What did you do to your X308 Today?
#1461
Replaced the next set of timing chains on an X308... Again a 4.0l with VVT and all worked out purr-fectly!
Purrs like a new car. No rattle, chime, ahatter or what so ever... And all tensioners and guides had cracked - car was from 1999. Again a good job replacing all the parts and not only the upper tensioners.
3rd set of chains done since January

Thanks! If it is for spark plug - I would expect 8 of them. There is one of this kind for the whole set, real small, about 5mm inner diameter. I think
jimlombardi called it 'Oil tube O ring' in this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...eed-how-81632/ Will look for this 'oil tube'. Cheers!

a few vids I shot today that shows the look a bit too, having fun with vinyl before new paint, wife hates it but hot wheels fans seem to enjoy. Oh yah she is in limp mode at the moment due to programming so 3rd gear take off, no "real" drive off sound yet

Only before/after accurate lighting comparison I could accomplish a few vids I shot today that shows the look a bit too, having fun with vinyl before new paint, wife hates it but hot wheels fans seem to enjoy.

Brg should look great, i'll have a kit fit to the front indicators of a silver X100 XKR soon so we can get an idea of how that tint contrasts with lighter colors too. New brg paint is exciting i cant decide if I want to be safe and respray black , "risk" a french racing blue, or do some sort of metallic dark blue. My buddy wants me to try orange, I don't think it would be a good look on an x308 but you never know

Received notice today that my bodykit is ready for shipment in Japan, painted in the final color (or so I hope), just need to arrange transport.
Now I can start dreaming the modern look of the grand old XJ40 Chasseur's, medium rims, large tires, spoilers and skirts all around, but not too eye-catching.
We will see ....

Picked up a perfect match burl wood shifter off E-Bay, was a steal @ 65$. Had been hunting the correct color & pattern, it finally emerged lol. Recently added bezels,new bulbs to my dash so we should be sitting proper real soon. Pics will be posted after detailing.
If you're in the market for a quality handmade shifter @ a great rate, look for E-Bay user "zahnieblack".
