Default New to forum / 03 XK8

Hello my Jag owning friends.

I'll make this quick. In 2008 saw a 03 xk8 with 50k on Ebay, fell in love with it and a few hours later it became my Summer car.

Typically it comes out of the garage from May - Sep and typically runs great. This year has been a different story, I will post the issue elsewhere with the hopes someone can help.

Looks like a great forum, I'll try and read and learn as much as I can.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.

What a nice group of people, definitely love this forum already. I'll uploads some pics soon. Not sure it is possible to fall in love with a car but it felt like it to me
I've got some folks helping me on the XK8 thread already with my "fuel pump ?" problem.
Hope everyone is well and thanks for taking the time to welcome me.

Welcome Morty!
It's definitely possible to fall in love with a car. I did my xk8.
I totaled it and about had to be put away! Finally got an XKR and
all is right with the world again.
