Thanks Gary👍

Z :x

marks toy box . You are welcome. Thanks for viewing

Excellent Tip Marc. Thank you very much. That may work its way into a future video👍

You are welcome pal👍

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

Its on the list Martyn. But its a long list (im pleased to say)

Glad I could help and well done on your fixes. I recon you have saved £200+ with dealer

robert McCloskey That’s a lot of thank yous Robert.😊 It’s literally my pleasure. I love finding out this stuff myself. Passing it on to my new friends via the you tube channel, is a great bonus for me. The ability to reset the windows is something that should be on a sticker on the sun visor really. A)Practically every owner will need it. B)Most will never guess it. Thanks for taking the time to comment👍

Thanks for sharing! sounds like you need a bespoke Car with a well in the floor for the seat to sit in Swansong 007. 👍

@@ToTheGarage I have my other dream car now, (just 2 weeks) the Lexus SC430. 2005. Convertible. V8 4.3 Ltr. 49,000 miles so, very low mileage car, in top condition. + Lots of headroom for me this time. ! Wish you owned one too so I could learn about it like I am with the XK8.

Hi Kit Kat. If they are memory mirrors then the memories will need to be re taught. The other feature of the control via joystick should be fine. I would suspect a dirty/dodgy joystick if you are getting intermittent/ irrational movement.

Thats not very professional of them Rob. Not Jag folk I take it.

Did you eventually clear your issue with this video? Cheers

Glad to help

Thanks Gary👍

Thanks beannie60

Glad it helped A N Thanks for watching👍

Not currently Alti Davis but you may have given me an idea😉

Thanks for this John. I was not aware but it makes absolute sense. (it may pop up as a secret!)

Hi Patrick. No silver. bullet unfortunately. But the two most common simple causes are a sticky sport button or a dirty MAF sensor

Sounds like you have seat memory functions specified on your car. Try pressing buttons 1 or 2 around the door handle. One may move the seat a more convenient position to aid removal. Secondly, I did a video or two on how to remove a stuck seat that has covered up its mounting bolts. Here is a link. part 1 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ac-XraxqypqteZc.html part 2 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9B2nKmI0afThac.html

@@ToTheGarage thank you, unfortunately the memory button is funky too, it moved it at one point, but it wont move it anymore. The one that moves the steering wheel works sometimes. I'll watch the other videos I appreciate the help

Does the window drop at all when you open the drivers door?

Hi Robert. Short of taking it to a hydraulics firm for a pressure test I am unaware of a specific test you could do. There are two issues that primarily affect the roof. (many others will, of course, be possible) The big one is that the hydraulic lines can fail/push themselves off their unions. This happens most commonly in the hood latch mechanism in the top of the windscreen frame. Its a known fault but is not very common in UK or similar climates. It tends to be associated with cars that have been baked in the sun for years and the heat has done its worst on the hoses in this very hot spot. Check around the interior mirror interior lights and headlining in this area for any signs of current or previous Oil. The 2nd is the Oil in the pump reservoir itself. Early cars had issues with the oill congealing (I think up to 2003?) This can either cause the hood latch to jamb up or the pump to work harder than intended and keep blowing fuses. The oil used later was a better grade and no issue. If you do get an earlier car then it might be worth putting a hood oil change on the to-do list. Just ensure that you run the roof through a couple of cycles. before you buy. About 15 seconds to operate is quite normal as is a delay of about 3 seconds after depressing the button before anything much happens. Normal operation is very quiet indeed and almost inaudible on my car if the engine is running The majority of owners though will have no issues with their hood. It is certainly one of the highest quality automated soft tops that has been used on a mainstream car. Enjoy the search and I hope you enjoy your eventual purchase. John

You’re welcome 😊

What do the fuses in question do?

Thanks Dan R I will do some more investigating. The pattern shows it to be undeniably a magnetic field related issue. But you certainly have a really valid point. hmmmmm? leave it with me.🤔

Hi Mac. has the impact sensor been tripped or has got corroded terminals? Its in the left hand end of the dashboard. The black rubber top is the reset. I would assume you are using a genuine Jaguar black key with a transponder chip inside it and that it has worked previously. Has someone tried to steal it? If so has the horn been disconnected and so the 'inteligent Sounder' (Rechargable seperate alarm system) may be constantly trying to recharge its damaged batteries causing your drain. Try disconnecting its multi plug. Its behind the front right wheelarch liner beneath the headlight. Having said all that. I know you said you have checked all your relays but it sounds like a stuck relay to me. John

@@ToTheGarage ok I did press that crash trip an no go, yes correct keys, wouldn't say anyone try to steel as it's been sitting in the back yard of hours for over to years, I will check for corrosion on them plugs👍 can I 1bridge that crash switch? 2 can I try start the car if I plug out that thing in front of the drivers wheel? Ps IV no power even getting to the relay for the fuel pump or power windows IV had the fuse bords completely striped down every fuse and relay out of the car in my hand and it seems to have little diode's, I did a continuity an all seems fine ..I'll check out what you say first an ill get back to you thanks so much for your help on this 🙂

driveheronman ok Yes you can disconnect the intelligent sounder and still start car👍

@@ToTheGarage brilliant top man😉⏳

Not heard of the glass going up again when the door is open. The latch sounds possible in that the position of the door latch tells the car windows that the door is open or closed. If you move the latch in the back edge of your door with your finger, does the window drop a little when you lift it? if so it could be just a tired latch spring that cant hold the latch up in the open position on its own?

Congrats on your purchase!👍 Has the rear quarter window been replaced and not sealed well? Check the glass brand matches the other windows. Do the window memory re teach process in case they are not winding into the upper seal fully or the seal has shrunk.. AS long as you can buy a fob of the right era you should be fine to program it yourself (as long as the one you buy works obviously.

Thanks John I will have a look what about the fob I think it should have fobs

To The Garage hi John just checked your full message. Thanks

To The Garage Thanks John I checked the glass it’s all the same but it’s not sealed very well so maybe I should try and glue it.

Hi Louie. Not a quick or complete solution im afraid but probably enough to allow you to search elsewhere on the web for help and vids. Start by cleaning your ABS sensors. Easy to remove, 10mm bolt a nd an electrical connector. one on each hub. They should look through a hole in your hub and watch the castelated sensor ring going past. Clean them up, and test them. Put a multimeter on the most sensitive range connect to their multi plug. Wave a magnet past the sensor fast and close and the meter should twitch. If not replace them. and try the car again after you have done a hard reset (remove Battery fir 10 minutes at least.) If that does not work its the ABS actuator or its control module. The Module is known to fail because of two dry soldered joints. Its a sealed unit , but with care you can cut a hole in its cover and re solder them. Search jag forums on this for where to cut and what to solder. Told you it was not an easy or quick answer. But it is an answer and it it is fixable! This problem often comes and goes with the hot weather. if it does then that will be the bad soldered joint

Hi John. No, The window will wind down by 10mm when you lift the handle even if the memory is gone. it just won't necessarily go all the way back up again until you reset the memory but as you have now seen its the work of moments when you know how. Actually, if you ever go to view an xk8 from a general car lot you can almost guarantee the memory will have been lost when they let the battery get too low or disconnected it. Then you can just keep lifting the door handle and say. 'This had better be real cheap because the electrics are fried!'🤣

To The Garage Hi John. Cut off switch now fitted( low use, so no battery drain), all working fine. Loving the car.

Excellent news @@harryscott1445 Thanks for sharing. Where did they most your cutoff? Boot or cockpit?

To The Garage cut off switch fitted in boot floor. When key removed, no evidence that fitment has been made. I have had same done in all my cars , except Range Rover (2002 vogue, 4.4. ) as too many faults come up on re - connection!)

Casual Agent that is excellent News. If the Ferrari hat had worked out, then the car to match would have took some saving for.😉

To The Garage Indeed 😬
