Gus, I am new here and I have seen your web site I love it. thanks to all the great people here for the DIY people. My wife call it "Your jag class on line". If this web site was not here I may have not got my xk8. Thanks again..

I did see a loaner program in one of the clubs in UK but none here in the US

 

Well do you think management might like it?

And thank you for your kind comments about my page and you are on the right web forum. Classes start at the next post!!!

Howdy Two jags,
Here goes the first post for me on the JagForum!
Agree, VERY good reading here at the forum and on the sites in the vicinity like Gus'! Thanks!
I'm about to embark on a wheel bearing replacement excursion on my 2003 XKR, would you be interested in starting the "loaner" program by selling me the tool? Then when my bearings are done I'd hope for someone else to come along and help me get my 100$ back!
Anyways, any experience to share from your work in getting the work done on your car?

 

We rent the tool for $50. How it works: Out the door we charge $150 plus shipping. Use the tool and return it in 10 days. Once we receive it back in good condition we put $100 back on your card.

 

Thanks, that works too!

 

Ken,
What other tools do you have available for rental?

 

The timing tools and harmonic balancer removal tool the for the V8 cars. Not that anyone here would be interested but Freelander timing belt replacement tools and a block tester kit for the Rover V8 engines to check for coolant seepage between the block and piston liners.

Only item we don't rent is the V12 headpuller. It's too easily damaged.

 

Thank you Ken good to know...
