It will apparently and the values can be kept open like in the picture, although with not being able to source one I might take your advice and remove the silencer boxes

I’ve read that if the car isn’t locked it drains the battery. Might seem an odd statement if left on the front of the house, but if it’s parked in a garage secured and you’re not locking it, never know.

Hi Jim, Yes the example was from ebay, but I can’t justify that kind of price tag, but on the other hand I wanted a genuine article if I can.

Hi, I'm after an XKR Exhaust system to fit to XK (2005) if anyone has one for sale at a reasonable price. Like the one attached.

Hi Jim, Auto Trim, Car Interiors, Vehicle Upholstery weren't able to help unfortunately, however. There is a company in Wolverhampton which does it, approximate price £1300. Details attached if anyone is interested. Many Thanks

Hi Jim, Think I found the problem. Although it was the 400 amp fuse which I needed to change, the issue around the intermittent starting i think was down to the middle fuse being lose too. The back locking nut wasn't tight even when the front one was. Seems to be OK for now.

Hi Jim, Thanks again, I will give them a try, might be in the to difficult box and a second hand ones on the cards.

Can anyone recommend a good upholsterers that can do dashboards. Many Thanks

Thanks Jim, I'll give it all a try 😊and keep you posted sir.

Thanks, Jim. I changed the battery this morning, but the problem still seems to persist. I managed to get it to start after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery about 10 times. I'll try changing the fuse and its holder again in case they are loose or damaged from previous attempts. I don't know what the problem is; it's driving me crazy. How many earth connections are there to check, I wonder?

Hello, Can anyone help me, please? I have an electrical issue with my Jaguar XK 4.2 V8. Long story short, I started to experience some electrical gremlins but wasn't overly worried. One afternoon, when returning to the car, it wouldn’t start, the lights were flashing, and the key got locked in the insert. I tried to jump-start the car, but I think I did this wrong. The RAC came and said I had blown my 400-amp mega fuse, probably trying to jump-start it, but I don't think this was the original problem. The car has since been towed and the fuse replaced, but I am still experiencing some electrical issues with the car not being able to start unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected several times. After the incidents and watching a YouTuber "Life on Cars," I recently checked and had to splice the earth cable under the drivers wheel arch. The RAC man and the garage said there's nothing wrong with the battery, but when I put a multimeter on it, it read 11.88V. Does this warrant a new battery? I would be grateful for any help.

Hi Jon, Long shot but are you able to check model by sending the last six digits of my vin over? Many Thanks
