I'll give you $350 for it, and not a penny more.

$350 is as high as I will go for your little test-drive souvenir.
Really just paying for your hard work.

Hey Jahummer, did Cee Jay cost you a sale with his wire nut suggestion. Sheesh.

Why not start manufacturing replacement knobs, use the valve stem cover shown in my avatar, mate it with a $5 3d printed part. Its a genuine Jaguar part.

I feel I was the only helpful one as I alerted him that he can get one on a test drive.
As opposed to trying to sell him one from a test drive.

Default Volume knob

I've got a 2008 XKR and no volume knob on the stereo. Anyone know where to find a suitable replacement?

This came up a while ago, search back a couple months. I forget what the answer was but I think something else fit in the stock part's place.

So, apparently someone cranked up the volume and ripped the knob off? I didn't think anyone actually took those DJ's literally.

I think this is about as close as you can get without spending stupid amounts of money or having outrageous luck finding a 2nd hand one.

You need to cover the the shiny bit with fake vinyl carbon fiber to save weight.

Ha, seems weird right? My dealer tried to deliver my car without a volume knob, was there when I test drove the car. Turns out they had it detailed before I arrived and he uses compressed air to blow out the cracks. The knob was a vortex victim. They looked for my knob and couldn't find it so I refused the car and they ended up pulling one from another used car. Push the issue down the line I guess.
