I just joined this forum becuase I just purchased a 2003 Jaguar XK8 convertible with 180,000 miles on it.I have not seen anyone on this site with a car with that many miles nor even close to it. I bought the 2003 because of the metal timing chain, tensioners, rails, and the newer 4.2 engine. One Jaguar mechanic said if possible go with that. It was all I could afford. Now.... the question how many miles do you think I have left ?

 

welcome to the forum - you will find plenty of info and support here.


I believe there are a few members with higher mileage XK's than you and with proper maintenance/upkeep and regular driving I think you will be fine.


for XK8 specific info - check out the XK8/XKR section -paying particular attention to the How To's and DIY stickies.
