Contact the supplier “Old Jaguar” web page link is on the descriptions.

I can't say for sure your car will have the feature, but can say that it is tricky on my XKR to get the sequence of pressing the buttons spot-on at the same time. it takes me a number of attempts. So keep trying.

Can you please tell me what you mean by "Zoom"

Is this for real?

@@jaguarXK-XKR try it, it worked for me

You certainly need it, we only get consecutive 40+ degree days in Sydney (105F)

Well mentioned David, I had that concept car in mind or another "jaguar you have never heard of" Good thought. Watch this space.

I agree about the TVR look - but is that so bad. Anyway I wouldn't say no to one in my garage.

I believe on of the two XK180s is in the Daimler/Jaguar heritage collection

.

Very pleased that the video was of value to you

Thanks for adding that - Needs to be as correct as possible

I guess that everyone has their own experience

Yes they are reporting faults. BUT if your battery is low it may be just that as an issue. Make sure your battery is fully charged and clear the codes with a code reader. If the fault lights come back. Then they are telling the truth.

O K thanks. I'm told there might be a problem with the Alternator.

I haven't noticed streaks since I sprayed the Nova ceramic coating on, Time will tell. thanks for your comment

Hope it helps you. The dropping glovebox seems to be a common fault

I had a problem since the purchase for 5 years :) it's a shame when it fell loudly, now it's great thanks to your video, for 5 years I thought it was supposed to be like that 😂

Interesting. I am not getting the dust build up that I used to get

Great memories. Cars are a bit like that favourite music track at the time. Brings memories flooding back.

Thanks for your comment.such a classic looking car.

For sure the front wheels get most of the dust from the brakes. Using the carnauba wax will have a similar effect as the ceramic coating does. It's just that the ceramic leaves a harder surface to repel the dust. You will need to wax more often to get the same long term result. But go for it.

You are so right about the motto being: as "Silent as the Sphinx" I used their post war promo. "With jets attached" to tie in with the Lancaster and Hurricane aircraft.

Glad it helped. As you saw, mine were pretty clean as well.

Thanks

Love the story, Paul. Thanks for passing it onto us. Bruce

Thanks for that - you learn something all the time. Thanks for putting the record straight - Thanks, Bruce

Thanks Dallas, I'll have a look at the the Cootamundra Sprint in 2022 - thanks for letting me know.

You've done your research

Thanks Jonathan, I really enjoyed the day and all the chats. Graham was a real character. Owned the car for 50 years.

Yes but the XK8 and XKR x100 models have the spitfire wing dash. 🛩️

Try to follow the cables: this is a link to the 4 litre XK8 workshop manual: mega.nz/file/S18TATYC#WKArf2x69mEmPkDspPwXixQqa4bS1pJcEXwvfPu8dT8

It is most likely clogged up with junk. Try to clean it out with a plastic probe and some WD 40. the workshop manual may be of some help. see the last comment.

@@jaguarXK-XKR Thanks for the response I have been spraying wd40 in the secret hole for last couple days ... my key goes in and turns very easily but doesn't unlock ..the button inside the vehicle open gas cap but not trunk do you know if there is fuse for it

I don’t know of a fuse that connects to the boot opener. I would think if the fuel cap opens it should be on the same circuit. Check the fuses on the workshop manual I uploaded.

Sure was

Great weather

What a great story Garry. You should be very proud of your part. So good that you have an XK to remind yourself. What happened to the footest. It would be someones treasure now.

@@jaguarXK-XKR I did wonder at the time if I could have secreted one home and added a toughened glass top to make a real petrol head's coffee table 😂 I was contracting for a company based in Maidenhead called HazMac (after the two owners Hazelton and McSwan) and we designed and built all the mechanical handling that transported the blocks (and LH/RH cylinder heads through the (several) Machining centres (each which were huge and used a thing called a 'walking beam' to move the block (or head) through it stopping at various points for the various machining operations. It was really interesting work, quite stressful as with all things in the motor industry there were tight time milestones to meet. I said to myself at the time....one day Garry you are going to have a jaguar with one of these beautiful engines under the bonnet (hood for any Americans reading this). Keep up the good videos....quite Jealous of the beautiful Aussie weather and countryside buddy 😂👍

Good memories Garry, You should write a book. There are so many different opinions about whose input is mainly responsible for the design and production of the V8 engine. In your opinion, whose baby is it - Ford or Jaguar?

Thanks for commenting - I appreciate the support - i hope to have as much content with the x150 video that is in the making. Bruce

Thanks for the comment. I've got Continental SportContact 7s. We have one set of tyres for all conditions. never gets cold enough to need to change.

Yes it is "Ultimate black" With a 2 stage paint correction and graphene coating

Thanks for watching - pleased that it was of value to you.

Glad it was helpful, thanks for commenting

Sounds good too

Wow, that is a fine commitment - well done

Thanks for adding that detail ,Paul, maybe mine had been taken out before as I didn't recall those when I removed. I appreciate your input. - Bruce

👍

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for picking that up about the XKR x100. I thought after recording that I should have mentioned the 4 litre intro in ‘98 and then 4.2. Missing the later model XJ was an error especially the XJR. Thanks for adding the detail. Bruce

You're welcome!

I don't have the Xk8 any more but I would look under the parcel shelf for an unattached cable. This wiring diagram may help. www.dropbox.com/sh/mkchxc77m4ex14f/AAB7GC1jiB9KyRfrq7B0-8Eia?preview=XK8+Electrical+Guide.pdf

@@jaguarXK-XKR thanks! That’s a great help, sorry to hear you don’t have the Xk8 anymore

They are looking really smartly dressed

I'm not aware of any way of being able to check the oil levels. Most will agree you should change the fluid around the 60k mile mark, or eight years.
