Welcome to the forums sol123456,

I've moved your question from X150 to X100 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Idles fast ...how fast.
Step one is to take the thermostat out put it in a pan of water and if it opens as you heat it.
A better title would have been " Fast idle and overheating Xk8"
