Purchase advise

I am considering the purchase of a 2005 XK8 convertible with 45,000 miles and am wondering if I should be concerned with the same issues of the earlier v8s such as timing chain tensioners or tranny repairs. I have a 99 xj8L with 40,000 miles and am familiar with early timing chain tensioner issues and nikilsil lining issues. Thanks Jim

Eventually it will be necessary. You have to remove a lot of the interior to replace the lines. While that may appear daunting it really is only a number of simple things. Just takes time and that is why the dealers get $1200 - $1300 for the labor and parts. The two lines are only about $200 of that.
There are a couple private efforts underway to spec out much greater capability in replacement hoses. Check with Gus on his web site. http://www.gusglikas.com/autorepair.htm
