It has the auto choke. Coil might be 20yrs old although actual mileage will be very low.
Thanks.

Thanks, I've taken the car to 4 MOTs. The last 3 MOTs they left the car running and it eventually stalled. It would not restart immediately. It possible took 20 to 30 mins of trying to start before it eventually started and ran. Revs were around 400rpm at idle. I've since raised idle to around 850rp...

I took this car for it’s MOT test and after the test, I jumped in to drive her home and it would not start. This is not a new problem, but, as the car only went to MOT tests for the last 4 years, it’s taken me until now to realise that it’s a hot start issue. I initially thought it was flooding, but...

Hey Guys I,ve a couple of niggles that i hope someone can help me with. 1.The interior lights fuse keeps blowing the last time it was replaced the lights worked for around a month then i noticed when we had rain the fuse blew. I replaced it a couple of days later and it blew around the second time o...

Right... The o/s one works fine, but the n/s one still flashes too fast, yet (and I've checked) both are wired up the same! Ah! That'll be what is wrong with mine then - it sounds obvious that mine's has been wired up the same as you have done, resulting in a the double speed flash on the near side....

I've x308 bumpers on my x300. I didn't undertake the work but might be able to shed some light on things. I can tell you that my front fogs are not wired up though, however, this is not an MOT fail, so it can buy you time until you work out the wiring. My N/S indicator flashes at double speed, howev...

Usual test for crank position sensor would be to watch the rev counter needle move upon cranking. It should move to around 150rpm. If it doesn't move the cps is dead. OBDII port is just forward of where your left knee will rest. A very good diagnostic tool is the Autoenginuity tool - which I have :w...

Welcome to the forum Stuartie. Sorry but I can't help you on the wiring. I do have a couple of hi res pictures of the wires and the plugs connected to the Jaguar radio. If you know what you are looking for they might help. I'd be inclined to source a radio harness from a breakers, solder it together...

Lester, do you have the Harmon Kardon premium sound system - you can tell by finding a HK amp above the fuel tank in the boot and a woofer on the rear parcel shelf? If not, consider yourself lucky, because you can very easily fit a new/second hand radio. That is what I would do. However, it's a diff...

If it had been a replacement (Jaguar) radio, I might have had a solution. However, as this is your car's original radio, and it had develpoed a fault even before disconnecting the battery, I reckon no amount of disconnecting and reconnecting the battery will have an effect. I'd be inclined to remove...

Is this a replacement radio or the car's original radio?

I usually find that for nuts and bolts, Jaguar themselves can be cheapest. If you use the Jaguar Classic Parts website and tell them you are in the JEC you get a 10% discount. The bolts you were looking for come in at £3.76. The can be posted to your door to. (No affiliation)

I was hoping this would be an easier fix than the security system. The security system ecm is easy enough to remove but I don't know if you can just replace it with your other car's ecm and use the other car's fob (or reprogramme the non-starting car's fob?) Good luck on this one Mark - sorry I can'...

Mark, I appologise if this is an obvious question, but, did you try to open the boot with the donor battery attached as previously described? You don't need to start the car. Just connect the donor battery and press the boot release button inside the car. The barrel of the lock frequently corrodes, ...

Need a bit more info from you on this one, mate. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but the info you give is a wee bit scetchy. Is it the central locking that's not working? Did you try to open the boot with the key or the button inside the car?From what you say, first impressions are of a faulty battery. C...
