seat module repair
Thanks for getting back to me. All function work except the seat back will
recline, but won't come back up. I took the module out of the drivers side
and temporarily plugged it in the passenger side and all function worked.
Looks like some one spilled something in the module and a couple of the
circuit wires look corroded.
I am thinking about looking for a computer geek that can fix the board.

To Steve:
"....I would have to listen to my wife say, 'you should have gotten and SC430'."
She would be right............up to a point. I purchased a new SC430 for my wife and it has been flawless for the 5 years that we have owned it. Nice driving, perfectly reliable and classy looks. That being said, I greatly prefer to drive the Jag! The XKR feels like a race car, and reminds me of the cars that I drooled over as a kid. I know that it doesn't come close to some of the speed demons on the road, but it is plenty fast enough for me, has a incredible interior, and a drop dead gorgeous body. It may not be the best in any single category, but it scores extremely high marks in all of them. Sure, it has a few maintenance "warts", but what in life is truly perfect? I'm not, so is it reasonable of me to expect my car to be?
Good luck with your new Jag, I'm sure that you too will love it!
Regards,
Brian

If you swapped the modules, and got all functions on the other side, i'd focus on the switchpack with your buttons instead of the module. Take it apart and clean all of the contacts (especially the recline), most likely the spill happened on it and you lost some button function. Check wiring from the switches to the module as well next.

"the car is capable of so much more than I am." .. me2
Sorry, I have to agree with Doug's plan 'B'. The XKR advantage might be significant where the roads are straight and flat but in the mountains with twisty roads the XK8 can be scary enough. You might be in a lower gear with the XK8 but either are capable of far more than curvey public roads, traction and reason should allow. Like my shooting gear, the car is capable of so much more than I am.
I chose to spend my money on the best XK8 that my budget would allow.
