I have inherited my husbands XK auto sports. It’s a beautiful car , gold with cream interior. 50,000 miles only with a full service history and recent service and MOT. I have two other cars and would like to sell it . Can you help me with advice on how much I should ask and how to do so?

oops 😉 haven't seen alarm off procedure myself, would be interesting to see.

That where I have a problem, the manual I have gives many different settings for the alarm, including pressing a button inside, the door unlock button, it all seams a little vague Also I am not 100% certain the manual i got with the car is the right one for this car. There a few other things i have looked up and have not worked, like memory seats.....nearly crushed myself on the steering wheel!

Hi Roy, welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguar motoring. Be sure to post a few photos when you can. N6 JMX

Hi Brian, sounds quite serious, but I suspect they may well be electrical related - the battery on a Modern XK is a central part of its nervous system. You say your battery "died", is the replacement new and fully charged? The faults you experienced with ABS, DSC, etc, are all symptomatic of a poor battery, unable to provide a stable voltage to the sensitive electronics. It may be the case with brakes that the electronic parking brake (EPB) has been stuck on due to a poor signal associated with the battery condition, you are likely going to need access to a full Jaguar or Autologic diagnostic equipment to fully check and reset the brain of the car. Good luck and please report back any progress. N6 JMX

Good evening 2007 xk x150 weird problem, firstly my battery died . I replaced it then ABS fault DSC unavailable and engine lights came on, I had the codes cleared, drove 100 yards they came back on. Changed the ABS sensors on the front. Cleared codes same issue came up after driving a mile DSC light started flashing car went into limp mode , brakes seemed to come on, and grinding noise heard, I stopped as soon as I could smoke was by then coming from rear N/S brakes which then went on fire. I managed to put the flames out but car is now stranded. Has anyone else experienced similar please ? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Blasphemy

This is a known but not common issue. The hood can be resealed, after suitable cleaning of the old adhesive with Welcon surface cleaner, by using a glue called Teromix 6700. N6 JMX

hi front lights and front indicators not working no lights on the dash and no warning on dash no main beam no interior lights the boot release button also not working can anyone help me what to look at thank you

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll get on it! I've seen a lot of info about SDD, sounds like i'll be investing. Genuinely though, if it takes getting someone over then I'll do it. The car is too pretty for it to be left not running!
