Jaguar XK8 Lockdown Tyres and Battery V84 / XKR (X100)

Video 84. Recent personal experience has shown the need to check the tyre pressures and battery charge condition regularly during lockdown both for the Jaguar and the duly drivers. Before Christmas I had a flat tyre, I believe due to a slow puncture or rim leak. Normally, I would check the tyres often but lockdown has meant the car wasn't being used as often and habits changed. The battery warning message has come on my daily driver several times and needed recharging. Not all cars are so intelligent and my wifes car also needed it’s battery charging although didn't indicate anything. Please take care of your cars despite the lack of use in this Winter Lockdown. Drive and keep safe.

Part of a series of short videos on the experience I’ve have running my own 1996 Jaguar XK8.
