Me too. It's !Removed! ugly on such a good looking car. I see this use of marine antenna has been posted on various forums before but not read how successful it had been. If you do try and it works or fails please let me know as may try myself. Seen reference to upgrading the rear spoiler as later models alledgedly have the antenna built into this but I'm not convinced as manufacturers usually install within the rear screen defrost wires. I may be wrong. It seems on face of it compared to other issues that arise, a simple to fix problem but no actual solution or product seem available. Paul

Hi Rick. Not a long term solution I'm afraid. Brought a 12v Amplified internal antenna and mounted it on the parcel shelf as it didn't work when mounted out of sight. Power from the factory aerial lead and attached coaxial with a Halfords connector. Works ok but occasionally lose reception. I'm surprised that no actual solution exists. Can't be too difficult for a techno wiz. I'm not one of those!! Will fiddle some more in summer and get the aerial removed and the hole filled and sprayed at local chips away.

Any tips on a replacement radio aerial on a 2007 XK would be welcome. Cannot find a alternative apart from a stubby or bee sting but really want it hidden (even my 2005 van has no aerial!!) thanks Paul

Only other thing that is bugging me is the Aerial as I have a late 2007 model with a awful telescopic aerial so any tips to a alternative hidden would be most welcome. I have disconnected the standard aerial for now and will soon get this removed and filled/painted over.

Hi. Thanks for the response. JagTech appear to know their stuff so glad I found them. The XK I have had not been well cared for so had engine and gearbox fluids changed for peace of mind. Regards Paul

hi. I am not a new Jaguar owner as I have had the pleasure of other Jaguars over the years but the XK I now own is my first and I am keen to find ways to improve if any are around and maintain my 80,000 miles example to ensure a trouble free long life. I started my ownership seeking advice on the Gear Box and servicing to mixed messages. However I found a very good Jaguar Specialist in Ely JagTech and they recommended a Gearbox Fluid change and found it was required as the old fluid smelt burnt and black colour. Yet the Jaguar Dealer said it does not require changing as its Sealed For Life! Glad JagTech advised me to go ahead.
