If you look in the boot there should be a can of spray foam to fix a puncture, and that is all you get.

Check the condition/charge of the battery and if need be, give it a full overnight charge. Check the connectors going into the CJB (central junction box) for signs of water ingress (verdigris).

Mystery battery drain.
Jimbov8 replied to HAGSTROM's topic in Jaguar Audio / Video / Electronics / Security Systems
First thing to do, locate the “alarm chirp sounder” and disconnect it. This is the most common area for a drain. Also check that the flap in the ignition barrel is closing when the key is removed. -
Welcome to the forum Coby. By all means carry out a full service but also check all he air hoses are tight, secure and free from leaks or damage. Above all, have the codes read as anything else is just guesswork.

3.4 XK engine: Investigating lack of compression
Jimbov8 replied to Chris Hawley's topic in Pre 81 XJ
If you are 100% sure the valves are opening and closing then the head will have to come off. I would suspect worn valve seats or piston rings leading to the lack of compression in the two cylinders. -
Welcome to the forum Arnold. It may be that your car was not fitted with the powerfold option.

Check the fuel pressure at the schrader valve at the fuel rail, should be in the region of 55psi. Next time it happens, disconnect the MAF sensor, if it then starts straight away then there is your problem.

First and foremost, charge the battery and then see what happens. You should also consider investing in a code reader, when you think how much they charge, having your own will pay for itself after the first use.

Drivers side headlamp
Jimbov8 replied to David T's topic in Jaguar Audio / Video / Electronics / Security Systems
If you put the wheel on full lock and look behind you should be able to see it. If not then it may be behind the wheel arch liner at the forward end. -
Drivers side headlamp
Jimbov8 replied to David T's topic in Jaguar Audio / Video / Electronics / Security Systems
If it’s not behind the headlight then look at the one in the driver’s side wheel well, it may well be close to falling off. It should be at 12’o clock on the frame behind the wheel. -

Nice one Julie.👍

Slam panel vents is the usual entry point. Have a look behind the trim. Also advisable to drill a drain hole in the bottom of the well.

There isn’t one. Just follow this video;

It may help if you told us the year of the car.

A code reader will tell you where to look first and may save you spending on things you may not need.😉

Hi David, here is my set up,

The more you drive it the more charge will go into the battery. The fact you now have no warnings is proof of low voltage. Before you go spending on a new battery, give your existing one a full charge. If it still loses voltage then by all means replace it.
