New 2001 xk8 convertible owner
Just a quick intro.
Just sold my 2005 Chevy SSR and got a great deal on the xk8. First thing I did was change tentioners (thank you forum), got a full service and put in new bluetooth sterio system. Now ready to clean up seats, conv top. Looks like I bought into a Jaguar lifestyle... Love it, hate it, fix it, (repeat).

When you spend a lot of time reading threads, you end up thinking Jaguars are always in pieces in the garage!
Tensioners was the big issue and you've already taken care of that. Next two to check are cooling system and fluid change in the "sealed-for-life" transmission.
After that, long Summer drives are waiting!
