New Member Saying "Hi"
New member here, just purchased a Carnival Red, 2001, XJ8 Vanden Plas. 69,000miles
So new-to-me I haven't even taken any pics yet, here are some from the sales ad.
Things I intend to do.
1) Timing chains/tensioners
2) Stainless mesh grill inserts
3) One of those expensive gear selector knobs with a Jaguar head on it.

Welcome ! Car looks a treat & here's the best IMO custom Jaguar shifter knob artist around.

Also of note, Galaxy has a plethora of vintage Jag parts @ great rates, my associate scored a mint set of of the grill mesh inserts for $70 last year.

Welcome indeed, that color is wonderful!
I hope you will enjoy your VDP as much as I do enjoy mine.
Then, take your time to work through the work it (probably) needs, which is a bit more than only the tensioners.
Check hoses (specially those in the valley), replace the thermostat (even if it works now), change the thermostat tower for an alloy one, change liquids, and plan for a transmission oil refresh, plus a new solenoid.
Then I am sure I forgot some other issues, but this forum will tell you all about them.
