DubaiXKR

Afternoon all,

well, after a few weeks back in europe ive come back to find the headliner gone fully on the top of my XKR.  Its an 2011 XKR - the headlining is Suede (greyish colour).

This isnt (unsuprisingly) covered uner the warranty.  My local dealer in Dubai wants around 800 GBP to re-stick it, or around 1700 GBP for a new headliner and suede. 

This seems steep to say the least.  Wondered on the off chance if anyone knew a better value way round this? perhaps a decent upholsterer in Dubai?

any help appreciated.  Thanks

ah, no. the old XF V8 had that. ive got old school XKR - the only way to get trac mode appears to be the skidding car looking button at the top of the gear selector when in P mode.

hi chaps.  not sure if mine has dynamic mode or not.  Its weird, in normal D mode i can drop in and out of the paddle shifters by holding the right hand shifter as you say for a couple of seconds.  When i go into S mode it stays fimrly in paddle only mode - the only way to get back into auto is to flip to D again and back.

So far very impressed.  The sound seemes a bit more gutteral, nice weight distribution as well. 

Hi all,

Nice to e-meet you all.  Just picked up an XKR here in Dubai and a quick question if anyone out there can help.

On my old XF SV8 if i was in sport mode, and using the paddle shifters i could flip back into Auto by pulling and holding the right shifter.  On the XKR this doenst seem to be the case  - is this by design?

Hi all,

Just to pop up and say hi.  long time lurker, new member. Currently living in the sandpit in Dubai.  Just changed my SV8 for an XKR,  No doubt a few questions will come up when i realise how much less there is on the XKR than SV8 XF!
