Question New member hello! Red 1999 XK8 Convertible

I've always been a Jag lover. When I saw an XK8 in '97 in a parking lot, I knew it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen. 12 years later, on 9/9/99, I had my dream car! Love my "Pretty Lady" and drove her happily for 5 and a half years, than sadness happened when the engine dies. Everything but the engine is almost perfect, only 60,000 miles on her. Way too nice a car to sell for scrap, I want to fix her but need help to find a decent replacement engine or someone to buy as is that will get her running again. I live in WA state near Seattle. Anybody out there have suggestions? Thank you in advance! Susan

Hello, Susan,
I'm sorry your kitty has had a fatal heart attack. Someone will be along soon to direct you to the correct section where members can help you diagnose the problem or to perform a heart transplant.

Welcome to the forums from Elinor.

Welcome, oops does not quite cut it.

The people in the XK8/XKR Tech Section will have answers, particularly those in your market area.

Good luck.
