Hi Think you need to get any DTC codes read. Like everything else on these cars it is not a simple wire to the bulb, an earth connection and a switch. There are a whole host of computer modules, leveling sensors, motors, LAN connections, warning lights etc. etc. A fault in any will cause issues. I am waiting for a diagnostic on the "Camera Unavailable" issue after my supplying non-jag dealer diagnosed faulty parking sensor which is still not working after replacing it 😞 In my case itis probably a faulty front bumper wiring loom which if faulty closes down both camera and parking assistance system and gives a really loud 3 second warning so that you know you are "flying solo". Without a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) you end up chasing your tail and just replacing parts and hoping it works. Regards John

Hello ! New member introduction 🙂 I used to own an X308 and loved it very muchly. My wife unfortunately disliked it more than she disliked me... So I sold it and bought a motorbike - becuase that helps 😛 In 2018, I clicked past a big number and began my research and last year indulged my Jaguar fantasy once more. I am now the proud owner of a 2013 XKR convertible. Its in a powder blue / grey depending on which way the light is shining with a cream leather interior. I have imported the car to France, by some stroke of luck the guy doing the French MOT tested it as a UK car and gave me a certificate. Just before Brexit, it is now sitting on new plates in my garage half an hour south of Paris. No major niggles just yet... but these are thoroughbred race horses... so I am mentally prepared for both genetic issues and issues arising from a thoroughbred temperament. e.g. Pedestrian Impact Protection System - fixed under warranty (Phew). Look forward to picking your brains, specifically over headlight conversion, bumper removal and cleaning the valves of direct injection engines ! Happy New Year & Happy Motoring 2021 can't be any worse than 20201 🙂 Andy

Hi Andy_K .... welcome to the Club Haha, totally understand about the motorbike, same situation here! France is a lovely place to live (done that myself) and blessed with superb driving roads. You certainly have the right car to benefit from these roads as well. Good to have you onboard and stay safe!

Porsche guy all my life ( RSRconcept.com ) but have long admired the XK150 Coupe. So I'm joining here in hopes of learning enough about them to buy the right car. Yes, I'm looking. Is this forum mainly UK folks? Is there a better place for us Yanks? Thank you and hello all. Rick
