Default New 2006 XK8 Owner

Third time trying to post, so here is abbreviated version.
Just purchased 2006 XK8. Looking forward to getting off double secret probation so I can begin accessing helpful info.

Have the same year and model. You will love it. This is one of the only cars I have that my wife wants to drive all the time. She could careless about cars, but not this one.

Does anyone know where I can go to learn about "Claimed Field Service Action" codes? Because there was uncertainty as to which options my car came with, I had a local dealer run the VIN and give me a report, which was nice. In adidition to premium sound, 19" wheels and nav - which I already knew - it turns out that it has auto-leveling xenon headlamps, which is neat. On the report was also the instances where warranty work was done and the codes mentioned above were listed. Was curious as to what these were.

PS Will post picture of this near pristine '06 when I get a chance.

Default Folding Mirrors

Also, did the imported XK-8s typically have power folding mirrors? For other Jag models, this option seemed to be only on the UK/European models. I would note that the report I got from the dealer did not have a "Power Folding Mirror" option listed. All of the other options were in BOLD. If Power Folding Mirrors were standard, though, they might not have been listed in bold.

Has anyone attempted leather repair and/or purchased repair materials from the furniture clinic (uk)?
