There is a known issue with water from the windscreen washer pump wicking into the electrics, specifically causing corrosion in the Central Junction Box/fuse panel in the drivers footwell, which can result in all kinds of electrical issues. There is an updated washer pump and wiring as a fix but it is not a cheap job so worth checking for signs of water ingress and corrosion in the said panel. There is plenty of info about this if you do a Google search. Worth a look.

Either your battery is completely flat or your alternator has gone south either way, some voltage checks would prove useful.

Not quite, the 10 has the same supply function.

Will not start, sitting to long without running.

I doubt that very much. No. Replace the battery with a new, fully charged one and then get yourself a battery maintainer and keep it hooked up when not in use. -
I did think initially, from your description, that it sounded like the alternator as it happened to me a few years ago. Good news is, it will be sorted at the dealership and you won’t have to worry about resetting anything as they should do it all for you.

You don’t need one Jon. Replace battery, reset park brake, windows and reset BMS and away you go. Or, hook up a temporary supply under the bonnet, change the battery and you shouldn’t lose anything.

Bit fiddly but an hour of taking your time should see it done and working for just the price of the part.

That’s a relief and much cheaper than a new alternator.
-
That sounds more like the alternator giving up.

Door locks are plug and play so that price will be more to do with labour and the cost of a new part.

Heater does not run warm at low revs
Jimbov8 replied to lesxk8's topic in XK8 / XKR ( X100) 1996 - 2006
An improvement sounds good though I would say you still have some air in the system. If you can live with it then fair enough, but do keep an eye on the temperature gauge if you go on any longer runs. -
That is standard.😊

Park the car so it is pointing slightly uphill. Take the cap off the reservoir and then allow the car to run up to temp at idle. When the stat opens the coolant will flow around the system and the car will burp itself at the reservoir. -
Exactly this. The 2nd or 3rd version will be ideal for your car. Do ensure that you get one from a reputable source such as Diagnostic World.

No probs. Please keep us updated on your progress.

In that case the fusible link may have blown. If you look on the positive terminal you should find a single wire attached. This is the positive supply to the BMS module which is attached to the negative terminal. The fusible wire is covered with a black sheath at the positive terminal and is about 3 inches long. A continuity test will prove whether it is intact or not. If it has blown then replace it.
