Smile New Member with a 2001 XKR Convertible

Hi,

I hope I am doing this correctly. I am not that familiar with forums. I read the rules so I am trying to post this intro per the new member instructions. I am located in Wayne, NJ. If anyone is near me, please let me know! I love my car, which is a 2001 Jaguar XKR Convertible. However, it has been a high maintenance vehicle for me. Unfortunately, I can't work on cars myself. I wish I could! But. I read all the forums and posts. I posted photos – I am not sure if that was ok or not. But technically I have been a member since February, I just didn’t introduce myself at that time! I will post more photos after the allotted time and then hopefully I can ask for some advice about my car because I am taking it to the dealership next week!

Thanks,



Leigh

Welcome to the forum, I went to dealership once...Be careful!

Actually dealerships do sometimes have good people, I only go there when my mother in law wants a new car.

Leigh welcome to the forum - as you've been reading for a while, there is a wealth of info and support here.

while you may not be a diy'er, the How To's are the best place to start to at least get an idea for possible causes/solutions before taking to a shop - here is the direct link:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ts-data-29800/

for info on local events, check out the North East US regional section:

North East US - ME NH VT MA RI CT NJ NY PA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

lastly - recommend adding a signature to your profile including model and year, by clicking the User CP link in the upper left

Enjoy!!

the pics look great and you can post more as you have time without meeting allotted time/post requirements. The requirements are for viewing the member galleries or downloading files to reduce spammers.

The easiest way to post pics into a thread is by clicking the "Go Advanced" link, then click the paperclip icon.

Browse your computer to the desired pic, click the upload button, add as many as you want then once all have been uploaded, click close and you are good to go.
