Hi my name is mzhotrod aka Mike. I own two Jaguars a 2002 XKR Convertible and a 1999 XK8 Coupe. Many years ago I owned a 66 XKE convertible and have regretted selling it. So I was happy when I was able to purchase the XKR and XK8. Wonderful cars to drive. Unfortunately the XKR developed a crack in the radiator and I cannot figure out how to separate the radiator from the condenser. Any advice would be appreciated because I really want to get back to driving it. I was fortunate buying the coupe because I got it from a mechanic that had just replaced the engine with a 2002, so I don't have to worry about the timing chain tensioners or the plated cylinders. I can just enjoy driving it. Yes I did pull of the cam covers and checked just to make sure and put in new gaskets.

Thanks
