We have available 2 kits for the XK up to 2010. One kit is in Absolute Black and the other is in Liquid Silver. They can of course be repainted in any colour. The kits are new and have never been fitted to a car. The kit comprises Front Side Splitters Rear Vallance Side Sill Extensions Upper and Low...

Painter When you turn the ignition on does anything on the car light up? If not on the drivers side fuse box there is a 13mm nut in the top right hand corner of the box. This is holding a thick power wire. Check that this has 12 volts on it. If not check the big 500 amp fuse in the far right hand co...

Hi, I hate to say it but, unless you are very familiar with modern car electrics and canbus systems, the electrics on XK8s are not simple to work on! Without full diagnostics (either Autologic or Jaguar's own systems) you are pretty much restricted to checking and cleaning earthing points and the c...

As an addition to HeLLcat's post here are a couple of pictures of our system fitted. The first picture also shows the Start Button and Aerial switch the customer wanted fitting as an extra to the system. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa301/designxkr/ICE%20Upgrade/Copy2ofP3031893-1.jpg http://i1...

Have you had your throttle body changed under the recall?

What we have done on a couple of convertibles is to wet the roof lining and then heat it up (with a hairdryer or similar) as this often shrinks the lining back into place. If this does not work then there are strings that thread through the roof between the lining and outer roof. They can be tighten...

Thanks Nik, He was the original man but I can not get hold of him, so don't know if he is still able to do it. I think the problem when we spoke was that you wanted someone to come to you to fit the seats. We are still able to fit them at our workshop in Andover. Call on either 01264 333523 or on 07...

xkfr Welcome to the club and to the forum. As with all things car related every vehicle forum works in its own way and is dependent on the type of people using it. The "compulsory" magazine may not be to each persons taste but I find it surprising that you think it is poorly written. This club has a...

I would expect you to use very little oil over 1000 miles. Not enough to be noticeable anyway. As for the door mirrors, this is a common problem. Quite often the problem can be solved by cleaning the motor in the mirror. What happens is that the motor gets dirty and can not function correctly. If yo...

The problem with tracker systems is that they are hidden in the most obscure places, obviously as if they were easy to locate there would be no point in having one. We have found them in various places when stripping cars. If you disconnect the power distribution cables in turn (large cables that go...

Really glad you are happy with the modification. I guess you had a chance to use the lights on the way home. Amazing what a difference they make.

Nice to see you today.

Well not all independents charge that sort of money for the replacement. We charge £500 labour and £300 for the parts. Although a service was included £1600 does seem like a lot of money.

We do an upgrade package for these which include upgraded headlights and adaptor loom.

Give us a call if you are interested.

We have been told that if you use a hairdryer to gently heat the plate it may be possible to remove it without damage. That being said, we have never yet been able to remove one without damaging it. Bear in mind, we regualarly rebuild cars and replace interiors and carpets and have never managed to ...

It depends where you are buying the running lights from. You might find that they come with them already. The red running lights we supply come complete with the bulbs and holders.
