Default Upgrade water pump xjr? Aluminum Thermostat housing?
When I go in to change the thermostat to a lower temp, should I also change / upgrade the water pump?

Is this the upgraded water pump you guys would recommend? Jaguar 4.0L V-8 Water Pump & Gasket 97-03

The XJR already has an aluminum housing, and there is no need to change the pump form your year. If you want to, make sure you avoid metal impeller ones, and go for a stock one, like this for $75:
2002 JAGUAR XKR Parts - Direct JPLV Porsche Parts.com

Have a look here, there is some more info to be had, including the thermostats available:
