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

Welcome to the forum Mike,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I see you have already posted this question in XK/XKR (X150) forum. X150 is the later aluminium bodied model - I've moved your post to XK8/XKR (X100) forum.

Follow this link
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/ to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
