Default Hi from Dublin

Hi There,

Just bought a yr2000 xk8 in meteorite silver. 88k on the clock. Drove an XJ40 back about 15 yrs ago so its a nice return to Jags.

Car has some starting issues and Ive a seperate thread on this if anyone can help me as Im not used to the technology involved. My hobby was rwd fords from the 70's so a spark,juice and some air was about the extent of it.

Looking forward to seeing lots of interesting info on the forum.

Rgds,
Mike

Welcome to the forum Mike,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

A scan tool is going to be your new best friend. The electronics have taken a big leap from the XJ40 days and error codes are now key to troubleshooting.

I know you have already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech section 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 info 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 Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-68/
to find other members in the UK and Eire.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
