Hi all, as a recent returnee to the Jaguar owner community I'm looking forward to engaging with the forum particularly as I tackle my semi-retirement project, a '97 XK8. I picked up a low kilometre sport last weekend in sapphire (the Geneva show launch colour) and am about to tackle the front end given no record of timing chain tensioners having been done, and signs of a failing water pump....so will fit a new drive belt tensioner into the bargain as well. Looking to stay as original as I can while trying to bring her back into the 'right' condition! Take care out there, hope you are all staying well in these interesting times for the world.

 

Welcome aboard Dave from South of the border....good luck!
