Jaguar XK TSB's

Hi Gus,
Nice to hear from you. I don't really need anything, thanks.
But I spotted your post on MPC regarding the frustrating "Navigation DVD" issue -- which provided a link to this site -- and I was unable to open your attached PDF file in message #49. So I joined the Forum, and still couldn't open anything. It was while browsing that I discovered Matt's reminder to new members.
Don't know if I'll ever get to the requisite ten posts in order to obtain "permission," considering my inactivity of late. However, I still try to stay informed, and follow select topics.
Hello to all who remember me from elsewhere. You're in my thoughts, even though I'm no longer an active participant.

I agree. I can help all you need with an XJ-S, but I am new to the XKR and need to learn.

I don't know why you are having trouble downloading the Word file but here it is in .pdf.
Bottom line is that the TSB was issued in August '99 at the start of the '00 model year. If your car was assembled after that you should have the green Pentosin fluid. Check the manufacture date on the driver 'B' column. Check the color of the fluid in the reservoir. The earlier fluid was yellow. Top up if low and green, flush if yellow.
There is also a common problem with the top lift rams leaking without much sign of escaped fluid. If reservoir is low you have a leak that must be fixed.
Also an excellent time to install the pressure regulating system before you blow the hoses which I am surprised hasn't happened yet. Mine blew at 40k mile, 4 year intervals like clockwork . . . three times.
