Smile 1999 XK8, 290 HP, 4.0 liter V8 DOHC

Hi All!
Greetings from Montgomery, ALabama!
Just purchased Brittish Racing Green 1999 XK8. At first I was unsure what I was getting in to but replaced #4 coil, Temp Sensor, and all the spark plugs. Now the XK8 is running just fine. No messages, quick to accelerate at any speed and just looks great. Now to save up to get that AC going in time for summer.

I work at Gunter Annex for the AF - just a couple of years from retirement. Then I will have time to actually do other things beside read Jaguar Forum while keeping the XK8 running in top condition.

Thanks to the members of the Jaguar Forum for the advice, tips and cautions.

I did post a not in the South Central thread with a response from ***** Perdue! Now to get together after the new year.
Much to learn...

Terry

Welcome to the forum Terry,

Congratulations on the XK8.

Follow Norri's link to the tech section for help, advice and information.

Enjoy the forum.
