Smile New XK8 owner / backyard project with many questions

Hi there all ...Hoping to get alot of feedback reguarding my (new to me) 1997 XK8. I bought it at auction with a few problems. I'm hoping to have enough time to repair and get it running now that my kids are away at college. I've read many posts on different forums implying that these beauties were very temperamental so thought the best way to become familiar is to just "dig in" . First question....should I have bought one in working order? LOL I'll be searching the threads to find answers to my questions....hope I get some help....I think I will need it. Thanks guys!

Welcome! You should find a plethora of information here to help you get that car back on the road again. How brave of you to undertake such a project. I'm sure it will be very rewarding.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

One other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.
