Interesting, I need to do some more research. Do you have your spacers permanently fitted? Is your spacer steel or aluminium ? Here's a pic of the spacer I'm looking to get. Is yours different ? Hub AND wheel centric, with wheel centering registering lip to prevent vibration.

I can't find H&H Centric Spacers, did you mean H&R possibly. Are your spacers permanently fitted to the hubs ? This is where I'm going to be getting my 7mm spacer from https://motorsport-tech.com/wheel_spacers.html As it's specifically made for the job I'm not sure what the issue would be for temporary use with a steel space saver wheel. If there is something I've missed I can get the 7mm spacer made from steel rather than aluminium. Any advice greatly received before I push the button on the order. Thanks

You need a 7mm spacer so the space saver wheel fits over the Alcon 6 pot calliper on the rear wheels on the 20 inch rims see here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/spare-wheel-tire-xkrs-alcon-brakes-67260/

Thanks Steve We're taking her on a decent run to North Cornwall next week so I'm giving her a good going over to make sure, as much as I can, that everything's tip top. She's been very well looked after but to say the previous owner was not mechanically minded would be a bit of an understatement. I've got the car booked in on 12th July to have a new condenser fitted as the current one is U/S so no aircon just now and I'm getting the tracking done at the same time I'm looking to source a toolkit and space saver wheel over the coming weeks. I know that I need a 7mm spacer for the rear from the research that I've done and I've spotted the following toolkit from 2006 XKR on ebay. I'm guessing that the lug wrench will be the same size etc. Do you know if it will fit mine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401246942348?epid=1415871701&hash=item5d6c2e748c:g:feAAAOSwz2tZpHFh

Like a kid with a new toy on Christmas day. We picked up the XKR today, a 2008 X150 with 27,000 miles on the clock which has been well loved by its previous owner. Spent the afternoon fiddling around with settings and learning where everything is and then took her to have some new front tires fitted. The ones fitted to the car were the originals from 2008 .🤨 Also popped off the rear seat cover to take out fuse 19 for the exhaust valves . Free extra burble, what's not to love.😀 Quick question if I may, I can't get the audio system to recognise my USB stick with music on it. Can anyone say what format it accepts in term of the USB formatting, size, MP3s etc. I've attached a few pics and am looking forward to learning all about this beautiful girl.

Hello from a first time poster. We have our eye on a 2008 XKR convertible and have had the car inspected by a local Jaguar dealer who carried out a pre warranty inspection on the car for us so we could get the best health check before committing to buy it. I did quite a bit of research on the X150 XKRs before going to see it so was aware of the damp passenger footwell problems and noisy VTT. Both were fine on this car. Overall the car has clearly been well looked after. It has done under 30K miles and pretty much a full dealer service history. Visual inspection picked up the odd little mark on the paint but other than that it's in VGC. Test drive was dammed near perfect, smooth as a silk and no noises to be concerned about. It does need a new condenser but that's been factored into the price which I think is a good price compared to others on the market. What I need help on is the error codes that the inspection showed up. I know the car has had a flat battery a few times as it only does about 1,000 miles per year with the current owner. Are the codes massive red flags or is this pretty normal for a car of this age. I understand that cars generate fault codes all the time, especially when the battery goes flat. The car pretty much sailed through the inspection otherwise which is not bad bearing in mind it's 13 year old. Any advice would be greatly appreciated before we confirm the purchase. Many thanks Steve
