You didn't mention wether or not you are DIY or going to have it done. Regardless I think you are on borrowed time. I just changed my upper ones and put lots of pictures on the forum. Suggest a search unter my call sign. It has been reported that the primary ones do give some noise warning. And like test point says there is a big jump in labor and special tools are definitely a big requirement.
With all that said there was an XK8 that came into a shop near where I live after failure at 74,000 miles that resulted in a bill of $8,500.00. This was a good quality independent shop. So Don't delay. There was also a recent post showing pictures of the upper tensioners that were still working but falling apart with pieces gone. He was very lucky.
