Jaguar XK Common Issues & Specialist Services | SP88
Jaguar XK Common Issues
The Jaguar XK, a quintessentially British luxury grand tourer, is renowned for its performance and style. However, like all vehicles, the Jaguar XK can encounter specific problems. Here are some common issues found in this vehicle:
- Wear and Tear on Suspension Components: Due to the performance nature of the Jaguar XK, the suspension components can wear out faster than those of more standard vehicles, leading to a less comfortable ride and decreased handling capabilities.
- Cooling System Failures: The XK has been known to experience issues with its cooling system, including leaks and radiator malfunctions, which can lead to overheating if not addressed promptly.
- Electrical Issues: Common electrical issues in the Jaguar XK include problems with the dashboard lights, malfunctioning window regulators, and sporadic faults with the vehicle’s infotainment system.
- Transmission Problems: Some Jaguar XK models may experience transmission faults, including rough shifts or hesitation when changing gears. This is often due to the complex nature of the automatic transmission used in these cars.
- Oil Leaks: Engine oil leaks are a frequent concern and can stem from various seals and gaskets wearing out over time. Regular checks are advisable to avoid more significant engine issues.
Jaguar Specialist
A Jaguar specialist possesses in-depth knowledge and experience with Jaguar vehicles, ensuring high-quality maintenance and repairs explicitly tailored to the model’s requirements. Choosing a specialist for your Jaguar XK means your car is treated with the care and expertise it deserves.
Jump Start
If your Jaguar XK fails to start due to a drained battery, a professional jump start service can quickly get you back on the road. Always use a reliable service to protect the vehicle’s complex electrical system during the jump start.
Car & Van Brakes Replacement
Brake performance is crucial for the safety of any vehicle, including the Jaguar XK. Regular inspections and replacement of worn brake pads and discs ensure your brakes remain effective and your vehicle stays safe.
Oil Change and Service
Regular oil changes and servicing are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Jaguar XK’s engine. High-quality oil and professional service help keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.
Clutch Replacement
The clutch in your Jaguar XK may eventually wear out, especially when driving high-performance. A clutch replacement ensures your vehicle performs at its best and provides a seamless driving experience.
Diagnostic Inspection
Diagnostic inspections are vital for identifying issues that aren’t immediately apparent. This may involve checking engine codes, ensuring the electronic systems function correctly, and troubleshooting unexpected alerts for a Jaguar XK.
Car Battery Replacement
Replacing the battery in your Jaguar XK is a straightforward yet crucial maintenance task. A new, high-quality battery ensures reliable starting and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical components.
Check Engine Light Diagnostic
If your Jaguar XK’s check engine light comes on, a comprehensive diagnostic by a Jaguar specialist can determine the exact cause, whether it’s emission-related, sensor faults, or engine issues.
ABS System Diagnostic
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is key to vehicle safety. It prevents the wheels from locking during an emergency stop. Diagnostics can detect any issues with the ABS, ensuring it functions correctly when needed most.
Airbag System Diagnostic
Airbag diagnostics are crucial for ensuring the safety features of your Jaguar XK are operational. Regular checks can help detect faults, which may prevent airbag deployment in a collision.
Parking Sensor Installation
Installing parking sensors can enhance the functionality and safety of your Jaguar XK by assisting with manoeuvring in tight spaces and preventing collisions.
Dashcam Installation

A reversing camera offers enhanced visibility, making it safer and easier to reverse your Jaguar XK, particularly in crowded or narrow areas.
Car Audio Installation

Engine Misfire Diagnosis and Repair
Engine misfires in a Jaguar XK can reduce its efficiency and performance. Professional diagnosis and repair can resolve this issue, restoring full engine function.
Clock Spring Replacement
The clock spring is crucial for maintaining the functionality of a vehicle’s steering wheel electronics. Replacing a faulty clock spring in your Jaguar XK ensures the continued operation of the horn, airbags, and other steering wheel controls.
Addressing these common issues and employing specialist services ensures your Jaguar XK remains a reliable and enjoyable vehicle. Trust SP88 to provide expert care and enhancements for your Jaguar, maintaining its performance and luxury standards.

Shad2025-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a 2017 BMW 440i that I bought from auction, the car had no issues whatsoever, I repaired the light damages it had, headlight, bumper and bonnet. Car was perfect. I took it to a Bodyshop they treated the car poorly, parked it in dirt and soil the car got stuck. They towed the car out and ever since then wires were cut, car started to malfunction, headlights not working, ground cables ripped in half. I tried everything, splicing the wires etc, tried other electricians no matter what my car was still in a limp mode. Shannon came down rewired everything and still no luck. He told me to leave it with him and he'll try his best to find what it is. When he left he texted me at midnight 'I can fix the car, I just need 1 hour'. Booked another hour with him, and my car was fixed, as if nothing ever happened. I appreciate Shannon so much, best person to sort out your vehicle.
