Glad you figured it out Maria.
Also check out the Frequently Asked Question thread in our XK8 section that has a ton of useful links to other threads and some off site resources. Check out the links to the convertible top, you're needing to add hydraulic fluid is worrying me. Its a sealed system, and if you're losing it, its leaking somewhere, either the top latch, or at the rams/pistons that actually do the work on the top lowering and raising. Last time I heard a post about checking their fluid, about a week later, the owner got the 'green shower' and had to replace all the hoses.
Hope you fair better!

navigation issue
Hi Gus,
Nice to hear from you. I don't really need anything, thanks.
But I spotted your post on MPC regarding the frustrating "Navigation DVD" issue -- which provided a link to this site -- and I was unable to open your attached PDF file in message #49. So I joined the Forum, and still couldn't open anything. It was while browsing that I discovered Matt's reminder to new members.
Don't know if I'll ever get to the requisite ten posts in order to obtain "permission," considering my inactivity of late. However, I still try to stay informed, and follow select topics.
Hello to all who remember me from elsewhere. You're in my thoughts, even though I'm no longer an active participant.

As a general rule, no, unless a safety recall is also involved. That is not to say there might not be the rare negotiated exception.

Wow! Too bad TSB 303-30 about tensioner upgrades with customer complaints, wasn't "still" active. I assume that the factory upgraded those who complained and let the rest be "blissfully" unaware. However, it would be way cool if they would replace mine now...I'M COMPLAINING ALREADY!!!

Convertible Top Needs Helping Hand
I have a 2004 XK8 Convertible. The top sometimes will not raise past the high point of travel unless I give it a helping hand. When I do not give it help, sometimes there is a beep from the control system and then the top subsides. ALso sometimes it takes so long to latch or unlatch that I give it a hand.
I have read the TSB posted and other related threads. The fluid level in the reservoir is above the marks when the top is down - is this correct?
The valve handle on the pump body is firmly closed.
As it is a 2004 model I assume that it does not have the older fluid that caused gel problems.
Any thoughts on remedies?

TSB for head rest inop
Would the TSB regarding the headrest also apply to a 2001 XK8? I have 2 that are not working and am a bit hesitant to take the seat apart without knowing what i'm getting into.
Thanks
I can't wait until I get my 10 posts in so that I can download .pdfs
