I am wondering what happened to the Sport Mode readout that appears in the speedo dial? Has it gone on permanent vacation? The button on the console lights up and that's all. Any ideas on how to fix this will be appreciated.

 

Curious; I don't recall ever seeing a Sport Mode readout in my speedo window; I've only ever seen the console button light. Note to self: check it next time out and report back.

 

Nope no "Sport Mode" indication on the dash in my 03.

 

The Sport Mode readout did appear on my speedo dial bit if it doesn't on others than I must be in good shape. Thanks for the replies.

 

Slazz, please do add your year /model to signature. It's will help us help you mate.

Thanks John

 

Hi,

My Jaguar is a 2006 XK8 convertible.

 

........and a picture

 

Confirmed; no Speedo readout, only a light in the console button. Seems to work ok, though...

 

Perhaps I was seeing something that wasn't there. Perhaps I was confusing the readout with the DSC readout. Not certain but I could be losing it. Thanks anyway for the replies. You guys on this forum are very, very helpful!!!

 

Who is to say? My doors used to unlock by themselves when I turned the ignition off, now I have to pull on the door handle to unlock the doors. I believe it is a dealer (software) setting, but it's not worth spending $95 to have the dealer set it. Perhaps the Sport Button readout is the same way...???

 

I think you are on to something. The Sport Mode readout was there, at least I thought it was there but it disappeared. Learning more about these cars makes me think it's possible a gremlin lives in my car. Who knows. All I know is the car is running good, shifts smoothly and the engine runs without any problems.

Next up are the front shocks and poly shock mounts. I do have a purge valve issue that is present when the tank drops below 1/4 full. Other than that....all is good for the time being.
