It's going to be hard to *not* drive it in the mean time, but I'm thinking better safe than sorry. Rather 5 days w/o the Jag than another eternity of a dead Jag hogging useful garage space and wishing I'd have swapped out the parts and done the right job.
I did go for a good 40 mile spin through the mountains (Western WA) today though. Oh man what a car this is with the top down and the radio cranked. That'll have to be good enough for now.
Once again, thanks to all of you.

I ordered the new tensioners today, looking forward to that project now

Cool, good result & great to see it running again. While your doing the tensioners dont forget to get a dump of the codes just to see if there's a reason for the shut down that was the start of your sorry saga (sometimes when your up to your a*$£* in alligators you forget your initial aim was to drain the swamp):-).
