My top will open , when I tell it to close it makes a beep and does nothing.. I can manually pull it up and I can hit the button again and it will close the rest of the way and latch.
Ahh, convinced me to get the hardtop. Either that or an ancient convertible with a manual roof; maybe a TR6. The XK8 has quite a simple roof supposely, "easy to fix," compared to the likes of other manufacturers like Mercedes and Ferrari.
Hi Jagvette1 Loved this video. Thankfully never had the dreaded green rain myself so this is uncharted territory for me. Do you have to bleed the lines when you refill and recommission? If so is it just a case of loosening one of the lines or is there a bleed nipple somewhere. Thanks very much for the namecheck re the keyhole.
Thank you for taking the time to show some of the processes for working on the top. I have no frame of reference however my conv top (98) seems slow to react in both directions works fine but just a bit slow.
Were do you put the oil and what kind??
Interesting ….

The classic Jaguar Golden (if green) Shower.
