Hi,
I contacted Jaguar to check which tensioner was installed in my 2002 XKR and find below their answer>>
Greetings from Jaguar Land Rover Customer Relationship Centre.
After reviewing your case with the engineering team at Jaguar Land Rover MENA, and from the information available, I was notified that according to the VIN details you had provided and on the basis that this vehicle didnt have any major engine work or engine replacement, then your 2002 XK was fitted with the later aluminium timing chain and supporting tensioners.
These modifications where introduced at VIN Number A24195 Built 11/07/2001 onwards.
Hope this helps.

If your manufacture date from the door frame label says 07/01, you most likely have the plastic tensioners as the engine was almost certainly built before that.
Only sure way to tell is to pull a cam cover and look.
