Smile XK8 new member Cardiff, Wales,UK

Hi all,
bought my first 'real' car 2 weeks ago now and still haven't stopped smiling !


I have always loved the E-type , but have known for years ,apart from winning the Lotto, there was no way on earth!....so in my view the nearest thing that was in budget ... I now have a 2003 xk8, 4.2 and am very very pleased I took the plunge.


The only problem that I know so far that I have to deal with is a leak in the A/C condenser, so after looking through this brill forum, I think I will be sorting this out this weekend.


I will now be changing the Dryer/filter at same time, ( thanks to advice from otherson other topics !)


any advice would be appreciated.


look forward to speaking about how it goes over following weeks,
but apologies if I do not respond immediately, as I work away during the week and don't always have WIFI in the hotels.


this is also my first forum , so if I am doing things wrong, please help !!!
will be adding a photo but don't know how yet ! lol

cheers
Buz (chris)

Welcome.

I'd smile too if my first Jag was an XK8.

As it was a MK7, I was 18, and still smiled.

Welcome to the forum Chris,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can tell you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to 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.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link UK & Eire - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
