2003 XKR...Have questions

First post...

I have a 2003 XKR with only 1200 miles. Anything that I should know about this car? Any special maintenance items or weak points?

First of all, are you kidding me...only 1200 miles? If so, sounds like it has been sitting a long time...that may cause some problems. Get the fluids changed...well, all fluids except the transmission, right techs?

We get this question alot from new buyers. Since you're an XK guy, here are a couple of good threads from the past.

thread 1

thread 2

There may be a few more in the xk8/xkr section, but those are the ones that I found the most info that you may be interested in.

From what I have learned, the 2003 and up models are very reliable. Minor wear and tear items, maybe a few glitches/parts that need replacing (right and left door latches were warranty items on mine), but generally, you got a sweet ride. Gonna say this nicely now...get us some pics new guy.[sm=smiley14.gif]

Thanks for the links. This car has been sitting so long that I forgot the year. It's actually a 2002. It's at a shop right now awaiting a new fuel pump. It must of failed from just sitting. I guesswe wasted the warranty. The car is in Florida now. Before we had it in Michigan where it pretty much just sat with a cover over it. Hopefully it'll be enjoyed once we get it running.
