Hi all, new to the forum, well sort of. I have viewed and read many threads and they have been a huge help. So last year I bought my 2007 XJ8 as a wedding gift to my wife. We both fell instantly in love with the car. A few months after purchase it was stolen here in Indiana where we live. It took about 3 weeks and my friend and I, he is a tow truck driver, found and recovered it. A lot of parts were missing, so I began putting it back together as my wife was not ready to let it go. Fast forward to today, the Jag is mostly together but now I have found myself replacing the intake manifold gasket as well as a few other things while they are easy to get to. Any advice or tips would be appreciated. I would also welcome any tips on good sources for parts.
