Default XK8 issues

I have a 1999 XK8 cabriolet and have numerous issues. The restricted performance. Light comes on intermittently and now the temperature gauge has stopped working. I guess the thermostat has stopped working ( a thing confirmed by my Jag dealer but he also says I need a new thermostat housing and a new radiator, which I believe to be a bit excessive to say the least) and very expensive where I live in the UAE. The restricted performance is down to plugs and coils according to them. Only had the car 6 weeks so not a happy choppy at the moment.

Welcome to the world of Jaguar!

A list of OBDII codes would be a great place to start.

Many of us have been there and are standing by to help but need a more specific place to start. How many miles on the car? Service/repair history?

What symptom caused the radiator/thermostat housing recommendation?
