Howdy from Texas!
I've been lurking here for several months, finally found and purchased my XKR in October and decided it might be time now for an introduction.
She is a 2010, been around the block a few times (93k miles), BUT according to CarFax she was previously sold as a Jaguar CPO twice and showed a very thorough service record. She looks clean as can be and drives like a dream. It was love at first sight - I'm sure you folks can relate.
I do most of my own wrenching so I've been busy thru the holidays taking care of a few maintenance items - trans pan/filter swap with dump and fill, e-diff fluid change, replaced a leaking heater hose ($76 dollars for an 8" hose? Damn!), rebuilt the leaking vacuum pump housing. And a couple of coats of wax, of course!
I love this car! My previous toys have been Corvettes, several BMWs, miscellaneous others, but I think this Jag is the best of the lot.
Many thanks to all here who've shared their technical know-how and experiences.
