Hello from NYC! I just purchased my first Jaguar. She's a lovely 1998 XK8 with only 65,000 miles. Any recommendations from XK8 owners on what I should look for in my new Jaguar to avoid any known issues? I want to be sure to treat her well!

 

Welcome to the forums tetrapj,

Look out for threads on:
1. plastic tensioners
2. cooling hoses/water pump
3. transmission fluid and filter change
