Is there a problem with the drain pipe on a Jaguar XKR?
I found on the forum that it is a known issue with the drain pipe, which Jaguar have redesigned and sell for about £5, but fitting is a dash out job and they charge £370! Actually this is less than I was quoted from my favourite Indipendent specialist (£500+) as Jaguar now do it on a fixed price with 2.8 hours labour.
What should I do if my Jaguar XK battery goes bad?
If your battery is more than 3 years old – replace it. But the very BEST thing you can do, which will permanently eliminate any electrical issues is to keep the Jag on a “battery minder”, permanently attached, and plugged in when the car is not actually in use. The new version XK (2007 on) is a superb car.
