Hank,

I hope you find a road to get the XK8 up to speed. Twenty years since I was last in Bangkok and I don't imagine the traffic is any less frantic now!

Hi Graham,

More roads and highways have been built since then. Still traffics in Bkk are notoriously known. Sunday is good for a little spin but not on a daily basis. Simply falling in love with the lines and curves of this little cat. Such sumptuous and intoxicating sexy. Will keep the car and pass on yo family members.

Hi, can anyone from the UK suggests of any reputable part suppliers for my xk8 1997. I need to buy a few things to upgrade...ie timing belt tensioner (replying the plastic one), aluminum water pump housing kit ( replacing the plastic one), shock absorbers for front and rear. They will need to be sent to BKK, Thailand.

Also ignition coils for my x300

Thank u.

The headquarters of forum sponsor S N G Barratt is in the UK:

SNG Barratt - The Ultimate Jaguar Parts Specialist

You can download their XK8 and X300 parts catalogues or browse online.

A well established company with a good reputation.
