Hi Frank- Battery was down a bit so it's on charge now. I tested the resistance of the pump and it's about 1.5 ohms. linking out the fuel pump relay I can't hear the pump running and no fuel at all at the rail on the engine. Looks like the pump has had it and I'm hoping all the other stuff is incidental, It's interesting that the pump shows a healthy resistance ?but doesn't seem to be running when I jump a live to it. Maybe it's seized? New pump on order and preparing myself for the infamous fuel lines underneath.

Afternoon All from a wet and dreary Northumberland. The XK8 started fine after the winter slumbers but next time I tried it ran for a second then stopped and now it won't go at all. The iCarsoft V3 tells me that there's an Instrument Pack fault, a Security Locking Module fault and Ignition state not obtained. Can anyone make sense of this lot and point me in the right direction please? How I miss the days of points and ticking fuel pumps☹️ Thanks Pete

remember

Hi all These cars never cease to surprise me and I've noticed over the years that if I apply the brakes with anything other than a very gentle touch I get a thud as the brakes apply quite fiercely. I've checked all the usual suspect bushes etc to no avail but I'm sure that i read somewhere that if you jab the brake pedal the brakes give you an extra boost in case you aren't capable of deciding for yourself how fast you want to stop.😒 I can't find any information on this feature and wonder if it can be adjusted or even disabled altogether. Any ideas and information most welcome. The car is 2006 3litre Sovereign. Cheers Pete
