Underbody/Subframe protection options for my 15 year old XK
I have been musing on what preventative work would be advisable (or indeed essential) in terms of undersealing or similar treatments (such as Lanoguard or other market leading options), especially as we are moving through autumn into what is likely to be another wet winter. I would therefore be interested to get recommendations for my car, and what treatment(s) other owners have gone for, and indeed any recommended specialists who could undertake the work. -

I-Pace ride a bit too bumpy?
I found my I Pace suspension too hard and unable to cope with local potholed roads, and bought a set of German alloys with Michelin Latitude touring tyres which do improve the ride. Having now sold the car (with its original Jaguar wheels) I now have a set of 4 Dezent TA Silver / dark alloys with the tyres, which have done only c. 3000 miles. Any reasonable offer considered.IMG_1370.HEIC IMG_1368.HEIC

Driving Position Of My 1989 XJ40
Good Evening, My car is a 1989 XJ40 which I bought last December, since then I have only covered around 500 local miles and whilst I have generally enjoyed everything about the car there is one issue which is really annoying for me. I find the front seating, especially the drivers far too low to the floor! Now I am a tall guy around 6ft but I have long legs and a shorter upper body. The car does not have electric seats and I believe that if it did my problem would have been solved because they w

2001 XK8 won’t start
Martyn R ·Hi guys, I took my XK8 in for it’s MOT on Monday, the car started fine, I drove it to the garage with no problems, the car passed the MOT with no issues, the examiner parked the car after he had finished and handed me the keys, I went to started it after paying the fee but the car wouldn’t restart. I have checked the fuses and relays but all seem fine, i also changed a few obvious things like the crankshaft sensor and fuel filter, but no luck. I know there are numerous things that it could be bu

Parking sensor issue .... at wits end :-(
Hey man, just wanted to thank you for that rarest of things, someone posting the fix in a long running forum thread! Had the exact same issue with my car, previous owners had lived with it for ages. I noticed it was always a few hours after rain it kicked in. 10 minutes with a flexible wire to clear the very blocked drain and no reoccurrence of the issue! Really chuffed, thanks again.

XK8 ECU Problems
Those two statements are self-contradicting Richard. If it's been rebuilt, it should have been tested and guaranteed, therefore there is no need for it to not be giving the right signals out. Silly question - have you checked the alternator is actually charging properly? If it isn't then it will cause all kinds of problems. Strangely i have a 2005 car that only has flash codes, it's a JDM vehicle so has no requirement for the OBD-II system. There is a 2-pin plug somewhere behind the dash that needs to be bridged, ignition on then count the flashes on the EML and decode them with a chart. However, i don't have the chart or know which 2-pin connector i need to bridge yet - not needed to thankfully! Italian tune-ups are definitely the first port of call with a high emissions vehicle IMHO, usually before the test i try to give my own cars a bit of a blow-out just to be on the safe side.

XK8 ECU Problems
The car runs but is really rough. Fuel has been checked and the pump is working perfectly.The ECU did have water ingress and was sent off to be rebuilt. The problem is the voltage coming out. Both should be 5 volts but the EM10-21 has 12 volts coming out and the EM11-08 has no voltage so it is certainly an ECU problem that no one seems to know how to fix.
