  1. XK8 / XKR (X100) 1996 - 2005
    Hello all, I've looked around for an answer but didn't find anything relevant, so I'm posting this here. My jaguar xk8 1996, which has been pretty well serviced until now, (160000 miles) makes a high pitch grinding metallic sound when accelerating a bit more than usual (like more than half of...

    Hello fellow Jag enthusiasts - I'm a member of the UK Jaguar Enthusiasts club. I've owned a few models over the years, and am currently owner of a much-loved beautiful blue XK8 (nicknamed 'Lapis' by my wife) which we've used for the last 8 years, mainly for touring the continent. I actually...

    Reluctantly selling my 1996 XK8. The car is running, used regularly and 87k on the clock and about 9 months MOT. It is all original including the stereo but it does need a bit of care and attention to take it back to it's former glory. More than happy to share full details of the car and open...

    Hi All I have a longstanding and puzzling problem with my 1996 XK8, hoping the smart minds on here can help me find a fix. I've had the car since 2016, in 2019 a small bolt was dropped through a spark plug opening and when the engine was turned on this broke a couple of valves and cracked a...

    Hi All The cable on my 1996 XK8 snapped, its the short section that connects to the handbrake lever. I found a replacement cable from a breaker that came with a lever attached. The garage put the cable and while the handbrake will go on, it wont disengage. They said this was the case with both...

    The engine light on my XK8 4 litre (year 2002) has been staying ON permanently for the best part of the last year. I've had a specialist Jaguar garage look at it and they've fixed an air leak on one occasion, and replaced the mass air flow sensor on another. It's okay for a short while but the...

    Can you believe it? I was given a black beauty 97 XK8 coup. Here is the bad news: It has not run for over 4 years, won't crank, has 4 flat tires, a cracked front bumper shroud, and a shattered rear window. But there is good news: The original factory paint is in very good condition. There is no...

    Hi all, I've decided to buy my dream childhood car, an XK8. I haven't decided on a year yet but likely one of the pre or early 2000s models based on my budget (very low!). I've decided I want to have some fun in my life before I have kids. I'm currently London based but moving further out and...

    Hi, Has anyone changed the dash of a 1996-2003 Jaguar XK8 to make it all digital/TFT instruments? I'm looking for a modern, restomod feel for the interior. Thanks David Roberts

    Hi All I have a 1996 XK8 with a fan problem. Put a new fuse in, start the car and the fan works. Switch off, leave for a while, start the car, the fan doesn't work and the fuse has blown. Seems to be a bit random that it doesn't blow the first time the fuse is put in. I know this is likely to be...

    With reference to this video:.... I am looking for the same 'missing' part for the XK8. Its a round plate that is attached too and sits under the Gear Shift Unit... it activates the Illumination Module. Its not available as a Part Number but comes as part of the Assembled unit. So I have to...

    Hi all, I'm 6.2 tall, 210 lbs and considering an XK8. I cannot find one in my area so am hesitant to buy without trying. Wondering if anyone here can share their experience if you're a tall XK8 owner. thanks!
