    Tom, you're still a legend mate. I reckon the lads should have given you the car for all the help you've given them. You did a great walk around but you should have spent time with it under the hoist. I hope you do more walk -thru videos like these in the future. I'm actually interested what you've done to the white E-Type that was slightly off camera.

    Tom: the seat adjustment problem is not the motor! It's the buttons! I had the same problem on my X350 and I just rewired the motor to a switch to a button I'm not using and it works! And after a few weeks I have to say: I like it more than it would be original! (I'm using the up/down button for the front lifter of the seat to adjust the back of the seat and I love it now) Down moves the back down, lifting up moves the back up! It's unbelievable nice!

    I bought my 2000 XKR back in 2020 from California. Was looking for one with the R package but they are rare, so mine has the std brakes, seats and 18" wheels. Since then I have gone through the standard faults: Front springs and bushings, hydraulic hoses for the convertible top and timing chain and tensioners.

    Top tip on the key fobs: there’s a fellow in Taiwan that matches S-type-style flip key fobs with the correct 8-row Tibbe key blade for the X100 and sells them on eBay. I have one as the main key for my 2001 XKR coupe. Only caveat is that I’m not sure if there’s differences between my US-market security electronics and what you’d have in the UK.

    We have a 2000 XKR coupe that was sold new with the R-Performance package. A previous owner had it badged XKRR. It has been quite reliable & we have undertaken long insterstate trips in it where it has shone. Recently we lost drive under acceleration. My husband thought he had solved the problem by adding about 500ml of transmission fluid that restored drive but the fault has returned with a code showing a mismatch with the input/output figures so its booked in to have the box removed & sorted. It will be very interesting to see what develops with your XKR & how you address any issues.

    Nice video! But if you have someone having a conversation with the presenter that person should be in front of the camera aswell. It becomes weird with this disembodied voice that kind of interrupts the presenter and comes of as a "backseat" driver almost. If he would have been in front of the camera it would have been totally fine. Edit the cameraman makes interesting comments and interactions but it does not work if he is behind the camera.
