Jaguar xjs won't start
I tried to start my Jaguar xjs the other day. The engine turns over but no ignition. One of the Ignition Coils was burned to a toast? I replaced both the Ignition Coils but no luck. I phoned around locally but nobody is interested in coming out. They all said that I must deliver my XJS to their gara...

Re: Ignition Coil
I replaced both ignition coils in my 1989 jaguar XJS but car will not fire up? Could there be a problem with the ECU's ?

Holes in bodywork 1989 xjs v12
I own a 1989 xjs v12. There is a small hole on both front wings. I have been told by a Garage that fibre glass is not acceptable and will fail the M.O.T. Is this correct? What advice can you give me?

Re: Jaguar XJS Horns
I removed the Steering Wheel with the brass rod. The problem is that nothing is connected to the brass rod. NO cable or any wiring visible.

directional indicators
Today my Indicators are not working. I checked the Fuse and it was gone so I replaced it with a new one and it immediately fused. Any suggestions what can be wrong.
Bought a new one from SNG Barrett.

Re: Head liner...
I have a 1989 Jaguar XJS Sport. I bought a new Headlining Kit from a company called Jag Headlinings . It cost me £294. It was easy to install from the passenger side with the seat fully forward. It took me a couple of hours. Looks Great. Carriage cost £42 but well worth it.

Re: 1989 XJ-S 5.3 Engine Stopped
I renewed all the ignition components because I had a problem a while ago with A Bank not firing correctly. The car has been running fine for months then it suddenly stopped. I did all the tests for fuel pressure when I did the upgrade with the new pump and filter. Should I do them all over again? I...
