Low battery voltage in the XK ( and many modern cars) causes random system symptoms including but not limited to warning lights, door, window, seat problems, frozen or slow touch screen action, convertible roof and window issues...and in virtually every case the cause is low battery voltage.
Once you have a new battery, purchase a CTEK battery maintainer and use it whenever the car is not in use. You will eliminate the possibility of the failures named above and like the rest of us who use the maintainer, you will have a completely problem -free XK ( because you have the 4.2 litre version). These are amazingly reliable cars - amazing because something this beautiful is not usually also reliable. The XK is.
Is anyone else here getting tired of repeating the battery mantra?
I for one..., totally agree with this advice. Having experienced many if not all listed problems (window, seat, convertible top, etc.), buying a new battery and using a CTEK battery maintainer made the XK ownership experience great again... jagjeep
