Default John Dee is the man

Totally agree and I subscribed to John Dee’s To The Garage Youtube channel.

There are 5 great sources of info for our car (listed below in no particular order)

1. This forum
2. Gus’s jagrepair.com website
3. Rev Sam Youtube tutorials aka sam1174
4. John’s To The Garage Youtube channel
5. frankc’s On going blog on another Jag forum

if you have a problem, there’s always someone who’s fixed it previously. It’s just a question of searching for it.

He has some great info, and his procedures are "Disgustingly" Complete. After watching some, I have gone out, torn down parts of my car, and redone them, just to clean them up to his standards. Very concise in his work.

sam1174 - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAg...4gqcsWPF9JyaYg
to the garage - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT2...9dtTi2qvbQNEdQ

General not xk8 - but I love this channel and the authors website

Thanks for this video, enumerating the somewhat bewildering array of XK8 wheels. Now I finally know what my wheels are called, after owning my XK8 for nearly four years.

Love the videos from all of the community. Not sure how you guys do it! Between the family and work, all I've been able to do is record live video while doing repairs but I'll "get a round to it" (editing) sometime! Glad for this community
