Default First time Jaguar owner

Hello everyone!

I've been reading this forum since I bought a 2004 Jaguar XK8 convertible, about three months ago. It's my first Jaguar and a convertible car. This forum has been very helpful and I'm sure it will be in the future. I live in Estonia and there are only a few XK8s here, so it's a head-turner. It will be a non winter driver for me but an almost daily driver otherwise. I bought it with some faults and the knowledge that it has been vandalized in US. It has been wrapped, but this winter I will have it's bodywork cleaned, repaired and repainted. All the other problems I have started repairing myself. It's already in good working order and I drive it as much as I can for my personal errands. In the near future I will lower it, put a stage 2 exhaust kit on, with springs and exhaust purchased from Adamesh. I'll also fit a remote roof control system on it and already fitted the Bluetooth system from Discount Car Stereo guys.

Thanks again for all the good info I've gotten so far from this forum.

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar!
Good job driving it every chance you get. These cars need to be Used, they don't do well as Garage Queens.

Welcome to the forums PKlaar,

Good to have you with us.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the Europe Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/ to find other members in your region.

Please 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

Thanks for the quick advise GGG! I'll be posting progress pics from time to time! Should I make a new thread for that?
