  4. I keep getting this warning when I start my XK8 "ABS Traction control failure", which goes off after turning the engine on and off any thoughts? not sure if its the ABS Sensor.
  5. Hi Can anyone tell me how to get hold of Dorchester Grey (LDD/LDP) Aerosol paint for my 98 xk8 window trim Thanks
  6. Is my 98 XK8 odb2 enabled? Is my 98 XK8 odb2 enabled? If so is the port on the driver’s side near the boot/fuel button the connection point and can anyone recommend a code scanner/reader diagnostic tool? Thanks
  7. I’ve just seen this advertised on ebay “Car fault reader code scanner diagnostic tool “ any thoughts on this rather than taking it to the garage, has anyone used one of these?
  8. This warning appeared a couple of weeks ago on start up “Stability Control Fail/ Traction Control Fail” on my 98 xk8 but went off after a minute or so, it came on again this morning and went again after a minute, is this a major problem or an easy fix? Thanks
  9. As a precaution I’ve just had my 98 XK8 with 83k on the clock checked to see if the tensioners have been updated and they haven’t, this was done by my local garage who have looked after my cars for years, the secondary (upper) timing chain tensioners, chains look in good condition and the car has been running great with no knocking etc, lm going to have these upgraded to the new metal tensioners as a safe-guard. I have spoken to my local Jag dealership for a second option and they have advised me (at huge cost) to have the secondary (upper) timing chain tensioners, lower tensioners and chain guides replaced! Does anybody think this is necessary or can someone advise who is or has been in the same situation? Thanks
