Anyone know if there Is a way to overide the speed limiter on a 61 plate 5.0 convertable? I know on the old xk 4.0 If you left it In 4th then shifted it into D it would go past 155?!

Don't know of any proper trick like that but to be fair they are pretty "soft" limiters any way. Saw 165+ in both XFR & XKR with GPS data system at the Jaguar test track at Gaydon....

Don't think the Gaydon cars I tried XFR/XKR were de-limited
I could feel the soft limiter kick in at an indicated 165/170 ish (probably a true 160ish) - there was clearly more to come
