Hi Everyone

New Jaguar XKR 2008 owner. This is my first Jag and so far really enjoying it. I've been reading through the forum and I'm impressed with the amount of information here. The car I have is in fairly good condition for the age so I will be giving ot a bit of tlc and hopefully I'll get a few trouble free miles out of it. First job is battery replacement.

James

Welcome to the forums James,

Second job is to buy a CTEK or similar unless you plan on regular use.

It sounds like you've already found the relevant model forum but if not, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/ to the X150 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Ah yes I have purchased a ctek after reading about the battery problems on this forum. I plan to drive the car but I don't do many miles and also do shift work so the car will be parked for a few day at a time as we use the family when I'm off!
