Hi Bleasie, You to be able to seem to know quiet alot about cigar lighters and I presume you have checked the fuse, if so where can I find the fuse for mine? Like you I need to be able to plug a sat nav in, but the charger isn't working and I'm hoping it's just a fuse. Tooney. Silver 2001 xk8 conver...

The car was recently back into the main dealer, thankfully under warranty, to have the power fault looked at. They couldn't find any problem apart from a small air leak from a pipe, which they cut, removed the end and re-fitted, This seems to have solved the problem when tested on the same stretch o...

Hi Cheshire Cat, I've got the same model and year as you but in silver. I live in Glossop and like you, will be attending the Blackpool run for the 1st time this year. You said you were a member of other clubs, was one of these the xk8 owners club and if so what was it like? I was thinking of joinin...

Thanks Bleasie, handy to know for the future.

Thanks Bleasie, I will get round to it.

Thanks for that Pride of Lions, I was just confused over what it said on the box. The car has just been fitted with a new battery and I was just being cautious about not doing any damage, thats put my mind at ease.

I purchased a x reg 2001 model xk8 convertible in platinum silver, black roof and Oatmeal interior back in December last year and despite a few minor problems I am delighted with it. The car was purchased from a Stratstone showroom and fortunatley had a Jaguar 12 month warranty as part of the purcha...

This will be a really daft question to most of you but as you will read, I know absoloutley nothing practical about cars at all. I recently purchased an xk8 convertible but have had the battery drain after 4 or 5 days. I have obtained a trickle charger but it mentions connecting the negative to an e...
