Default New member - Hi to all.

I live in a small village in Wiltshire in the southwest of the UK. I've had my all black dynamic XKR for just over a year and I came across this forum whilst searching for information on removing a door card. She has developed a slight, but annoying rattle when going over bumps... (of which there are many on our aging UK country roads)

Anyway I've had a quick look around and like what I see, so thought I join-up and say hello - HELLO!

My little beauty:

Welcome to the forums BlakCat,

If the "annoying rattle" is a tinny sound, check the exhaust heatshields haven't broke away at the fixing bolts. I replaced two centres and one rear heatshield on my 2007 XK.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. 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 add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thanks for the welcome and suggestion Graham, appreciated.

the rattle is definitely coming from inside the door, behind the door card. Sounds like something is loose or vibrating against something. It’s not loud, but annoying nether the less

I’ll check out the UK section, thanks again Graham

Hello,
Your car IS a beauty! Of course, I'll freely admit to being heavily biased toward BLACK!

Don't understand why my signature isn't showing? I've entered it on the CP and uploaded a picture, it shows as a preview, but not on a post - any ideas?

OK so I see the text is now showing but not the photo. EDIT As always not reading the instructions properly. Sorted now.
