Has anyone experienced problems with the Satallite Navigation in an XKR?

My 2000 XKR has a nasty habit of losing the direction the car is travelling in. Ussually in the same area, on some occassions the car will appear to be travelling backwards. The GPS must be working because it is moving along the road every few seconds, but the arrow is pointing in the wrong direction, and the voice prompt tells me to do a u-turn if it is possible.

On other occassions the map has actually began to spin, which is fun. (and no I am not doing donuts at the time)

It is not the age of the DVD because it does the same thing with the Nov 2003 DVD, as it does with the 2000 DVD.

Jag is checking it out today. I wonder if it is a dodgy GPS antena.

Do you know what the problem was with your XK8? Jag have said that they cant find a problem.

I suppose I am not having much luck, but in a way I am having a lot of luck.

I bought the car in March. It was under warranty until October. So far it has had a new engine, rear suspension, and steering rack.

Normally some of the little niggles like the sat nav, which is only occasional would get left. However since it is under warranty I may as well press on to get them sorted.

The warranty has paid out nearly £9,000 in the last 4 months. How lucky is that?
