Gave my local dealer my VIN and many ??'S
The Direct Dealer Warranty - Vehicle Details
Paper work shows I have a AC w/Air Filter. Mind you my car is a 1997 with a birth date that appears to be 12/23/1996 and sold on 2/14/1997.
Should I take this print out as gospel that I have this cabin filter??? It would explain why I have ALWAYS felt that this blower fan on the HVAC was really lame. It blows it hardest that would match any of my ither cars low to MAYBE med at best.
It also says I have Head Lamp Power wash but can't say I have ever seen anything squirt on the head lights!!!
Everything else on the print out about the car is correct.

Thsi print out also gives Serial Numbers for a lot of things. Body, differential, airbags left and right, Engine num, front axle, gearbox, left and right sensors???, rear axle, SAFING sensor???
I suspect these may come in handy for me at soem point or another???

The only reason I knew I had headlight washers was because one of them was misadjusted and it squirted straight up in the air. The headlight washers work when you activate the windshield washer. Have someone sit in the car and hold in the washer switch while you watch from the front. After about 5 seconds the headlight washers should come on.
Cars are considered classics after 30 years. You're almost halfway there.

Yea, ha ha ha. EVen got the orig owner of the car name and info, may drop him a letter and see if he has any history on it. It shows a # also but I think that may be rude to call? What ya think?

Call him! I think it would be cool to get a call from someone who bought a car I used to own. I had a '73 Dodge Charger back in the early 80's. I've often wondered if it's still on the road.
The 'casual part number' is intended to be a significant part replaced under the Jaguar warranty. It may be only one of many dealt with on this repair but all that is buried within Jaguar's data base as far as this report is concerned. Use one of the part number look up sources to get an idea of what was repaired.

Take a look at your headlight, if you have power washers there will be a little glass door at the bottom( it will actually move), if not the glass door is actually molded into the glass headlight cover, I would also like to see a list of the dealer codes and what they mean.

The light clean things, I have a pc that just plugs into a device that would be the squirters?? It is a plastic glass surface like part that comes off but it is just a dummy pc, does not look functional and is not part fo the lenses themselves.
The 'casual part numbers' are simply the part numbers available at the top of the XK8/R FAQ Sticky. The 'S' numbers refer to the 'Service Actions' also in the XK8/R Sticky's under XK8 TSB's.
