Thumbs up Hello: Finally joined (after getting an XKR)

I recently crowned a five-month journey to get hold of an XKR convertible. The process started well before COVID19 lockdown while looking for a totally different make. I just fell in love with the XKR when I saw it in a showroom for the first time. After a long and sometimes frustrating process (backed down from a "salvage-titled" rebuilt car crashed in 2005; got too late to a second one who had just been sold) I finally found a very nice 2006 XKR-S.
All you in this forum played a very important role in my being able to successfully cross the finish line. I came here frequently to find answers to technical questions that emerged during the research for a good car. I am grateful for that.
I am not into mechanics or technology at all but I may probably contribute by sharing about the multiple resources I found during my search.
I will enjoy the XKR as much as I can, and I will do it with the peace of mind that brings knowing I can come back here and rely on your advise.
So thank you again!

Welcome to the forums Jagmex,

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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello,
Once you're bitten by the Jag Bug there is no cure. The only Remedy is to Own one for yourself. Congratulations on yours.
