Hi all,

Bought a 2003 XK8 4.2 a few weeks ago, grey anthracite with beige interior and 150k km (nearly new...).

Done a few jobs, like door microswitch, so the windows behave properly (myself), underbody rust protection (myself), headliner/a-posts/sun visors, oil change, boot respray.

Today, trying to work out why both remotes went down from 15m to 1m range, even after fitting new batteries to both.

Welcome.

Nice looking Jag.

No answer on the remotes, other than the Jag wants you close by, ha.

The people in the XK8/XKR (X100) section will have the answers for you.
