The earlier XK8/XKR has long been a model where owners are "hands on" and a considerable body of knowledge has built up in that forum "stickies". The X150 has been out of production for more than eight years and is getting to a similar stage.

Manuals on adaptive headlamps for 2010 XKR?

 

I was going thru some of these links and it seems all the "mediafire" links are broken.

Just an FYI.

 

Yes they are... that's what happens when some knuclehead offends a very valued member that volunteered to host and maintain it.
What in particular are you looking for?

 

Sorry if I hit a nerve.

I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just doing some light reading, but thanks for all the wonderful info.

 

No apology necessary. I can coexist with knucleheads.
But if you are looking for any documentation, do let me know.

 

Is it possible to set up hosting elsewhere mebbe charge a nominal fee to cover expenses? I am looking for the workshop manuals for a 2015 xkr and the transmission service manual. Thanks,
Kenn
