I've just replaced the rear glass on my 1997 coupe after an attempted break-in but they ? have ripped the oatmeal trim where it meets the rear quarter glass. Can I buy the leather only ? or does anyone know where I can obtain the panel as a used part ?
Appreciate any help .

thanks...Bruce

Sounds like I should be using BKR6EVXA-11's or equivalent. Just found information in Jaguar owners handbook (Car care, specifications 6-1) saying BKR5E-11 (standard plug) is recommended where leaded fuel is used.

I have a 1997 XK8 & recently purchased it. It was serviced 2000kms ago (1400 miles ?) & I have discovered that the garage put standard plugs in it NGK BKR5E-11...V-power.

seems a bit OTT? to replace the shaft also. My 'Jurid' is tearing and I thought I should replace it. The local supplier can get one but the Jaguar dealer in Wellington is not very helpful & simply takes parts orders & then orders from the UK adding a surcharge on top of all the other charges (shippi...

I need to replace the rotoflex on my 1997 XK8...Is it the same part as the coupling on the 4.0 XJ8 ? Is it a fairly straightforward job? as I have ordered a repair CD but hasn't arrived yet.

Thanks mike for the welcome..Im very new to this forum stuff but should be very useful for advice & contact

Fitrst impressions......what a great club ! We're a bit isolated down here regarding XK8's so pleased to make contact with the world. I even live in the 'wop wops' (out bush & up in the hills) and Auckland is 9 hours drive from here. Bought a superb 1997 XK8 coupe, Titanium & Oatmeal with original 1...
