My F-i-L has had the warning lights on his XK8 for the last couple of days.

Apparently it has gone into limp home mode and limits him to 3k rpm.

He is living and working between Guildford and Woking, but he is from Yorkshire originally, so he doesn't know of any good Jag Indies in the area.

Can anyone recommend someone? Are there any common engine/ sensor faults on the early 4.2 V8 engine?

Cheers,

Dom

Luxton Independent Jaguars at Boxhill are good.

I think the car broke down in the end...

So, he had it recovered!

It was a pair of coils in the end - £500!
