Very good chance that the 'tilt' motor needs replacing. Both tilt and reach are common problems.

You can disconnect the tilt motor connector and measure the resistance but I would just suggest that you remove the motor. The 'tilt' is a lot easier than the 'reach'.

At the top of the XK8/R forum there is a FAQ Sticky that has most of the reoccurring issues with these cars listed in alphabetical order, along with a ton of documentation and reference material. At the top of the 'General Tech Help' there is a Sticky that provides a free down load of the JTIS CD. That is the official Jaguar repair and service manual.

Two specific links in the FAQ Sticky relating to tilt/reach problems are:

Disconnect the motor and operate the switch, if it doesnt blow the fuse its the motor. Or replace the motor cause just about every issue is a result of a motor problem
