Bought a 2001 XK8 Burberry with about 18,250 miles. It seems to be in excellent condition. I am new and wonder are there things I should be looking out for? I know that the engine used plastic timing chain tensioners that should be changed to metal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
I think there is a guide in the XK8/R section, but tensioners, water pump and thermostat housing are aways popular.

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Norri's listed the main culprits to check but at eleven years old and only 18,250 miles, it should be in excellent condition.

Enjoy it.
