There is a problem with the OEM air inlet pipe on early XK8's. Mine is a 1999. The inlet pipe rests directly on the valve cover. After time, the engine vibration and heat cool cycles deteriorate the…Continue

Doctor Color Chip
Posted on April 2, 2012 at 12:03pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
The Carnival Red color of my XK8 affords me the recognition of any small paint defect. The primer is light grey so small road rash is very apparent below the grill line. I used the dr color chip this weekend and was amazed at how well the product worked. It did not level the chip marks but the color match was spot on. You cannot see them from 5 feet away. If you are a foot away you can see the imprint but the color is perfect. The application is just as shown in the video on the website. I…

I was pleased on October 17th when I drove past the kiosk at Sugarland Town Square and saw that the Houston Jaguar Club was going to have their 34th Concours d’Ellegance there the next weekend. Town Square is 5 miles from my house. Now I could look into the event that Rob and Bleasie have so highly mentioned in their writings here on MJL. I looked at the Houston Jaguar Club website and found the application to enter. They have Champion, Driven and Display…

Joseph,
Many thanks for the welcome. I have only had the car a couple of weeks so am getting to know it and its idiosyncracies. But already, I am enjoying it.

Try the satellite view and you can get a birds eye view though.

OK Joseph, this is getting too funny now.
The moral of the story is "DON"T TRUST GOOGLE EARTH"
