I just moved to Houston from Los Angeles (I promise I'm not here to CALcify you... I'm a CA refugee!)

And assumed it would be easy enough to pick up a tensioner pulley for my 1998 XK8 at short notice lol boy was I wrong!

Still waiting for most places to return my call and practically got laughed off the phone by the main *******s... In the end I have had to order one online which is coming from Glendale CA of all places.
Are there any secret places to find old Jaguar parts around here?

Ah well I still love it here so far, I can enjoy the weather with the top down in my imobile Jag :-)

 

Not in Houston, but in Texas. Used parts....

But yeah, I've ordered quite a few parts from Moss Motors in California.
