Hello All, thought i would sign up and say Hi (plus im doing the chain tensioner job this week and the advice would come in handy)

Anyway Im chris and have a number of "different" cars one of which is a 1998 XK8 - fantastic car in red with cream leather, engine runs well but i have followed advice and checked the tensioners (they are the plastic orange ones) so its the first job to do

regards chris (uk midlands, northants)

Thanks for the Upgrade Jim, and thanks to all the rest for the kind welcome -
going to do the tensioners this weekend, it looks like an easy job with the tie method (fingers crossed)

best regards chris

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
