Drove a Jaguar XKR for the First Time !

The Jaguar XKR was (and still is) my dream Jaguar and when I learnt that it was no longer in production being replaced by the F type (this was before the FT was launched), I was devastated.

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator

Well I hope I don't have any issues for the next 5 years at least. Too many electonics in cars today. The place where the battery resides is full of electronic boxes I counted probablye about 4 boxes

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator

OK, so from what I've read there is in fact a battery indicator, so I'll look out for it. And yes I plan on replacing it within the next 2 months. Thanks guys.
Can any competent battery place do it or is there a special process to follow.

2016 Battery Indicator

My car battery is going on 8 years and I think It's going to give up the ghost. My question is does it have an indicator to tell me when to replace, or must I wait for a complete failure ? So far it's fine, but that could change.
thanks
