Re: Fuel System
The pump is attached to a bracket with a 10mm bolt, this you will need to undo and catch before it drops to the bottom. The whole unit then lifts out with the fibre bag filter attached. I fitted a Am with no problems, difficult to fit bolt so cut a small piece off it so it slide back in place. It is...

Re: XK8 GEARBOX RELATED CLONK - New post
Hi, sounds a little like my problem. I have a 1999 xk8 with 120k on the clock, I had the oil flushed and filter change as soon as I bought at around 110k. The main problem I have is after a fast run and slowing quickly to a stop, when I then go to pull away again it seems to be in too high a gear fo...

Re: Petrol pumps failure
SHE LIVES!!!! :D On my MY99XK we replaced the single pump tonight through the hole in the parcel shelf,and after 9 months not running started immediately. Very tight to access and to enable the pump to be located we cut a bit from the mounting hole so the bolt was located before sliding the pump ont...

Re: Petrol pumps failure
Have already removed the parcel cover and have access - very tight and as you said you double jointed. Will try this way first when the new pump arrives.
I have only a single pump as it is a MY99.

Re: Petrol pumps failure
Thanks Mike K, even though the post is from 2015 still got the fuel pump at £65. Just need to fit it now!
Still on track to get it back on the road for Classic Le Mans.

Re: new car/old XK8/old problems
Not sure where in Cornwall you are, just over the border near Okehampton is James Tennant who now has a Jaguar mechanic.
Just make sure you get a quote before he carries out the work, I got stung when he changed my g/b oil and filter!

Cubby Box for xk8
I have removed the phone and discovered that the cubby has a big hole, the replacement also has this hole, is it possible to get a cubby with no holes to the bottom at all?

Re: Dashcam
I have the DDpai M6plus fitted in my Disco, it is small without a screen that I found distracting on the previous one. It fits behind the mirror so does not block the view. It connects to my smart phone for playback and settings, it also has an emergency button you can fit anywhere in the car so if ...

MJA4560BE - wrong illustration
Hello all,
Take care if ordering the hose from the themostat to the expansion tank, the illustration states it is MJA4560DB but 16 is actually MJA4560BE.
MJA4560DB is part 8 in the ilustration that I now have as a spare!

Re: Wheel torque and dodgy alignment
The track rod ends need to be adjusted to centre the wheel. The alignment could be fine, as you adjust 1 track rod end, you compensate on the other.
Normally the wheel is centred and then held in position till the tracking is finished ensuring it is as you want.

Re: Key Fob
Hi Ian, I have a 1999 xk8 and when I purchased it last year it was completely flat. I did not look at the fob for several months and when I did it had 2 * DL2016 piggy backing on top of each other. I put in the new DL2032 and it worked immediately. There is a procedure for setting the fob which I wi...
