When changing the transmission oil in my 1999 XK8 I, like everyone else who has done this, encountered the problem with an extremely HOT exhaust pipe making removing and reinstalling the fill plug difficult. I found a simple remedy. I bought some 2" wide, 5' long exhaust wrap off eBay. Just wrap it around the exhaust pipe, and it will insulate the exhaust pipe making the job burn-free. I was able to remove and replace the plug with my bare hands without burning myself.
