Hello from Bavaria ;)
Hi guys and warm hello from Bavaria/Germany!
Just got my beautiful blue XK8 convertible back on the road after 6 (!) years of storage (job, kids, life, you know the drill).
All it needed was:
- fuel pump
- Tensioners
- waterpump, thermostat, norma connector replace, aluminium thermostat housing
- fresh oil plus filter
- hydraulics flush for the roof
- new fluids and filters all around
- new tires
- and YES, it runs on 6 year old fuel
This forum was a lot of help and will be in the future, I'm sure.
This is a great hobby next to my soul crushing job in IT

Welcome to the forums fabs0,
Well done. Most owners lose enthusiasm with a vehicle in storage and pass them on after a few years.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.
Enjoy the forums.
