hi there only jaguar dealers or jag aproved garages will be able to reset the xk8 system regards cr4zy_jaguar
the battery is in the trunk on the righr of thr spare tire...
You'll find that the key goes into a keyhole hidden in the Chrome "XK8" badge on the rear panel. Between the k and the 8 if I recall.
How do you remove the interior panel containing the rear woofer in a 2002 jaguar xk8 coupe? thanks
Reseting the windows in the rear folows the same procedure as the front, only use the convertable top switch.
Special adhesive needed available at auto parts or Wal-Mart
from what I hear ther is no dipstick there is a plug in the rear to add fluid and a level on the side to check the amount of fluid but ROM what I hear there is no diptick at the top like the rest of the cars supposedly this trans never needs servicing
Try re-learning the window regulators. Do this to both windows one at a time: Open the window all the way, do not let up on the window switch. Keeping it pressed down you will hear a faint "click" inside the door. Now release the button and do the opposite- raise the window all the way to the top. Do not let up on the window switch until you hear the faint "click" inside the door. Now do the other side...this usually fixes 90% of your window timing issues on an XKR or XK8.
If the windows do not lower automatically when opening door (to clear convertible top) and then raise atomatically when door is shut, then check your battery. Right after I purchased my 2001 XK8 used, it cost me $300 at the Jag dealer for a new battery to learn this tidbit.
