Well done on persevering and creating a first class result for not a lot of money. Excellent.

Re: Replacement Key Fobs
Hi Peter, it depends a lot on what you mean by current fobs are in a "poor state". If they both still work with your car, then you can transfer the innards very easily to a new / cosmetically appealing case. These case only devices are very much cheaper than complete fobs, with the benefit of no pro...

Re: 2010 X150 Headliner
Hi Adam, you may be the first person to require a headliner repair / replacement on the X-150 model, but there have been plenty of folks who have already completed the X-100 model headliner. The supplier for those cars is: Headliner World, Unit 1, Lamberhurst Farm Industrial Estate, Faversham, Darga...

Re: Hi, I'm a new joiner to the club with my XK8
Hi Peter, nice new car - actually my preferred colour combination this time. I hope you have many happy miles with it. Sometimes the interplay between the car and the phone, depending on phone model, can get confused and it takes several attempts to get the phone to pair with the car. I think it bes...

Re: For Sale Four F-Type 20” Staggered Tornado Wheels With Tyres
Hi Paul, you may wish to list your wheels for sale under the correct section of the Classifieds. Folks are not really going to look in the Forums for any "For Sale" items in the longer term and one more post and your wheels disappear from the headlines of the F-type Section. You will need to be more...

Re: cleaning headlamps
The headlamp covers on the X-150 are plastic, although a very good plastic that can look like glass to some. Perhaps Linda is referring to her X-150?

Re: Facelift XJS door seal parts BEC22268 & BEC22269
Hi Steve, I would suggest you speak to Dave Roche at DCR AutoParts, if you haven't already. Dave is well versed in locating and supplying parts like you describe. It may be that a solution would be to commission one of the extrusion moulding companies to produce a pattern length of the offending sea...

Re: Rough paint on bonnet and roof
Hi Steve, it sounds like tree sap has gotten on the bonnet and rook of the car, which is okay if you catch it early, but allowed to sit for a few days in hot weather and it bakes on. Choose a small area that you can feel is rough and use Meguiar's Compound, or similar, to gently polish the offending...

Re: Parking camera not working
The fact that the whole array of sensors goes off in the cooler temperatures and returns when the car is heated up would, to me, suggest a broken connection - miniscule - on a central parameter, that contracts in the cold and expands sufficiently in the heat. It could be as simple as a broken track ...

Re: Hi, I'm a new joiner to the club with my XK8
Hi Peter, nice machine and welcome to the wonderful world of Modern XK Motoring. I would be most surprised if there is not a 12V socket in the tray of the centre console or indeed the glovebox, but you may be surprised to find that there is Bluetooth enabled within the car and you simply connect pai...

Re: Ignition on permanently?
Hi Simon, whilst it is "highly likely" that your ignition switch has failed, another potential issue could simply be shorted wires behind the switch and therefore worth pulling the switch, gently, from the dash and checking the condition of wires in the immediate vicinity. Did you know that dead spi...

Re: X150 Glove Box
Hi Nick, given the pricing on the parts website, I suspect this is a task for sourcing from a specialist Breakers, or some creative hot glue gun works!
