  1. That’s a shame it’s a bit of a trek but I have been looking for one and would have really appreciated that. I am sure someone will snap your hand off soon
  2. Help! I have just purchased a 2007 XK and I love the look of it as it has the XK60 kit on it but I have noticed a few issues with it and wondered if anyone who knows these cars could tell me if this is normal? 1) Rear passenger footwell wet, substantial with slightly rusted front seat bolts as a result of obviously long term issue 2) Rear side windows leaking (drips) when throwing buckets of water over the car when washing it 3) Smart key when placed in smart key charging point turns off cruise control, spare key doesnt always turn car on but will open it? 4) GPS not found on sat nav and basically sat nav is useless as a result 5) Drivers visor hangs down a little more and makes a snap noise when pushing it back up 6) Passenger wing mirror doesnt go back into position after reversing, no matter how many times I set it up in memory 7) Engine getting hot, no warning signs but I know it is as the fan stays on after use for a couple of minutes and I had an OBD reader on the car to check and it gets to around 115 degrees C and then the fan comes on, but this happens after only 10 minutes of driving. Assumed thermostat issue and booked in to have it changed, hoping its not a sensor or pump issue. 8 ) Rear subframe has surface rust 9) Small oil leak from rear diff 10) when on full lock even at slow speeds it feels like the car is sliding / hoping a bit at the front So wonder if any of that is scary and not normal for these? Also need a solution improving the stereo so it has bluetooth for my iphone 12 - whats everyone using now
  3. Hi Guys, OK, I have a year 2000 4.0 V8 XKR one of the first of the steel lined engine blocks, and has had timing tensioners and timing chain already changed to metal versions. The car has a full service history either by Jaguar or Jaguar specialists and has only ever had the best fuels and oils used in the car. There are some expensive upgrades with facelift grill, lowered suspension and fully stainless steel exhaust system. The exterior and interior can only be described as fantastic and with only 79500 miles it still has many more miles left in it. My question is how much is it worth? I have seen them priced all over the place and I wondered what a realistic price was to sell it. Also if anyone is interested let me know.
