Unfortunately for many of the Jaguar models there is only one fuse for all the functions of each seat. The fuse locations can be found in the electrical section of the owners manual or Roadside emergency service section of the Vehicle Care Manual. In a 2000 XK8 the fuse for the drivers seat is fuse #1 (20A) located in the drivers side fascia fusebox (at left end of instrument panel). Not sure if it was changed from 1997 but doubt it.

Had problem of seat fuse blowing on XJ8 every time the headrest adjustment was attempted (shorted motor). Very tiring to deal with but be aware if fuse continues to blow you might have a motor or wiring problem. Good luck.

SOURCE: 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

John

SOURCE: where is the fuse for the electric seat on the

The fuse for the power seat on the driver side in a 2002 X-Type is located in the passenger compartment fuse box. This fuse box is located on the driver side of the car, under the dash.
The fuse you are looking for is a green 30 amp fuse in position F66. Where is F66? When you open the fuse box, you will see some larger relays with 4 rows of fuses below it. The first row has a series of 7 fuses, an open space and then one single fuse on the right had side of the fuse box. The fuse you are looking for is the 7th in the row (the last one in the large grouping of fuses on the first row of fuses.

Thank you for using the fixya forums!

SOURCE: Jaguar XK8 Remote Locking problem

check your lock relays located in the interior fuse panel. Sometimes the actual connections to the fuse block can come lose and the relays wont work properly. My 2000 silverado did the same thing till i bent the pins on the relay for a tighter fit.
hope this helps

SOURCE: where is the battery located on a 1997 xk8

Haven't tinkered with that year but previous Jaguars had the battery under the shelf behind the driver's seat.

1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible. Can convertible top pressure hose be repaired other than replaced? Is there a kit?

Question edited for clarity and typos.
Question moved to model category.

No of course not. the hoses are under extreme hydraulic pressure, that is what makes them rupture, you can't repair them.

Here are the hose kits
