Made to measure covers from specialised covers. Co.uk (Yorkshire)

not a one size fits all / cheap but a quality cover

Normal service has resumed however I can't be sure what the problem was as apart from taking the door panel off and think that one of the plugs into the module wasn't fully inserted, 

put it on the scanner and scrubbed a couple of fault codes 

thanks again to all members for their input on this thread 

Cheers for that Jim 

Will  look at pulling the passenger door module for the part number for a replacement, 

I can't find a how to but hopefully I won't have to remove the door panel as the information I have found suggests that it is positioned behind the door speaker

I may be wrong but I think the car was set up that when the passenger door was opened the mirrors unfolded ,

I understand where you are coming from but after 10 years ownership this has only recently been brought to my attention after a battery disconnect and me thinking I might have an incoming gremlin 

On the flip side if what I think was happening isn't within the normal format of the in car software it may have highlighted  a gremlin that i wasn't aware of

When the car is opened just from the passenger door (keyless) the mirrors remain folded is this correct?

they fold to the driving position as they should using the drivers side 

Personally russ the xk 150 has such limited use I suggest you get a second car capable of transporting more than 1 passenger .

If you're partner disagrees with buying another car i suggest you ask her to travel in the back once and that will definitely change her mind 

what you identify as a rear seat is nothing more than a low level parcel shelf 🤣

Xk8 rust can be an issue however £15k should get you a good example 

Try specialised covers. Co .UK  

Custom made to measure choice of colours etc 

Wouldn't your query be best answered by a company that does tinting for a living 🤔

If you go on sng Barrett bushes and ball joints available + any necessary nuts and bolts 

Xk150 or xk8 ?

Both built 2005

Hiya Tim 

unless your car is a R you don’t have to remove the bumper and the ped sensors can be accessed from the top ,that said if it is an R the sensors can be accessed by removing the front most under tray ,

you will probably find that these sensors are more problematic during the summer season (temperature) however they appear to have a life span of approx 10 years 

never knew that you can have a height adjustable spring/standard front strut arrangement other than coil overs are you sure it isn’t the headlights levelling sensor?

Mine are fitted permanently and in the event of having to use the space saver will just remove the spacer as I don’t have Alcons fitted ☹️
I just can’t see myself driving along with a spacer fitted🤮particularly on the rear ,I would probably have the tyre replaced at the roadside as the majority of rapid deflation’s destroy the tyre before you have a chance to stop 

They look pretty much the same part from the lack of tapered stud holes in your picture ,

Sorry Steve H&R 

I think it is more to do with design than material aspects 

I have H&H centric spacers fitted to mine that have a warning not to use with steel wheels (space savers ) 

Hiya Steve 🤝

What’s this about a 7mm spacer ?

If the battery has been run down extremely low there is good chance that it’s scrap material now 

Hiya Aubrey 

the glow plugs are only used on start up so irrelevant to normal running,

Hiya John 

if you consider £750 as excessive what price would you consider reasonable? 
what work needs doing in order to comply with the service schedule?

Welcome to the forum Barry 👋

based on my and other XK owners experiences you are probably a bit optimistic in the navigation expectations 

You will probably spent days just trying to get it to work in a coherent manner 😂

Only just seen the the spam warning,having just got back from having s*x with a nice chick in her new Jaguar 😳
