Hello from Flagstaff AZ

Hello all.. I bought a 2005 XK8 convertible about 6 months ago and have been loving it ever since. It has the typical Jaguar quirks with things that don't work quite as you would expect them to, but darn is she classy.
Some issues I will be looking into/potentially asking about are a problematic coolant level warning message, DSC warning message, leaking hydraulics above the windshield, inoperable passenger side seat heater and seat controls, pulsating rpms at low speeds, and probably many more.
So far I have put an intake and exhaust from Mina gallery (sounds amazing!), fixed a cracked thermostat housing, and ordered a bunch of bits from the dealer.
This is my first RWD V8 daily driver and I can say I never want to go back to a 4-cylinder!
Cheers to all and thanks for making this a great site!
