Hi Justin, Glad you fixed problem. I did not know you could buy a kit and do this yourself. Always thought that it had to be done by a garage. Good to know. Regards, Julie.

Hope they can help John😊

Hi Michael, Not great service from the dealership. Personally I would not accept their offer. To check where you stand legally are you an AA or RAC member? their legal teams are very good. There are a number of parts supplier such as https://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk/car-parts/Jaguar/XJ?gclid=CjwKCAjwjtOTBhAvEiwASG4bCGBn0yaJxq3CbzPTjQCrKpcdrBqZc92VEPIS6BLiVMQQgCa56jSLIxoC0JMQAvD_BwE https://www.autoreservejaguar.com/ I hope you can sort it out. Kind Regards, Julie.

Hi john, Not sure on XJ but in general usually Cams are recommended to be changed either every 4 - 5 years or or between 40 - 100k. Probably does not need it but I would just ere on the side of caution. Kind Regards, Julie.

Hi John, There is a site called Viking Tapes they have a number of tapes here is one. may be worth a look? Kind Regards, Julie. https://www.vikingtapes.co.uk/collections/fire-retardant-double-sided-tapes

Hi Marie, Welcome to Jaguar Owners club.😊 Kind Regards, Julie.

I know John, it was an article on another clubs site. They had a special offer for members it was reduced to £700 for a few days, some company in Telford.

Thank you both for your help. The Ceramic coating I found was £1400! Kind Regards, Julie.

Hi, has anyone had their car treated with a full ceramic coating? Is it worth while? does it offer protection if your car is kept outside like mine? Thank you. Julie.

Hi Hastings basically accused me of trying to defraud them. I had problems with the web site. It kept sticking and going back to last page etc The wrong info went through. I rang to tell them and was cross examined as though i had done something wrong. The mistakes that went through would have actually meant I would have paid more for my insurance not gained by it. I pointed this out but rude unhelpful staff said you gave us wrong details as though I had done this on purpose. I cancelled the insurance being so annoyed by this. No apology just a letter claiming they had cancelled the Insurance due to me supplying wrong information! My Neighbour had cancelled a policy told he owed nothing else, he actually confirmed this and they said no nothing owed. Then had letter saying he needed to pay money owed. He complained but had the same unhelpful and could not careless attitude from the staff.

Hi Stephen, Welcome to Jaguar Owners Club. i know when i bought a car that had been standing a few years, had to replace all brake pipes. I did find this article, may be of help about an XK8 that had been standing five years. Kind Regards, Julie None of these items will prevent the car from starting, but they may contribute to keep the engine running once you start it. - Take a close look at the serpentine belt for cracks on the outside. (Belts that sit for a long time in one position can harden and crack.) - Check the oil level in the engine. (If it looks dirty or sludgy, you might drain a quart or 2 of oil and put in some new oil before attempting to start) (Of course plan on changing the oil and filter once it is running.) - Check all the other fluid levels. Coolant and power steering. - Other things that you wont be able to see until the engine starts is that the water pump seal may have become dried out and cracked, and may leak after the engine has been started. To a lesser degree, oil seals/gaskets in the engine can dry out and start leaking. Before electronic ignition/fuel injection, I used to pull off the distributor cap coil wire, so the engine wouldn't try to start, and then crank the engine until I saw oil pressure. These days, that is harder to do, so It might be wise to put a socket wrench on the crank damper nut and manually turn over the engine to be sure it isn't frozen. - If you are paranoid and want a conservative lowest risk approach, you could pull all the spark plugs, and put a little engine oil into each cylinder, let it sit for an hour or so, then first hand crank the engine with the plugs out to be sure a cylinder isn't frozen due to moisture condensation. (If all is well, the engine should easily turn over with out the plugs in.) If the engine turns freely, then crank it over long enough to generate some oil pressure and push out the oil you put in the cylinders. If all is well, put the plugs back in and try starting it.
