Back window wont go up
yuo should be able to get them up if you check the fuses and the motors or it could be the way you did it manually the tops are really touchy and can sometimes create other problems if all fails take to a certified mechanic.
1997 Jaguar XK8 convertible power hood won't shut
There is a microswitch in the top that tells the windows to go up and down as the top does.
This has failed - not recognizing the top movement.
There are a couple of microswitches in the latch mechanism. If one is not closed, the windows won't rise.
Moving the top back down and then up will sometimes work. You can always find the two window relays and jump them to power the windows up in an emergency.
You can jump the relays to raise the windows .
One of three microswitches is not closing or opening correctly. Two are in the latch, one is at the bottom of the right side ram.
An elec guide and a DVOM will tell you which is at fault.
If there is a message by your instruments saying the top is not latched - re-check your locking mechanisms to be sure they are fully engaged.
Also check for missing or loose bolts on the top latch. This will not allow the proper seating, and will not trip the limit.
If you require further help, please use the "continue with this expert" feature so we are connected in the future.
Thanks for using FixYa :D
Roof wont close or open stuck jaguar xk8 2ooo
I hope by now you have
resolved your problem but if not you need to familiarize yourself with
the convertible top pump located in the truck on the right side behind
the liner. There is a small valve you can turn to release hydrolic
pressure and then manually close the top. You will need the allen tool
to manually open the top latch. Once you get the top fully latched you
can turn the pressure valve fully back and your top operations should
return to normal -- at least for my friend it did when he did the exact same
thing. This procedure is also detailed in your manual.
Best of luck - hope that helps.
What is stability control? light came on
Hi
Sounds like usual gremlins kicked in to your computer, with the flat battery.
Disconnect both terminals of the battery, switch on the ignition to start position 6 times, to clear the computer memory.
Reconnect Positive terminal + then Negative --- and start engine, and check it out.
I am pretty sure it will not come back on.
Also I suggest you get the battery tested soon as possible.
( Is it the original battery ?) If so, its shot !
Good Luck !
Please give me a FixYa rating please !
Let me know how you get on .

Holden Barina 1996 Car is
Hi! Was the thermostat and other items replaced due to this overheating? you say coolant level full? maybe your header tank is full but the system isn't? Try bleeding the system. From cold, start the engine with radiator/header tank cap OFF stay with the vehicle and have some very warm water handy. DON'T look over the filler but watch it as the car gets to operating temperature if the water drops drastically top it up with warm water again stay with the car it may take a long time to level out. If the car is bubbling furiously and doesn't want to settle then possible HEAD GASKET Failure or Water pump.
Does your oil look milky on the dipstick? is there an excessive amount of water coming out of the exhaust? are your hoses swelling with radiator/header tank cap on at operating temp?
Sorry to be the possible bearer of bad tiding if the Gasket has gone, but better to sort it now than cause irreprable damage?
Cranks but wont start stability control light comes on
OK.....sounds like its flooded thats all......Put the battery on charge to ensure its fully charged,Un clip the top of the air filter housing so it is loose and you can see the filter. put your foot to the floor on the accelerator pedal and crank the engine,keep it cranking and cranking until it actually fires up,even when its trying to and it sounds to have fired up,wait until it actually starts to rev up then stop cranking and release the pedal,it may pop and bang through the air filter pipework and it also may smoke at first but once its warmed up a bit take it for a spin.The stability control light will come on because of a drop in battery voltage and should go out when its started up....hope that helps
Need source for new 1997 XK8 convertible front coil springs
Hi
Yes front coil springs are what you need !
I think the spares situation for Jaguars, is disgusting with the main dealers.
I have been trying to source them myself, for about 2 weeks, and only found ****, painted up second hand ones.
I will keep trying, and let you know if I am lucky and find a source for genuine new springs.
Best Wishes

1997 Jaguar XK8 cooling system
The radiator drain is on the right lower corner of the radiator (passenger)
You can use a wide flat blade screwdriver to unscrew it.
Is is held in by a piece of plastic so you don't have to worry about losing it when draining. just loosen it and leave it there.
