Recall Fix on XK8 Headlights for moisture in Lens ?
Hey Guys,
While visiting my car at the dealership a few weeks ago (car has been in for 6 weeks from hitting a rock) I noticed that one of the headlights was fogged.
I asked the service technician about it and he said that there was a Jaguar Fix Recommendation to drill a vent hole and install a vent line at a cost of couple of hundred dollars.
Today when they called to give me a status update on the car the service writer informed me that the headlight fix, was now a recall item, and that they had done the modification under warranty.
I was curious if anyone else had heard of this, or if something unscrupulous was pandered by the dealership.

Could you provide a pic? I would like to do this on both my headlights. I noticed mine got a little worse after I had the front bumper changed out.

2000- XK8 I have trouble with passenger seat adjustment. For a while I could hear motor, but not get it to move either up and down or make a back seat adjustment. The other day, everything worked. Since the dealer just wanted to replace the motor, I gave up. Now, today, nothing happens when I push any button. When I look under the seat by using a flashlight and looking under, nothing seems loose. I jiggle and still nothing. any ideas?

Bonnieberson, just wanted to let you know that you posted your question under a thread about moisture in a headlamp lens. Have no fear, just need to post a NEW topic in the XK8 forum. Welcome by the way!
