Hopefully some jobs you need to do on your XK8 or R will only need to be done once whilst the car is in your ownership such as Engine Timing Chains and Tensioners, Front wheel bearings, Spring replacement etc. However, the cost of buying the special Jaguar tools required for the job will in many cases be more than the cost of the parts !. Tools can obviously be sold on but for many owners these expensive tools will be sat in the back of the garage for years and may never to be used again.

For this reason Dave Roche of DCR AutoParts can now offer a tool hire service with the objective of reducing the overall cost of repairs for Jaguar XK8 and R owners.

We are just starting off with a selection of the most common tools required for the XK8 and XKR’s but can quickly expand this if there is sufficient demand for other tools needed.
