lubricate where your key goes to start car.if it fixes it then your ignition switch might be going bad.

1. check battery connections thoroughly; emphessis on thoroughly. good luck.

wd40

your security system might be on. 1. check battery. 2. using your key lock and unlock your drivers door couple of times and then try starting your car. 3.if no luck then try starting it with your spare key. if starts with spare, then you need a new chip in your main key. good luck.

Having a restoration shop and running several newer Jaguars I have seen similar situations. Intermittent multiple errors such as these can be caused by a low battery (or corroded connections) that "fool the computers". Also had a '99 XJ8 VDP have exactly the same issues over several months. Issue was a manufacturing fault in the sensors on the throttle body that caused the "limp home" mode - usually in stop and go traffic. Jaguar had an inspection and recall on the throttle bodies but that vehicle had gone through 3 different Jaguar dealers for service and none looked at TSB/Recall or performed the necessary checks on the throttle body. Tried cleaning the throttle several times (per Jaguar TSBs) but no change. Had to replace throttle body & problem solved (over 30,000 miles since then). Recommend making sure all air connections to throttle are clean and open and cleaning the throttle area to see if that helps. On newer Jaguars (and other Al bodied cars) similar problems occur when the "ground" connections to the body become poor (usually through corrosion but sometimes through collisions). Connections may look perfectly normal but have high resistance. Careful when working with the connections - the posts are usually very loosely fastened to the bodies. The engine quit on a 2005 XJ8 VDP when I turned the wipers on (fortunately I was driving slow in a parking lot) because one of the forward bulkhead ground connections was corroded (looked normal but separated from body when removing the wires to clean them). Also there occur occasional funny intermittent issues with all newer Jags that seem to be untraceable and non-reproducable computer "glitches".Good luck.

its behind the front bumper liner on the lh on a uk car! remove lh front wheel. then the wheel arch liner and the bumper liner

check plugs, wires and mag pack its what your plug wires go to from spark plugs. Im thinking bad plugs or one wire is bad

Here you go...

any aux modules that you want to connect have to connect using the d2b network yuo need to talk to you local jaguar drealer for help

it was a common prob with those cd changers in the boot/trunk disconnect it and let the head unit connect to it if still no good and the wiring/connectors are good the cd unit is faulty

it sounds like its the in car temp aspirator motor listen to the little vent next the steering column if thats it. its not a big issue just get it replaced easy fix

sounds like to me its a abs sensor or reluctor ring problem the 2 main culprits are the front abs sensor link leads one maybe open circuit or the rear driveshaft reluctor is corroded and broken you need to get the fault codes out to help decide which i would check the reluctor rings first if you look carefully at the rings with a torch and probe with a small screwdriver between the rear driveshaft joint and the hub carrier you may find the reluctor ring is adrift

Sounds to me like this which is not grounded or they have text the wrong wires can burnt the switch up somebody needs to pull out the door panel and use a wire tester to see if there's any current if that don't help I would ask the dealership mechanic

its the drivers door latch faulty i think.worked on these cars before i retired and it was a common prob

You may have lost some support on the silencer (muffler) Some are like a rubber doughnut which might possibly account for the burning rubber smell if its coming into contact with the hot exhaust. The banging noise is possibly the loose silencer flexing as you pull away.and coming into contact with the bodywork Need to get the car on a ramp for confirmation

areas to check are the fuel pressures, fuel hoses, fuel crossover solenoid It indicates that the ECM is receiving the correct information from the sensors to adjust for LPG but when crossed over to petrol signals from sensors are not as clear as they should be This can be from a power drain to components caused by a faulty solenoid or relay that is reducing the voltage available to the sensors ( normally in the air intake system or the heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold ) check all harness connections and wiring if you are checking it all your self then a workshop manual that has all of the voltages for each sensor would provide help

stuck valve or timing has jumped

the stab light comes on if the battery is low because you are cranking the engine your aj26 v8 engine may have a common problem for cars up to that model/year with worn nicosil coated bores ie. low compression check the vin no. at your jag dealer you can get it started by removing the spark plugs and putting a egg cup of engine oil in to each of the cylinders the first thing to do is to check for fault codes using a obd code reader for a clue followed by a compression test
