Hey,
Just bought an old 2000 Jaguar XK8 Convertible. Thanks to this forum I knew about the plastic idlers, guides and water pump parts prior to buying and used them for negotiating.
I have replaced timing chains and idlers on other vehicles and plan on doing on the Jaguar also. Has anyone done it themselves? If you could point me to a good tutorial on it or give me some advise I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Thanks for the advise.

 

It's always good to have some leverage when buying anything, but especially an 18 year old Jaguar; or any other 18 year old car for that matter. Congratulations on your successful deal.

Enjoy the Jag and these playpens, lots of fun to be had.
