  1. Here is your used alternative; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197751468611?_ul=UK&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338703918&toolid=20006&_xiid=197751468611&customid=EAIaIQobChMIipLg2bjRkAMVoqNQBh29ogBWEAQYFiABEgJgKfD_BwE|0AAAAADtppYcNTR6U4rnW9mO8rbJto69ha|CkwKCAjwvJHIBhBGEjwAKJvepBSJCYniFF2Fn977LumwU7BaVEIxMjd51uOJ0X3MJexILgPeHIYyDxa52OW1kieKNgoZRC1YcB0aAjxl&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIipLg2bjRkAMVoqNQBh29ogBWEAQYFiABEgJgKfD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAADtppYcNTR6U4rnW9mO8rbJto69ha&wbraid=CkwKCAjwvJHIBhBGEjwAKJvepBSJCYniFF2Fn977LumwU7BaVEIxMjd51uOJ0X3MJexILgPeHIYyDxa52OW1kieKNgoZRC1YcB0aAjxl&loc_interest_ms=&loc_physical_ms=9046368&adtype=pla&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23120818549&gbraid=0AAAAADtppYcNTR6U4rnW9mO8rbJto69ha
  2. Hi Alex, here is the electrical manual for your car that will help you narrow it down; http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/Elect-Tech All2/2012 XF - X250Comp.pdf
  3. This site may have them and they have supplied the part numbers also; https://www.duckworthparts.co.uk/jaguar/jaguar-f-type-pair-of-carbon-fibre-mirror-coversjx1522
  4. Very scarce indeed but within this thread is a guy who manufactures replacements; https://forums.jag-lovers.com/t/replacement-for-ac-idler-pulley-bearing-eac3042-pulley-carrier-ebc1091/374604
  5. Use a piece of dental floss or thin fishing line, slide it behind and then using a to and fro motion slowly proceed from one end to the other. You will cut through the backing without damaging the paintwork. Then use a mild solvent to remove the excess on the panel. Make sure you mark where the badge sits first.
  6. Have a look here; https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/interior-rear-view-mirror-13104/jaguar/xk/xk-8-convertible-qdv
  7. You must be referring to the red button on the lock mechanism itself which is inside. If that button is in the down position then your only hope is to get the key working in the lock. Keep working the key and flushing it out, it does take time.
  8. If you are referring to the button in the middle of the boot plinth then that is another boot release switch. It is a push button switch. If it looks as though it is stuck in then try to release it with a watchmaker’s screwdriver. With reference to the key lock, how far can you turn the key when inserted. If you’re not able to turn far enough then it won’t unlock. Try WD40 and then working the lock, it may be gunged up through lack of use.
  9. Some more info on the keys; The one on the left is the Valet key; on the right is one of the Black 'all function' keys. Not a lot of difference in the photo On the Valet key, the Green head is near enough the same shade as the surround of the Jaguar emblem in the centre. The Black key should be a contrast. If you look at the tip of the Valet key, it's different from the Black keys. The Black keys have a 'collar' cut round the tip which the Valet key doesn't. This shows up in the photo
  10. Keep us updated as to how you get on.🤙
  11. Yes it will as it is purely mechanical.🙄
  12. Hi Eddie, watch this video from 4 mins in, it may help you get in.
  13. The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust may be able to fill in some background for the car. An email to them with as much information as possible may bear some more details.
  14. Eaton M112 oil from Powerhouse. It carries the same specs as the Jet oil such as the US Military performance standards.
  15. Welcome to the forum. This thread may help; https://www.jaguarforum.com/threads/fuel-flap-does-not-lock.79891/
