The cabin filter in the 2004 x type jaguar is in the same place as the 2003 s type jaguar. it is under the hood on the passenger side under the plastic cowling. you need to remove the 5 plastic clips and both wipers then pry it off starting from the passenger side

You have to take the car to the dealer, along with your registration (to prove you own the car). They can look up the code. Most dealers don't charge for that. By the way, in the US Jaguar disabled the radio code so you don't need to enter it if your battery dies. So I'm assuming you're in Europe.

press and hold the 0000 buttom while it's showing the trip mileage

I recently had the same problem, the local Jaguar dealer, repaired Valve cover gaskets replaced. Oil leaked into the cylinders had to replace coils, plug, gasket, and few others parts. Over $2500 repair

You've not said if coupe or drop-top, coupe is easier. Lever off speaker cover in centre of window, once one corner is off the rest come away easily, then there are I believe 9 small nuts that need unscrewing, once undone you can open the boot/trunk and carefully pull the sub away. Very difficult to find a replacement sub of the same shallow profile though so easiest to get a used OEM where possible.

It sounds like you only have a "valet key" My valet key is green. The main key is black. The valet key will not open the trunk or the glovebox.

If you do not have a main key you should be able to get one from a dealer using the VIN #

If it's like a 1998, use your key. The keyhole is hidden in the "8" of the XK8 logo on the right rear side of the trunk.

Using the key will not work since the release is electronic. Just open the hood and on the passenger side there is a positive terminal to hook up a jump. Just use this long enough to open the trunk so you can change/charge the battery.

Actually, the key will work even with a dead battery. There is a mechanical connection between the lock and the latch. However, it's not unheard of for that mechanical connection to break. If it does, you need to use the electrical connection under the hood method.

they tell the history

There are two ways. The first one is the easiest, so try this: Just below the right taillight you'll see a little chrome "XK8" emblem. In between the X and the K you'll see a little hole. Stick the key in there and turn it. The trunk should open. If that doesn't work, get some jumper cables, open the hood, and look for the fuse box on the left side of the engine bay. Take the cover off of the fuse box, and at one corner of the fuse box you'll see a big bolt with a fat wire connected to it. That's the positive wire for the fuse box. Clamp the red clamp on the jumper cables to that bolt, and clamp the black clamp to any exposed bolt in the engine bay. Hook the jumper cables to the other car, but DON'T TRY TO START THE ENGINE LIKE THAT. The Jag will have electrical power, so you should be able to pop the trunk with the fob or with the button on the dash. Once you've popped the trunk, move the jumper cables back to the battery to start the car.

More info is needed. The 1336 should be preceded by a letter, like P or C. P is an engine code, C is a chassis code. Each one is completely different. Also, a P1336 might be different on a 2005 than it is on a 1998. The model year and complete code is needed to answer the question.

If it's just the light that comes on, a Jaguar dealership should be able to reset the onboard computer and remove the error state which triggered the light.

A gear box fault can sometime occur due to a glitch in the computer software for the gearbox. If so, resetting as outlined above should sort you out.

If on the otherhand there is a 'physical' problem with the gearbox the error state may return. Your best bet is to have the box looked at.

It's well known that catastrophic gearbox failure occurs around 96k miles requiring a new (or reconditioned) box.

Hope this helps, and good luck

The transmission for this model (and all the way through 2006) has a known defect. A recall was done in 1999, but only on a portion of the XK8s out there. After the recall, Jaguar did NOT redesign or modify the transmission and continued to put the same defective transmission in all successive models through year 2006.

Because the transmissions is sealed for its lifetime (100k miles), it is not supposed to require any maintenance; however, because of the defect, these transmissions tend to fail around the 70,000 to 80,000 mile mark. The "Transmission Fault" message is your clue. Take it to your repair shop. They will likely have to replace the transmission at about $10,000 to $12,000 cost to you if you are no longer under warranty.

I have a Jaguar XJ8 1998. the bolt pattern is 5X120

Zerex G-05

the speaker assemblies in the rear are kind of strange, there is a 6.5" mounted in a box with a tweeter of some sort inside the box. the 6.5" is easy enough to replace with any off the rack speaker, you have to take out the entire interior panel though and it's a bit of a hassle until you'e done it a few times. the door speakers are also 6.5", but the space is much tighter, so the speaker you use may need to be rather slim. then there are tweeters up on the dash and also in the corners inside the side mirrors, not sure what size they are. I just recently had my whole system rewired, with new tweeters on the dash, and a new pioneer stereo w/ ipod jack, about 300 bucks total for all the work and the stereo head unit, though it could be higher depending where you live and what kind of shop you go to.

Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level? Usually this problem is related to a low fluid level. Take off the cover on the right side of the trunk. Above the CD changer you'll see the hydraulic pump. You can easily see the fluid level right on the side of the pump. If it's low, fill it up with Pentosin fluid, which you can get at most auto parts stores.

This is within a couple of tenths of a gallon; I don't have it in front of me at the moment. It is 17.6 gallons "onthe gauge" and 19.4 counting 1.8 gallons "reserve" that doesn't show on the gauge (after the gauge hits empty).

Hope this helps!

First, find a resource for Global Technical Reference (GTR) Workshop Manual, section: 417-01.

Then let me know where you found the resource .....! :-). rinkach@sbcglobal.net

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.

the purge valve on the gas line is rusted inside. It is located inside the left front wheel well behind the cover. Easy to replace. check youtube for video.

There is NO dipstick for the transmission. I've been trying to find out how to check the fluid level due to a small leak. So far, I've heard the oil has to be at a certain temp, but no one will say what that is; It has to go in one of two Allen headed plugs, probably the higher one on the tail end of tranny since oil poured out of the lower one on the side. Then I've heard you have to have a computer hooked up to determine the correct fluid level while everything is at the correct temp. When I tried to put some of the $62 a liter fluid in the plug on the tail end, it ran out as fast as I put it in, indicating that there may be a check valve which would make me you might have to put fluid in under pressure and that the fluid level may actually be above the plug! I'm still trying to find out answers to my questions, but the answer to your question is there is NO dipstick!
