Hey Madmax, MickT and Mr D ,

thanks for the advice guys, I think it will be a 4.2 - everything I research points towards that ...

Madmax (jon), your Jag looks amazing and I'm 50 next year so you're not alone in the midlife crisis thingy !!  (7 Disco's eh ??!!  - impressive ) :)

Hi everyone,

My name's John and I'd like to buy a XK8 soon... can I ask advice on whether to go for a 4.0 litre and get any work done (I've researched timing chains, water pumps etc) or spend the most I can on a 4.2 litre ??  are they that much better in terms of improvements ?

I'd really appreciate some pointers and if anyone knows a good service specialist in the Brighton area for when I'm ready, even with history I'd like it looked at ?

thanks guys
