I ALMOST had a bad day...
Took the XKR to the emissions testing station, everything passed fine. I got back into the car and totally Black Touch Screen. Shut off engine, closed doors, locked and unlocked car and tried again. Black Touch Screen! DAMMIT!!!
Well, I got home and kept thinking "Battery. Battery. Battery." like I should think. I hooked up the charger.... "FULL BATTERY".
YAY!!!! <---sarcasm, should be 'dammit again'. (had just got back from a 100 mile round-trip, so actually no surprise)
Did a hard reset, and waddayano..... All is well in Jag Country.
So now the registration is good for another year and I still have a TSD.

Many thanks, Stuart.
The instruction says to disconnect the negative and touch it to the *still connected* positive. If you connect the neg and pos terminals to one pole of the battery at the same time, doesn't this cause a short circuit? I am not questioning the advice - just seeking clarification over something I would have normally been careful to avoid doing. (As you can tell, my tech knowledge is 'limited' ). Thanks.
EDIT: I didn't initially spot the link you kindly added. Read that thread now and I *think* I see where I was getting it wrong. The advice is NOT to connect the neg and pos terminals of the battery together, but to connect the neg and positive terminals *to each other*. Subtle, but important difference. Thanks again.

I did very little to my XKR today besides putting the passenger side piece of my front splitter back on after scraping it pretty good last week. But more exciting was I got my '68 Goat back from restoration after several years and can now stare at it in my driveway. This has been my dream car since high school 52 years ago. Rides like a Cadillac limousine, but boy does it look sexy. Just look at that hood!

Did you realize that you posted this in the X150 Forum, for 2007-2015 XK/XKR models? Your Public Profile and signature show that you have a 2002 XKR, which is an earlier X100 model. You'll have more interest if you repost this in the X100 Forum.

Today installed x pipe. What an upgrade! Better sound, no more american v8 rattling (previously had mid resonator delete), sound is more crispier, more moderate, more appropriate. On the other hand, car feels like it gained at least 20hp, has power all through the torque range, doesn't feel like it "exhaled" on higher rpms. Must do!
I would post the videos as well, but they are in mp4 on my phone.
