Owners' Stories

I purchased a ;98 XK* with 68,000 miles and a 5yr, 100,000 warranty on engine and transmission. Well, that has not been an issue. At first the car would run for 280 miles before the low coolant light would come on. Had new fan switch installed, light still comes on . Had new hoses comletley replaced to the tune of $3,500, light comes on now at 75 miles Had new T Stat installed, pressure tested, no leaks but still the low coolant light comes on now at 15 miles. Seems to be leaking from seconday expansion tank but know one, I MEAN NO ONE can figure out why. After over $5,000 it is worse than ever. I am at my witts end. Currently in the shop but no remedy. At this stage it is inoperable. Great investment!

I have 44,000 miles on my 2005 XK8 replace CD changer all ready, now its back doing the same thing, every time I hit a small bump it cuts out and starts back. Now I'm told my rear strut on passenger rear needs to be replace and rear sway bar is bent and need to be replace. I really love the car it gets a lot of attention and gets pretty good gas milage.

I like the 1999 XK8's styling and performance. Had to have the tensioners and timing chains replaced. That was a little expensive($2500).
