New Jag owner here. The first of many post is my guess. I have a XK8 2001 with 129k. FIrst question are Jaguar OEM Parts worth the cost? I know somethings probable are. Specifically Struts and strut mounts. While I'm on the subject are there kits that come with the strut, spring, and mount already assembled? I've seen them for other cars but so far have not located one for the XK8. Second question. In the manual that was obviously written 17 years ago. It states that hooking up any kind of code reader other than one supplied by Jaguar could disable the car is this true?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum mscott,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
The question of OE or aftermarket depends on the particular parts you need. Genuine Jaguar parts are often available from our sponsors at considerably lower prices than the dealer network. Secondly, you can safely connect other code readers to your XK8.
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/ to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the US Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...rn-midwest-67/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
