We are aften asked what the difference in sound will be if you replace just the rear section of the XK8 / R exhaust system with straight through pipes in stainless steel.
One of our customers Brian has kindly provided videos of the 'Before' and 'After' sounds. Quite a diference as you will see in the two videos below.

After

Upgrade and Service your XK8 Cooling System for Just 26% More than the cost of a Water Pump from Jaguar !
XK8 XKR Parts Cooling System Great Value Service Kit
On all car engines it is vital that the cooling system is working efficiently to avoid over heating and then possible failure of head gaskets, premature wear of the crankshaft bearings etc. The Jaguar V8 4.0 Litre engine cooling system has a history of problems relating to the break up of blades in the early water pumps and the cracking of the plastic thermostat housing. Also although Jaguar says the engine coolant is 'Long Life', this should be changed every 20,000 to 30,000 miles as it will lose it's corrosion inhibitor and anti freezing qualities. Regular flushing of the system is also vital to remove the build up of contaminants that can restrict / block flow in the waterways.
If you are going to replace individual parts, why not service the other parts of the system at the same time ?.
Our great value service kit includes:
1. Correct specification coolant - 5 Litres to make 10 litres when mixed with water (either green or red)
2. Latest Spec OE Water Pump and Gasket (3 Year Warranty)
3. All Alloy Thermostat Housing including caps and seals
4. Thermostat and Seal
Special Offer Price Just = £139.75 + Shipping and VAT.
That's just 26% more than the cost of a Genuine Jaguar Water Pump !
When servicing the cooling system, it is critical that the correct specification of coolant is used either green for early cars or red for later cars. The two are different and should never be mixed. Please provide the last 6 digits of your cars chassis number so we can provide the right coolant.

XK8 AND XKR PARTS - DRIVEBELT PARTS GOOD VALUE SERVICE KIT
The Legendary Jaguar V8 engine most of us love ! was designed to be a smooth, powerful and yet quiet engine and there is nothing worse than hearing a constant squealing noise from the engine bay. If on start up and with a cold engine your XK8 or R is making the annoying noise from the front of the car then there is a good chance that this is coming from either a worn drivebelt and / or one or more of the drivebelt components. Let's face it with many cars now recording + 100K miles, all these moving parts take a constant hammering and eventually will need replacement. If you are going to all the trouble of replacing just the drivebelt then why not service the other parts of the drivebelt system as well and complete this area of the car's service history plus of course lose the annoying noise !.
On both the Jaguar XK8 and XKR, the parts are:
* Drivebelt
* Drivebelt Tensioner
* Idler Pulley
The kit we can supply consists of a high quality replacement drivebelt with the remaining parts being genuine Jaguar. If required, we can upgrade the drivebelt to a Jaguar one for an additional cost.
Prices start from just £139.75 + shipping and VAT.
When ordering please provide the last 6 digits of your car's chassis number as there are differing kit components across the XK8 / XKR / X100 chassis range.
Please note:
1. if required, we can just provide the individual kit components such as a Drivebelt if that is just what you need.
2. if living outside of the EEC countries then no VAT will be payable.
