If you are not able to hold gas then you have a pretty major leak. System needs pumping full of dye gas to identify where the system is leaking from mate

Gear not selecting
Car needs scanning with SDD first off. Problem could be electronic, issue with gearbox or likely torque converter. Sounds like an electronic issue somewhere to me, hence the SDD scan.

All the trim pops off. I have piano black and one piece was chipped by the previous owner. The individual trim bits are widely available on the net. I bought a replacement part off ebay. I dunno £20 or so....and 1 min fitting it. Happy days

Exterior side vent trim replacement
I did this to spray the plastic chrome bits on the top of the fake vents. Make sure you rub the 'chrome' down with very fine wet and dry paper, to give the paint something to adhere too. Also use a plastic primer on it before top coat of black. Happy days.

Anyone remapped a 5.0 (naturally aspirated) XK?
A gearbox remap may be better for you, considering the modest gains with an engine remap. I have had my XFR remapped and pullies changed on SC. I have about 600hp and 700nm torque. This doesnt make the car undriveable, you just have to learn 'how' to drive this sort of power. Coincidentally it has improved my mpg. Combined is about 28mpg. As for 'ride' my R is perfectly smooth. With the trick suspension it's comfortable just cruising around and sharpens itself up with enthusiastic driving. So you get the best of both worlds. If your NA has the trick suspension, then there will be no difference in ride between it and the R version.

Take them off and spray them with a rattle can. Use a trim removal tool to gently prise the fake vents off. They are held on with about 5 press trim clips
