By the way this Alpine sterio changes all the button colours. There is an easy way to change the main buttons only plus a more complicated menu driven way to change them all to multiple colours.

Good Luck

Does not the 117Ri head Unit allow you to change the buttons to green back lighting? Or are you looking to change the screen LEDs to green?

:D Keep us all posted on progress. Mike. Mike Kit to raise and lower roof with remote arrived. It was a complete kit with all parts included I just added tools and fitted in about 3 hours. Its the first in the UK, or so I'm told. So I took it to Chatsworth House today for South Yorkshire regions Pi...

In the dark winter months without this BB I have been looking at other Jaguar Forums and came across an ingenious upgrade from the Jag sat Nav to garman. So I thought I would share this link as some of you may wish to carry this out. http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-17/mega-nav-upgrade-deta...

Thanks for the BST correction I'll look at that now.

My 1999 hood does not come down using the fob, I have to use the button near the gear stick or the key in the door.

Mike Nice to see the web site back, wondered if it would ever happen, during the cold Yorkshire winter! Though on a positive note the break allowed me to use other Jag forums where I found among other things:- A device to control the roof of your cabrio using your existing remote (getting one and ca...

I too wanted to improve the sound quality, so for £100 the local exhaust garage's stainless steel fabrication man cut the exhaust off in front of the back boxes and replaced with a through :lol: pipe, fixing the origonal exhaust caps on the end. The noise is just right and yet another good reason to...

I have checked the Vin on the car and its the same as the one I sent earlier.
Thanks for trying though.

For the record its a T reg 99 naturally aspirated 4 l cabrio in metrorite silver/gray with a leather interior in a cream type colour.

NIK

Thanks for the response. The VIN is correct I just wonder is the 0 is a zero or a letter o.

Could you please provide the details for my car VIN SAJJGAFD3AH037927

Having read the article on page 82 of July's magazine I would like to know if any other XK8 owners have fitted one of these "hydrogen cell" systems and the results. I am a fan of alternative fuel systems as I converted my X300 to LPG and saved a fortune. But I now only do 5000 miles a year and at £2...

Dear HOT92 Thanks for tha,t I have now fitted the badge as you said. Now I have just got to find a plate that does not crease / lift after a few days on.
