I have owned a 2003 XK8 4.2 convertable Pacific blue for just over 12 months and is my every day car.The reason I chose a 4.2 was get away from the Nicaseal and tensioner problems. Since purchasing the car from a Jaguar main dealer its had its usual silly little faults and to be fair where sorted by the main dealer,I have how ever put a few mod cons of my own.I bought from the JEC a rear tail pipe exhaust system, it did away with the rear box and is a straight pipes with polished trims and its sounds what I would call a sports car sound,also I have wired up the running lights ,I first changed the orange reflectors to clear ones and to stay within the law which no one seems to know much about other than it may be a mot failure but it depends were you go , fitted chrome bulbs which show a orange light when lit and in my opinion go well with the blue.If we get a better summer next year. I intend to go on more runs in the car its a fantastic feeling with the hood down nice music cruising down a few country roads. I do intend maybe next year to change the grill for a stainless steel one and also lower the number plate. I also own a 1988 XJS Coupe. For my sins I am the events organiser for the JEC Central Region enough of my ramblings ,I will save for another day.Michael Cool Dude
