Hi to the forum.

This is my first Jaguar (wanted an XKE since 1962) but had some MGA's, a TR-3 and a TR-4 instead since then.

Found a nice 2001 XKR convertible a couple of weeks ago. The XKR is all original, no damage, perfect paint and replaced 2 broken plastic parts. Nice leather. I was able to repair the butt rub hole in the side of the back of the driver's seat myself for $5.00. I glued an embroidered Jaguar logo patch over the hole. As soon as I figure it out, I will try to post the pictures.

1st owner got a brand new Jag installed engine under warranty ($10K worth) at about 40,000 miles in 3 years of ownership. Probably the tensioner problem, so that problem is out of the way.

2nd owner put about 20,000 more miles on it in about 3 more years.

3rd owner put it in a garage and put 15,000 miles in about 8 years. He put on a new top and new supercharger 3 years ago.

First long drive out last Friday, I hit a huge pothole on the Galveston seawall and got a dead fuel pump. I did a lot of googling on the side of the road -- thanks for smart phones. Got an 87 mile tow back to Humble and did a lot more reading and measuring. Ordered a new fuel pump with 2 filters.

Thanks for the forum, it has answered all of my questions and given me about a foot high stack of paperwork -- without downloading the factory service manuals yet.
