Great video John, I’ve followed along and have done the same to my headlights. That was huge improvement. I’ve upgraded my exhaust with a Moss Motoring stainless steel unit and wow, I love the sound and growl. I did the K&N air filter too. Next up for my 2001 convertible is the EBC brake upgrade. Fantastic journey of yours I’ve followed and am loving the journey I’m having with mine. Great work, never stop keep the Jaguar vids rolling my friend, cheers!

Nice one John, have done 3 of those mostly down to TTG (haven't needed the headlamp mod). Have completed a variation on bluetooth to phone connectivity but have to agree on the brake and exhaust modifications being right up there as the best mods!!

Hi John, one of mods on MJ you were the impetus for was the the Stage 1 with the quad tips exhaust. A bit of that throaty purr just makes the cruising a tad more enjoyable. Thanks for all the ideas and tips, keep them coming. Cheers!

Interesting video John and a great reminder of some of your mods. I tracked my XKR recently and found out the standard pads couldn’t cope - though almost new I had to stop and cool them down after 10 laps of Mallory. If I do another track day will invest in Greenstuff or Yellowstuff pads first

John, as you reviewed your headlight mods, and the mention of glass vs. plastic, that the hefty vinyl headlight protectors I installed over the glass may also be useful in deterring condensation. Living in the southern US, where humidity is common but chilling conditions are less so, perhaps this would better be confirmed / denied by yourself or other subscribers, but I don't have any problem with headlight condensation in my 2005.

@@ToTheGarage yup John…I’m very proud of my 2”DIA hole and black plug with a great Jag label. It all happened because I watched your Video and said that’s a great access point! The whole process was very worthwhile as my very smelly 1997 diff oil had 127,000 of use! Some of your other mods are on my list when parts expire. When brakes need new rotors and I like the braided stainless flex hose to the brakes!

Thank you John for another great video. To the community, I have a question I am hopeful that you can help with. When I put the top down the latch on the top of the windscreen stays out, it does not retract, and the Hood Open message appears on the dash. Anyone had and solved this problem?

Sorry to have missed the live premiere. Just recovering from replacing all of the bushes on the back of the wife’s (whisper it) BMW. Managed to smash myself in the face with a ratchet, breaking my specs and mashing my hooter in the process. Ah, the joys of garage life! Now, XK8 headlamps. There’s a PITY subject if ever there was one…

Lovely to hear you reminiscing about your dad John. My dad passed away some 21 years ago and I still miss him. Today I looked at my oily, battered physhog in the mirror and saw my own dad looking back at me. So many times I remember coming in from working out on the road In front of our terraced house in Lancashire on the family car in all sorts of weathers and that mucky, grimy appearance brought it all back. Very special memories my friend. Funnily enough, it’s not my two lads that will share those memories with me but my daughter, who’s a great apprentice in the garage. Always ready with the right tool, often before you know you need it yourself. Times change!

Hi John. Just been rewatching some previous TTG videos and just noticed that you don't have a 'growler' badge on your boot lid.. I have one on my 98 convertible so just wondering if this was standard fitment? I know your car is a particularly early example and surpose in the years since they were new either yours could have been removed or mine could have been added😁

John, I love your videos. Am I right in assuming that the early XK8s are asbestos free and safe to work on. I know the UK banned asbestos in 1999 but when did Jaguar stop using asbestos.

Question..... the windows on my convertible XK8R pop down when I open the doors, but forget to pop back up when the doors are shut - gradually work their way down. I've reset them 'full up' by holding the button down till I hear that click, but they don't hold the memory. Is this a common problem? any advice welcome please. David, New Zealand

Well after winning my 2001 XK8 convertible on eBay 2 years ago, I finally have all the mechanics sorted out and the car is running great, "knock on wood".... not a speck of rust on this body and the underneath is really really nice for as many miles is on it which is 143,000 but it came from Florida so it's a rust free car and did not see many bad roads. But it's registered up in Pennsylvania now where it will most likely be spending the rest of its life, I don't see me ever selling it. So with that said I have to be careful with it, as we have terrible roads in Pennsylvania highways and side streets are all horrible. Our government sucks and they don't take care of anything. And we get harsh Winters up here and they use a lot of salt so this car will not see any winter driving. But if you would like to see a picture of it John let me know where I could post it for you... I don't know if you have a Facebook account and would like to accept my friendship. On Facebook I am Carlo Rizzo Sr. Actually in life that's who I am LOL
