Todd Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Got a nice little runaround for the weekend 2001 XKR Covertible But after a run through to the West Coast today it's pretty obvious that the tyres pressures are out but I'm stumped how to get air in the tyres Found a screw on one of the bolts that give you the split rim look and sure thats where you fill it but stumped after that Anyone any ideas?

Todd Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 call the RAC? thats what most jaguar owners seem to be doing these days - lol Actually phoned the guy that owns it and he just said that the garage do that for him Just pissing me off, it's like you need a valve, like the kind for putting air in a football.

Kranz Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 There's a screw in adaptor that makes it into a full valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Actually phoned the guy that owns it and he just said that the garage do that for him That is quality. It reminded me of the thread about queries from other clubs which you can read HERE. My favourite, and it is appropriate too is this one: Porsche forums - - - Tyre just went flat. Is it best to trade or sell the car myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 I shouldn't complain, he's a top bloke and a bloody saint for letting me have his car on a sunny weekend like this. Could be worse, could have posted this on the jag forum, prob as common as "what's the red button for" on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 An air valve adaptor would be a great idea. I'm fed up with chavvie kids pinching my alloy dust caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 wee black wallet tucked in the back of the glove box with 2 valves and the key Now that the tyres have 10psi more in them the car handles a whole lot better. Kosmic, fantastic fun but NO comparision to a Supra, Supra is a far better car IMO. You do feel like a B division footballer in the Jag which is a great laugh, folk seem to do a double take to see if your "someone" The best bit has to be the supercharger...OMG but the power delivery is so smooth Fuel consumption is not for the faint hearted, be lucky if I see 14mpg by the time I get home and thats taking it easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 There should be a little Green Leather Pouch, in the glove or boot etc... and it's got a ket to remove the dust cap. and the valve adaptor, i hated them tyre valves when i worked at Jag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
