Hi all i have a 1996 xk8 , are there any easy fixes with the electric petrol cap . Mine has recently stopped working. I know how to manually open it but is there a common problem and easy fix for them . Thanks in advance . also more importantly are there any jag breakers yards near Manchester/ Rochdale area that can be recommended. Regards Dave.

Hi andy nothing to do with the headlining but more curiosity . You said you recently purchased the xk8 . Was it from Stockport/ Manchester area by chance .

Hi all i bought a 1996 xk8 last year ( all working and no issues. Was in same family for 26 yrs and always garaged . I’ve not used it much ( maybe 50 miles in 12 months due to work . But it now doesn’t start on dash shows message - check engine . I’ve had it plugged into my local garage computer test but due to age fault code can’t be recognised . Does anyone know of a reliable/ reasonably priced jag specialist garage near to Middleton/ Rochdale area . Regards Dave
