Hi all, my name is Glenn and I live in Connecticut. I've recently purchased an older model Jag - 1999 XJ8-L, 83,000 miles. I love this car so far, despite having to replace the fuel pump recently. Next up is the timing chain (as a preventive measure), and I need to replace valve cover gaskets (detected slight leak) , other than that I love the car. Handles great, plenty of power and all in all a very nice comfortable ride.

 

Welcome to the forum Glenn,

Congratulations on the XK8. Don't delay with timing chains if they are at all suspect.
