Hi all, just joined the site, and finding my way around. Bought the car 3 weeks ago just before our hols in Turkey. It is a replacement for my previous XKR a 2002 black convtible. It was my pride and joy but got written off in january by a kindly dutchman who had forgotton he was in the Uk and was driving on my side of the road and we met head on around a blind corner
I decided to go for the alli bodied latest model in silver this time, as although the black looked great when just cleaned, it didn't stay that way for long
Although the car ran superbly when I first bought it, the active lighting warning light came on last week, back to the dealer, it was the active module that was faulty, over £700 for a new one luckily not me paying, I hope this isnt a sign of things to come?
I will post pics when i work out how to do it, any guidence gratefully received.

 

Welcome - Very nice choice. My preference is black, but I do spend my life keeping it cleaned.

The new style XKR should be pretty reliable. Just an anomaly, hopefully.

One thing - Do NOT be fooled by the notation in the Driver's handbook that you cannot accidentally lock the smart FOB in the car. It does lock itself in. I know a few who have, at the most inconvenient times...with the motor running and no spare fob. Always take it out of the car when exiting!

All the Best,

 

Hi! Nice car you got there!

Welcome to the forum!

 

Since these cars are built by you all, I guess we have to let POMs on to the forum. I'm a Yank living in Aussie by the way. I love those XKRs. Congrats.

 

Thanks for the welcome, the silver beast has been fixed and I am picking her up tomorrow, have had withdrawal symptoms since she has been away, yes will post pics when I am "allowed"

Welcome M11POW, ah top down, and zooming along the M11, wind through your hair, music in the background....and..... Flash goes the Camera.

Take care.

 

sounds like a sweet whip, enjoy her!

 

Well I would love to show my new lady off, yet still cannot upload my photos, and despite two memos to the webmaster, have not received a reply yet as to what is wrong

 

Just sent you a PM to test. Looks OK to me. Doubt that you would receive replies from the webmaster in this.

What on screen message are you seeing?

 

Unlikely you will get a reply from the webmaster. Contact either the mods or myself if you have any issues on the site.
You have full access, I've checked and everything seems fine this end!
