Default Hello - New owner of a 4.2 V8 2008 XK

Hello, new member here. I had a 2011 3.0D Jag XF for 7+ years, now the owner of a 2008 4.2 V8 Jag XK (fairly standard spec, the previous owner added 20" black wheels, and black tape over the chrome)

Initial issues:
1) Passenger-side (UK, so left hand side) washer fluid barely emits anything, haven't checked yet for kinks or filters.
2) SatNav flickers, this is surely a fibre-optic cable from the unit in the boot to the display (all other displays are fine, so must be specific to the SatNav functionality - no idea how complex that may be to investigate / replace)
3) Nearside wing mirror, when set to dip in reverse gear, goes on an apparently random wander, and ends up in some totally useless position, and doesn't put itself back when in forward gear. Am guessing some obstruction behind the mirror, but again, haven't investigated yet.



My XK

Hello, Steve,
I'm sorry to read of all those little irritants your Jaguar has. Someone will be along shortly to direct you to the correct section where you can get help for all that.

Welcome to the forms from ElinorB.
