Hi everybody, This seems to be more of an issue than I first thought. See my post...Leak from windscreen header on xk8. Maybe we should get all the posts together so we can find out how many times this has happened, maybe members with full service history will have this repair logged. Just a thought...

Thank you Mike, I hope so although I did buy the car as a summer project
thanks again.
