coolant issue
2 weeks ago I had the low coolant light come on. I topped up the expansion tank with about 1 cup of coolant and all was good until yesterday. I checked the level and when I removed the cap it still had negative pressure even though I hadn't driven the car in a week. and I could hear the coolant gurgling into the overflow tank. I don't think I have a leak since the pressure didn't relieve itself. After a short drive it was puking coolant out of the nipple shown in the picture. (this isn't my car I got the picture from the internet) I put another cup of coolant into expansion tank and it ran fine with no leaks once again. is this just a bad cap?

I see a new tank in your future.

Before I replaced just one part, I would begin by performing a pressure test to determine the health of the entire cooling system. Fix it once by including all known failure points.
These cars have cooling issues at the T-Stat housing (shown), the coolant overflow tank, the tank sensor, the heating hoses behind the engine, and misc hoses like the two solid plastic lines connected to the overflow tank. Get a pressure tester on there to insure the rest of the system is up to spec. g.

I just bought one a couple weeks ago. The best price I found was here (around $147 incld. shipping): Jaguar Parts by Model XK8 / XKR*-*COOLING SYSTEM If you can't find it listed, search the part number and it will come up.
