Hi Sam, this vidro us awesome. I gound your youtube channel trying to find
a fix for the lights of my xk8 handbrake that is showing that i have my
handbrakes on al the time. Even when they are not! Do you know where to
look? Thanks!
I would like to someday own an XK8, and since you can get them so cheaply
nowadays, it’s looks like it could happen one day. I know about the Nikasil
and tensioner issues, but I’m just a middle-class guy — would I be getting
in over my head in terms of maintenance and running costs? Thanks.
I’m not quite sure, but there’s an internet forum where your question can
definitely be answered. Youtube prevents me from typing the url, but just
google “jaguar forum” and the top search result will take you there. Go to
the S-Type section and just do a search for how to remove the center
console. If that doesn’t help, just post a new question and someone will
help you in no time.
@TheCassMighty If you’re a little bit handy you can take care of most of
the issues yourself. Just look at my videos. I’m just an average guy with
average tools. Nikasil isn’t really a problem these days. If the engine
made it this far then the Nikasil should be good for the lifetime of the
car. The problem with Nikasil was back in the early days when people used
high sulfur gas. Today’s gas is very low sulfur so you won’t have a problem
with it.
@TheMrXJR I have no idea. Never done it. But google “jaguar forums” the top
hit will be a link to a great forum with lots of helpful people who can
answer your question. I know the question has been asked there before. I
saw a thread about it.
hey, these vids are great. Question — what is the bluetooth thing that you
were trying to fix. Is there a module that makes your radio bluetooth-able?
I’m just using a “bluetooth” cassette to get my phone/mp3 to pipe into the
radio

modding and cutting in the trunk, do you know how to install them?

Is the process the same for an s-type too?
thanks
