I'm a new member
My name is Roy Shelor and I live in Tennessee USA. I aquired a 2001 Jaguar XK8 through a trade. I am very happy with this car. It's my first Jaguar and I find it interesting to say the least. I've read notes from this forum and have been able to fix several issues that gave the previous owner headaches. I have been a successful "shade tree" mechanic for some 43 years and I must say this forum is one of the more technical and friendly forms I've seen.

Hello, Roy,
Congratulations on your "new" Jaguar!
'Interesting' is a good way to describe a Jaguar. They're certainly different from Mercan cars. But as you know, mechanical principles are the same no matter the brand. Being a successful Shade Tree mechanic, you'll get on just fine with your cat.

Welcome to the forum Roy,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech 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 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 USA Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link US Southern Midwest - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
