Default New to Jag! Now hav 1999 xk8

82,000 it's had good care from 3 PO's and now it's my turn. Just got an evaluation from Jag dealer for the needed replacements and now trying to find local assistance rather than a dealer who marks up all parts double. Try $300 for a radiator flush, just for instance. Or how about $600 for a spark plug change. I learned at once to just stay out of that place. This will not be a daily driver so that takes some of the pressure off. Got it for a good price which took into account some repairs. Looking forward to some nice days here in the northwest.

Welcome to the forum Chuck,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see 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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
