I have a 2004 XK8 with 68000 miles. Great car, but it has a few bugs. I was hoping someone out there might know the cause. Here is problem #1, my tank was empty, so I went to the gas station to fill up. As I was leaving, I noticed that the gas gauge still read empty and the warning light remained lit. I tried tapping on the lens, banging on the dash board, no luck. Problem #2, side marker lights and license plate lights out at the same time. I thought all exterior lights are on the same fuse. I replaced license plate bulbs and still no go. Any ideas???

unfortunatly jaguar likes to sometimes take easy cheap jobs and make them expensive. the sender used to be mounted in the back of the tank and took 5 minutes to replace with 1/3 or less. Now theyre inside mounted to the pump outer housing, and you may want to consider installing a new pump while in there since its a PIA job to do once. Much less twice.

I don't know if Jaguar changed this on newer Coupes.

On my 2002 XKR it's top of the tank mounted. And I did just go through it twice in the past couple days, first to replace the pumps. Then again the next day to re-attach said sending unit, because I knocked it loose attaching one of the pumps.
This resulted in readings that were either completely full, or completely empty depending on how I drove the car.

The price on Rock auto is $639.79, so the dealer price isn't far off.
