  1. Thanks for this Joe .... sorted it this afternoon. thanks anyway. Steve
  2. Thanks .. did that sometime ago with no result. Will try again. Steve
  3. I'm pretty sure someone has asked this before .... can anyone tell me how to get the original build sheet for my 2004 XK8 convertible, there must be a way. Thanks in advance.
  4. Thanks ... excellent. Found exactly what I require.
  5. Can anyone enlighten me as to the fixings holding on the back bumper? Mine is secured by cable ties, apparently placed after the car had some welding done on the wheel arches. Is there a diagram of the necessary parts available anywhere. Thanks in advance.
  6. Having bashed my offside mirror on a low hanging branch, the glass fell out though it is still attached and the electrics still work ... however, how does the mirror fit back into the bit at the back of the mirror ... I see four tags on the back of the mirror but only two catches on the retaining plate .... am I missing something here? Thanks in advance
  7. Thanks Jim ... I've written to him.
  8. Struggling to find part numbers MJB1341AC and MJF1346AA ... my usual go to Barretts are not coming back with any information. Nearside front suspension arm and bush. Any help out there in XK8 land?
  9. OK ... What's the antenna then located below the bolster behind the driver's seat then? Uk spec side so the bolster on the right of the car looking towards the front. I think it traces back to the security module located under the rear fuse box by the side of the battery. Will look to see this other aerial/antenna by the rear light ..
  10. Thanks for that Joe ... I see the ignition fob on the convertible lists "on top of the backlight" .. not sure what that means. Steve
  11. When re-programming key fobs, where in the car do they connect? Is there an aerial somewhere in the car/under the car. Just had the vehicle waxoiled so wondering why the fobs won't programme. The lights flash on the gear selector as they should, fobs don't flash though. They both worked fine before the waxoil.
  12. This is where I am at the moment. The car had a complete oil change and major service yesterday. I had (slap my wrist) allowed the oil level to get very low, just over the low mark on the dipstick, although no oil warning light was apparent and I noticed a small leak on the joint from rubber to steel on the oil cooler pipe to the block when under the car. I bought a couple of camshaft position sensors, but now not sure that they are the problem as they are returning values so will return them. I let the engine warm up, put on my code reader and deleted the codes P0001/02. The amber engine light went out and stayed out. Turned off ... waited one minute, started up again, the light stayed out. Repeated the process. Hopefully that's it .... not enough oil to the camshaft, but will wait until I can take the car out for a run before I'm convinced that is the problem (had an angioplasty on Wednesday so not allowed to drive for a week). I am fearful that the light will come back on during a run, but will report back. Steve
  13. Thanks ... very helpful. Will give me a place to look.
  14. I've had the above codes come up with the orange engine light on (intermittently I should add). I was told by a mate that it's probably the Camshaft Position Sensor. But I'm not sure ... any other clues to what I should be looking for. Any help gratefully received. Cheers Steve
  15. Got one as well ... obviously been hacked
