Hi everyone,

Just joined the forum and looking forward to being of help to XK8 (X100)
owners, wherever I can.

Have a late 2005 4.2S (non SC) in Copper black with cream/carbon fibre trim. 4 owners and 108k miles - runs like silk.

Factory extras include: Brembo discs, 20" Sepangs, premium audio, hands-free phone, heated seats, sports auto mode and DSC delete.

Have fixed the following issues during two year ownership: ABS/DSC fault,
coolant low warnings, no cruise/rear lights fault, passenger door drop, handbrake, heater panel lights, jumpy gear change.

Hi goosey and welcome.

Is this the iPhone thing? You can rotate images with old-fashioned Windows 'Paint'. One of the mods will most likely drop by and spin them round for you.

HTH,

Welcome, nice looking car you have there.




Sounds like your well into sorting your car.

How did you fix your door drop?
