Hi
Here is information on 2001 XK converible top hydraulic system that I extracted from the Jaguar Shop repair manual:

1st is a PDF file I created from JTIS21 - Body and Paint -Convertible Top -Description and Operation:

2001 XK Converible Top operation.pdf

I also copied the following text from the removal & install section (only a partial part of the install -starting with step 16):


16. Check hydraulic system for satisfactory operation and freedom from leaks:
1. Power top to fully raised position.
2. Power top to fully lowered position.
3. Power top to fully raised position.

17. CAUTION:
Two fluid levels are marked on the pump reservoir body. The upper mark
denotes the fluid level when the top is fully lowered and the lower mark
denotes the level when the top is fully raised.

NOTE:
The convertible top hydraulic system is 'self-bleeding' and does not require further
action to expel entrapped air.

Slacken and remove pump reservoir filler plug.

18. Check fluid level and top up as necessary to lower mark on reservoir.
19. Fit and tighten reservoir filler plug.

Jim,

Nice summary document. I've saved it off, going to put it on my smart phone - just in case I need a reminder on the manual operation some day!
