XK8 2001 Tensioners

Hi,
The secondary chain tensioners are handed left and right. Which is right and left on the engine. I assume its right as viewed from the front of the car.

The universal standard when working on automobiles is right and left are from the point of view of a driver seated in the car, NOT as viewed from the front of the car.

Welcome to the forum Grafton,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum. Although Steve has already answered your question, this is the place to post further questions about your model. Given you are doing tensioners, there could be a few!

When you get a minute, please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see.

In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Graham
