you know exactly what you're getting. Do an ebay search for "xk8 burl knob" and you'll find some excellent choices from him and others.

Welcome Sullo!

You'll find this forum a cornucopia of good fellowship, good ideas, good advice and good will. The techs here have a bottomless pool of expertise, and they are not just willing but eager to share it with anyone who is genuinely appreciative... or even those who turn out not to be. Grab a shot of Sullivan's Cove French Oak and join the Jag Fest.

That's harsh. I only give 7 Day Bans here for a first offence.
