Default Hi I'm Bradley 2001 XK8 Coupe "Princess"

Hi all, I just bought an immaculately taken care of 2001 xk8 coupe with 56800 miles on it and I love it! I get a lot of compliments and occasionally the unwelcome racers!

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to best get the dreaded secondary tensioners replaced. Not sure if it has them or if the first owner had them replaced or not.

Welcome to the forum,

Pull the covers and check what tensioners you have in there ASAP.

yeah, it's my only form of transportation so I'm a bit hesitant to take off the cover! I was thinking of buying some tensioners off ebay and having these guys do it:
BRITISH CARS U.S.A - Specialize on all late model British Cars
have to see I can't believe the original previous owner didn't have it done though with his warranty.
