Jaguar Owners Club

Hi Andy....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

It sounds more like a situation of debris or uneven surface on the runners which would automatically bounce down the windows as though there is an obstruction. I have got round this in the past by spraying Silicon spray into the guide runners which the glass runs up and down and this has cured it.

Try looking at ones for the XF but you'll need to cross reference the part number but it does work

Author: Brian Laban (2016) Publisher: Crowood Press Hardback, 12 Chapters, 208 pages Price: £20.95 + £3.95 p&p A very well laid out book detailing the history of the XK range of Jaguars with many black & white and colour photographs, illustrations and supporting data. The Author has successfully covered the range of XKs from the inception in 1948 to the E-Type, with each chapter chronologically detailing the marque and history of the manufacturer’s technological evolution within that era. The Jaguar XK was incredibly successful in racing and this has been covered in detail with particular mention to the 24 Hours of Le Mans race when Jaguar dominated the Motorsport world in the 1950’s. The ‘Racing Cousins’ such as the Lightweight E-Types and the Lister Knobbly have also been covered with sufficient detail without going too in-depth to become a specialist publication of each variation. There are plenty of books available about each of the specialist racing Jaguars to satisfy the enquiring reader’s curiosity. At the end of each chapter is a summary of the specifications of each model from that particular era with technical and performance information. Overall, this book delivers a definitive overview of the variety of XK’s produced over a 22-year span.

Hi Richard....welcome to the Club Sorry for the late response, been away from the computer for a while. You certainly have a superb mk9 there. I once restored the major mechanical units for one once....superb engineering of the day and carried through for many years to come. Good to have you onboard and hopefully you'll find our forum software platform easy to use....any issues then just let us know and we'll endeavour to assist where we can. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Geoff....sorry for the late reply Welcome to the Forum Wow! you have quite a collection of British cars, obviously a sucker for punishment 😁 No really, superb cars and hope you find a nice XK8 to join the fold....although they are getting harder to find as time goes by. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

HaHa....I wouldn't have thought of checking there myself, would probably have happened across it at some point like yourself. Just goes to show, never assume!

I would say at a guess that it is either the fuse was tapped into a switchable polarity (e.g. switches to earth - similar to electric windows) or the cable was trapped somewhere shorting to earth?

Hi Frank....good to have you back on the forum It would be great if you could answer any questions that you may have the answer to as this does seem to be a widespread problem where the original poster comes in, asks the question, gets the answer and then goes without giving feedback, e.g. did the answer resolve the problem? If you need any help with a few batches of questions then please let me or any other moderators know and we will see what we can do to fill this void. You should be able to answer posts by clicking Reply to Topic or Quote and this should open a response box. Beautiful XKR by the way....looks like it is cherished and nice to see the attention to detail. Cheers . Trevor
