Jaguar XK8 XKR XJ8 Tool Hire Service

Hopefully some jobs you need to do on your XK8 or R will only need to be done once whilst the car is in your ownership such as Engine Timing Chains and Tensioners, Front wheel bearings, Spring replacement etc. However, the cost of buying the special Jaguar tools required for the job will in many cases be more than the cost of the parts !. Tools can obviously be sold on but for many owners these expensive tools will be sat in the back of the garage for years and may never to be used again.

For this reason Dave Roche @ XK8 and XKR Parts can now offer a tool hire service with the objective of reducing the overall cost of repairs for Jaguar XK8 and R owners.

We are just starting off with a selection of the most common tools required for the XK8 and XKR’s but can quickly expand this if there is sufficient demand for other tools needed.

Please contact dave@xk8parts.com to confirm your requirements and to order.

XK8 and XKR Parts Wind Deflectors for Jaguar XK8 and XKR Convertibles

XK8 XKR Parts - Wind Deflector for Convertible

When driving for some time with the soft top down in the northern hemisphere countries, it’s no surprise that exposure to the cold elements can make you feel tired and weary after your journey. So much so that the soft top is often only taken down on warm days. Wind deflectors can help here and are available to fit the XK8 and XKR convertible models from 1996 to 2005.

Without one, driver and passenger will experience wind blown hair and here in the UK potentially a degree of exposure to the elements to say the least !!. If the wind can be deflected then more heat can be retained in the cockpit making driving with the top down much more frequent and comfortable even in winter. May even allow your hair to look in a reasonable state after a journey !.

Features and benefits are:

1. Cockpit heat retention on cold days
2. Improved sound / acoustics
3. No restriction to visibility
4. Deflection of air currents when high speed cruising
5. Can remain fitted with the roof up
6. Can be easily un clipped for fast removal

The latest wind deflectors are made of high quality materials / parts and come with complete fitting instructions for your XK8 / XKR convertible.
