I did exactly the same many years ago when I first removed my centre caps from my XK8. By trying to be so careful, I broke the first tab! ☹ I removed all the others by pushing them out, as you show, and that was fine. The cap with 3 tabs on it has been on for at least 10 years now and has never shown any signs of falling off so I just decided to leave it. Richard
Richard, thank you for sharing your experience, much appreciated! Very glad to hear that the caps with 3 tabs are able to hold for such a long time :) Cheers!
Hello again, Just checked ebay Canada and searched for 'xk xj center caps' - Lots of options available including a set of four non OEM parts that actually look pretty good.
Hi, Sorry that the tab has broken. There are replacement wheel centres available on ebay UK. Perhaps ebay Canada could also be a source? I suspect the material will be ABS PC and Loctite produce a super glue which is claimed to be suitable for all plastics. Hope that this helps. Good luck!
David, thank you kindly for this advice. I will look into the Loctite superglue. My brother lives in London, he may be able to pick up new caps if they are available on ebay UK. I'll explore that as well :) Cheers!
