Good Morning,

Total Jag newbie.

Will be picking up a 2006 XKR-S 4.2 with "sports quad exit exhaust". at end of week.

"One of the last to be built" so it's not the last XKR series/model.

During test drive I thought the exhaust was very quiet and was going to try removing the fuse (behind rear seat) however after reading about I'm not sure my model has a fuse (19) to remove?

If not I shall start sorting out an aftermarket.

So query is really simple - has mine a fuse 19 to remove (the 2006 year class puts it on the edge of both models!).

 

Welcome to the forum Mark99,

The last steel bodied XK8/XKR came off the Browns Lane production line on Friday 27th May 2005. An XKR 4.2S Coupe which was given to the JDHT collection. Unusual but not unknown to have one of the last produced registered in the UK in 2006 when the new aluminium XK was already in the showrooms.

The 'fuse 19' applies to the later XK model. The only thing you'll find behind the back seat on the earlier model is a telephone module.

Great thanks Graham. I will be looking them for a slight mod just to up the noise a little.

Ok guys - added a brief intro.

One thing - what colour < I know it's Blue!> lets say shade do you reckon the car is? image in the intro and below a different view.

 

Mark, your colour is Zircon Blue and one that is favoured by many, look after it as it's a great looking car.

 

As it's a 4.2S, it's probably Frost Blue, a colour introduced specially for that model, but continued for some other models afterwards. (Well, mine is anyway!)

 

+1

Looks like my 2005 Frost Blue XK8 4.2-S Final Series.



You'll tell for sure when you get your hands on it. The colour code is on the passenger door label:



Frost Blue is JJZ.

Graham

 

Cheers chaps. I pick it up Friday.

The sales blurb said "Pacific Blue Pearl" but I could not find a Jag ref to that shade.

I'll post back when I get the code.

 

This is my 2001 XK8 in Pacific Blue (JHM).



Not even a contender for the colour of yours!

Graham

 

Yes it is indeed JJZ = Air Blue Frost (metallic).
