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.

Why does your jaguar xk8 drain its battery when left overnight?

Check that your doors close completely (windows do not hang up on the convertible top). Also after your battery has drained or cables removed (to charge or replace battery) the power windows on the convertible model must be "retrained" to close correctly. The procedure is in your owner's manual but basically it is to sit inside the vehicle with door closed and lower the window then raise. When the window is fully closed do not remove your finger from the "up" button but keep depressed for approx 25 seconds. If properly done and assuming the battery has enough charge, when you open door the window should lower automatically a fraction to clear the convertible top then automatically raise when the door is shut. Do the same for the passenger door.

Who invented the convertible?

AnswerThere are convertible cars dating from the 1930's.Your question should be the other way around. Since the first cars were buggies with engines they were all open cars or "convertibles" with very few exceptions. Then in the early 1900's as the automobile began the evolve all manufacturers began the build closed cars as their main offerings but they also offered an open or convertible as well. Ford did not offer a closed car until 1920 or so.


How do you check transmission fluid on a 2002 jaguar s type?

You can't. It is a closed system and per the Minneapolis Jaguar dealer, you do not change the fluid or filter ever. I do not believe this and now at 120k on my 2002 S Type 3.0L, my transmission is slipping. I am having the pan dropped and new fluid put in to see if it solves the slipping issue.
