Default Convert. Top hydraulic reservoir

My convertible top on my 1997 XK8 moves in slow motion. Can someone tell me where the hydraulic fluid reservoir is.

Thank you

In the trunk, passenger side (US) over the CD player.

If you still have the old yellow fluid originally in the early models it tends to gel and needs to be replaced with Pentosin CHF-11S, which is dark green.

See www.jagrepair.com for lots of info on the top.

It's in the right hand side of the boot/trunk behind the carpet.

The older fluid has been known to gel and should be changed to the newer spec.
