Well I have looked through most of the high mileage posts ,and there is little said about engines .
There is however quite a lot about 6 speed gearboxes/transmissions what do I look and listen for.
Another thing my doors window seals the rubber is lifting with some sort of powder substance underneath?
Are new window surround hard or expensive to source.
thanks bob

Yes and yes, but they can be refurbished at home with a little patience. Search 'Dorchester Gray' in the XK8/R forum and you should find several links discussing this.

Keith Westra did his Dorchester Gray window seals and I followed the same technique to do the Satin Black ones on my (then) 2005 XK8. Both are detailed in this thread:

When I discovered replacements for my 4.2-S were £400+, refurbishment looked instantly more attractive.

This Parts Catalogue extract could make it easier to identify the trim:

I think it must be item 2 .It shows up quite clear in the Pic. The rubber is distorted and there appears to be oxidation to the pillar under the seal. Both front and rear horizontals have been changed .

I'd expect this Seal Retainer (item 2) to be a similar aluminium & rubber construction to the Waist Rail although, as I've always had Coupes, I haven't closely examined this part on a Convertible.
If so, the white oxide will be due to the same poor priming by the manufacturer and you should be able to refurbish it in a similar manner.

If you look at the photo its the seal with lumps and bumps on it,
I can not find it on ebay as I don't know its parts no or correct description

You will need to tie into a permenantly connection for your solar cell.
I am also pretty sure it is the passenger side fuse box, but it should be #14.
