HEY...YES ANOTHER NEW GUY TO THE FORUM 97 XK8
1.NEED HELP WITH NOISE (SQUEAK) WHEN CAR IS COLD STOPS WHEN WARM
2.WATER LEAK I THINK BY WINDOWS
3.SOME BUTTONS ON RADIO LUMINATION LIGHTS R OFF...........PLEASE HELP

 

Where is your 'squeak' coming from?.. What kind of squeak, there are a dozen different types of squeaks.

 

Small leaks are common if a convertible.

Radio buttons, if on the radio itself, is not replaceable as far as I know, unless you take it apart. You can always buy a used radio on ebay and simply swap it out.

If the buttons you are referring to are on the auxillary row beneath the climate controls (heated seats, fogs, traction control, and hazard), these backlight bulbs CAN be replaced. Dealer sold me some when I had one burn out.

 

THANKS BUT ITS A HARD TOP COUPE.....LIGHTS R ON RADIO BUTTONS ONLY....EVERYTHING ABOVE THOSE WORK.

 

SOUND IS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD,SOUNDS LIKE THE FRONT AREA OF ENGINE ITS LIKE A WHINE IT LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN GOES AWAY

 

Probably belt noise, or from the plasticbelt idler pulley or tensioner pulley. There is an update which consists of new steel pulleys for both, and a new specification (slightly longer) belt.

You can spray a small amount of WD 40 on the belt when cold, that should momentarily silence the noise. Don't spray alot of anything on the belt, I had one jump off after doing this once to pinpoint the same noise.
