Default Hi from France, 2003 XK8 4.2

Hi all,

Bought a 2003 XK8 4.2 a few weeks ago, grey anthracite with beige interior and 150k km (nearly new...).

Done a few jobs, like door microswitch, so the windows behave properly (myself), underbody rust protection (myself), headliner/a-posts/sun visors, oil change, boot respray.

Today, trying to work out why both remotes went down from 15m to 1m range, even after fitting new batteries to both.

Photo encl.

Welcome.

Nice looking Jag.

No answer on the remotes, other than the Jag wants you close by, ha.

The people in the XK8/XKR (X100) section will have the answers for you.

Welcome to the forum Simon,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I know you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Europe Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
