Hello readers, I just enrolled to this forum, and wondered if anyone else had found a similar problem with their 07 XKR. Twice now, when parking, I've hit both the brake and gas pedal- with unpleasant results. In my long life of motoring, and over 100 different cars (yes ,really), this has never occured before, and I don't think I've reached the stage of diminished responsibility just yet. Could it just be that the pedals are too close for a standard size 9? Picked the car up from the paintshop yesterday, and the bruised nose of my Botanical Green convertible is back to gleaming perfection. Apart from this , I am enjoying the car, and maybe need to use it a little more. I'm lucky to have two American 60's full size classics, and a Dodge Magnum in glowing red for daily use, and thankfully have no problems parking these next to my unforgiving garage walls. Alan.

Haven't had this problem yet and I stand on 13 medium shoes. The car that I drove that had the biggest problem was an old Lambo . Usually a 3 peddle car had narrow spacing but haven't had this with the XKR

 

Have not had a minute's problem with mine.....
Happy Easter Folks!

 

I'm nowhere near your 100 different cars, my count is about 45. The only detrimental pedal situation I've ever had is in a Drag Car I built. I made the brake pad too large so I just hacked off the accelerator side of it and GTG.
I've never had a problem with my XKR and I've got some size 12s.

... are you SURE there isn't an inkling of dementia starting?

 

Remember that commentary from LHD drivers may not
apply to RHD drivers.

For example, LHD X308 drivers complain bitterly about
the pedal arrangement while RHD drivers say everything
is just fine.

 

absolutely--who are you?

 

I'm in the LHD complainer category.

The actual problem is the accelerator pedal offset,
and hanging the toe on obstructions when trying
for the throttle. The opposite of what you have.

It helps on the LHD X308 to trim the heating duct just above
the accelerator pedal. It's only plastic so it can be trimmed
easily with a hacksaw blade, mirror and flashlight.

 

Can't say that I have experienced any 'pedal' problems with my XK.

 

size 16 tripple f width shoes, I sometimes knick the brake pedal, I've never hit the gas while on brake though, 2010 xkr

 

I don't have any foot-placement issues, but I brake with my left foot.

 

Strange issue to have, i never had this problem, like you Ngarara i do the left foot braking.
briggal, you could super glue one of your shoes on the brake pedal, just slip in and out when needed
