Finally building up the courage to peek under the valve cover to see if my Jag has the updated timing chain tensioners made of metal or the suicidal OE tensioners made of cheese and crackers.....

Ha I know what you mean... I was so tempted to leave it and hope for the best! And I tried every stalker trick to find the previous owner and find out from them!

@texocat I've just bought a 2001 XKR today! No paper work to say these have been done, the car had not been started for over 6 months. I put a fresh battery on and it started right up, no noise, very smooth. So that's something at least?? Having watched this video if it's that easy to whip the valve cover off to check I think I will do this ASAP. I did drive the car home which was only 10 minutes along the road and it felt really nice, I didn't want to gun it but I put my foot down a bit a few times and it felt great. But these tensioner are a worry. The car has only done 64k as well

Theres a guy on you tube QDR i think that shows the whole process. watching him a few times has given me the confidence to tackle it. He's spot on and will reply to your queries. his name is Damian.

I had metal timing chain tensioners - ONLY! = I snapped a top chain (somehow??) and, after getting in there, the long chain guides / tensioners were NOT replaced ££loads of
