How do you change a hid bulb on a 2004 jaguar xj8?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Do not touch the HID bulb with your bare fingers, may cause damage to the bulb.

1. Remove the top front cover by partially unscrewing and pulling up on 6 plastic fasteners.

2. Unclip the wire spring retaining the HID cover(s). You may remove the wire clip to provide a little more room to work.

3. Open the cover (confined area) and move it towards the fender. The cover is held in place by a wire clip spring on the bottom of the headlamp, moving it towards the fender and pulling up will remove the cover from the spring clip.

4. Remove the cover from the back of the headlamp unit.

5. You will now see a square silver object (the igniter) held in place by flat metal springs. The HID bulb is part of the igniter.

6. Carefully pull out the HID unit and disconnect the cable by pulling on it. May use a long needle-nose pliers.

7. Replace with new bulbs and reverse the above sequence.

NOTE: If this is your first time, it may take a little over an hour to complete the process, please have patience.

Why does your jaguar XJ8 say engine coolant low when it is full?

Asked by Wiki User

Found after removing and replacing the sensor and bottle still had error finally drained radiator and added correct coolant mixture in radiator, indicator went away. Appear I had a weak mixture of coolant and water in radiator, which kept giving me the "ENGINE COOLANT LOW' I guess it really was low in coolant.

because water pump isnot working properly.if it is with plastic propeler ,it is time to be replasment with new water pump.if not do dis as soon as possible ,next thing wich will become broken is termostat .

Also some times coolant sensor under the bottle where you fill coolant is not attached correctly or is not working.

A Juguar XJ8 costs should range from store to store. Try the local car dealer shop first, to see if there is any Juguar XJ8. According to 'Auto Trader', the Jaguar XJ8 should cost at maximum 500.00 British pound. Therefore, if the car dealer's prize is over 500.00 British pound, try elsewhere.

A replacement battery for your 2003 Jaguar xj8 the old battery had a vent hose attached any new battery you can find does not can you proceed with out one?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Batteries should not be used in sealed containers. If the manufacturer put a vent hose on your battery get up, you should assume the air flow in the region is not sufficient to exhaust the explosive hydrogen and oxygen that are associated with charge and discharge.

To properly vent hydrogen isn't a big deal, you just need a way to move air.

Since you are not worried about the temperature of the battery, I would suggest a pair of tubes, and use the heat of the engine to push the air around (AKA up). One tube inside the engine bay, that connects to the bottom of the battery box. Another that connects to the top of the box, and goes directly outside. By exausting the fumes away from the hot engine, you also keep them from exploding on contact with such things as a manifold.

Here is an in depth discussion on Hydrogen Gas Venting from Battery Banks.

And here is a link to several battery boxes you could easily attach some tubing to.
