New Oil Change with Mobil1 and a Mann filter (they make the filters for Jag)
New Air Filter (simply turned tire hard left and removed the inner wheel well liner, took 20 minutes..)
New Cabin Air Filter (why cant the regular air filter be this easy, questioning this in a convertible though)
New Bosch Iridium Plugs (this wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, driver rear being the hardest, but nothing a swivel and few extensions cant solve)
New Front Brake Pads, was going to change the back too but they still had 75% of the pad left in comparison to the new ones.
New Brake Fluid (Pentosin DOT4+)

I also hand tightened and then torqued the wheel lugs, instead of using the air gun like the previous tire monkeys did..

While I was at it, I changed the oil, and filters in the Benz too...

 

Busy Busy...
Several of those are on my to do list as well...

Havent looked at my manual yet, but need to flush the brakes ASAP. Is the '07 DOT4. (was hoping it might be DOT5 compatable).... 4 is acceptable as I use Superblue... Just curious...

Very nice....I see you have a W211. I kinda miss mine.

 

I wonder how often we should be changing spark plugs in these XKs? Mine is an 08 and I think the original plugs are still okay.

 

With Iridums, I inspect and re-gap at 25k, and normally replace at about 50k unless the inspection shows me some trouble spots that need close watching.

Normal plugs go about 20k
