Default Hello all

I would like to introduce myself . My name is Glyn and for the last two years I have owned a 1997 XK8 COUPE in Carnival Red . Car is generally in good order and is used on "High Days and Holidays" only , not an everyday driver . I live in the county of Shropshire , England , which is in the west and on the border with Wales. I am married with grown up sons and live in the south shropshire hills with my wfe Joy . I am 68 but still in part- time work . I aspire to one day owning an E - Type but that is very much a pipe dream at the moment

Welcome.

Pipe dream sits well, coz they can be a money pit, as any classic of that vintage can be.

Welcome to the forum Glyn,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow Norri's link in post #4 to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information.
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.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link UK & Eire - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Glyn,

I've moved your gearbox question to XK8/XKR forum. Here's the direct link to it:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...97-xk8-171169/

XK8/XKR forum is the place to post technical questions about your model.
