Top 20 1999 Jaguar XK8 - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Buy a cheap battery charger that plugs into the lighter socket. The battery will come up enough to pop the trunk. If you are in a hurry, you could power up the system under the hood by attaching 12v to ground and the back of the alternator if you know how.

start the car turn the radio on scroll to the station you want then push and hold the preset button 1 thru 9 untill it beeps then go to the next station you want to set and do the same.

P1000 JAGUAR - On Board Diagnostic System Readiness Test Not Complete, this is known as the OBD2 drive cycle.


Possible causes - The vehicle is new from the factory.
- Battery or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) had recently been disconnected.
- An OBD monitor failure occurred before completion of an OBD drive cycle.
- PCM Detected Trouble Codes (DTC) have recently been cleared with a scan tool.
When is the code detected? If DTC P1000 is triggered after DTCs have been cleared, all engine management OBD diagnostic monitor drive cycles have not been cleared. P1000 JAGUAR Description The On Board Diagnostic (OBD) monitors are performed during the OBD Drive Cycle. P1000 is stored in continuous memory if any of the OBD monitors do not carry out their full diagnostic check.

be sure that the cams are not on the engine when you rotate the engine . this will damage the valve train. there are 3 tools needed to set up the timing,
crankshaft setting peg #303-531
camshaft locking tool #303-530
chain tensioning tool #303-532
mitchell on demand 5 has a really good step by step with diagrams on how to set up your engine, you may try some of the shops in your area to see it they would run off a copy.
Good luck,

sorry but none of these codes appear in teh jaguar code list but in the generic code list which i have just checked they dont exist either so contact the code reader manufacturer

This motor has a DOHC configuration with hydraulic self-adjusting tappets - so a noise on them is practically impossible unless they are worn out to a level that makes the functioning of the motor problematic.
The noise is almost surely coming from one of the distribution chains, the automatic tensioner has failed and the chain is now loose.

you can find an engine repair manual with diagrams - the tensioner will have to be replaced.

you have a bluetooth feature somewhere in your phone menu that you activate 'search for bluetooth device' while near your car radio (it needs to be on as well, set to search)

yes it is known as the (coupe) unless you mean a hard top for the convertable then no up to 2006 after that year ime not shure.

ok, just because the battery is cranking over, does not mean that the cell inside the battery are not weak. they will always take a charge. but as to how long they will keep that charge is the problem. all 12v systems are as follows so check yours.

all should have no more than 14.5v during a charge(engine running) anymore it will fry not only the battery, but other componets as well.

all should have no less than 12v with the engine off, and a load test of no more than 15sec, and a drop of 10v or higher should be present.


with a good battery and alt, there should be a drop in voltage no less than 8v during a start crank, and after it starts it should rapidly return to a 12.5v to 14.5v charge. I suggest to have the battery and altinator tested for a load, and cell state.

I would replace the battery if the battery is over 3 years old and doesn't have the CCA's that the original battery had and diagnose from there.

yes it is for the most part

Hello
1) does the engine turn over by hand & then by turning the key to the crank position
2) is there any fuel in the fuel tank if how long is it in there?
3) is the battery in good condition

Sorry, that car is not equiped with bluetooth. Jaguar cars started with bluetooth around 2004.

special software used on europeon market vehicles ,dealer only

you wont get just the antenna you will need to swop the hole unit again sorry? but if you try a fuw brakers yards you may find a second hand unit,,,

right hand side of trunk
On the 2001 models, Remove the floor pan in the boot then lift the panel on the right. The battery is situated underneath along with fuses & relay switches. If you can't open the trunk with the dead battery, then go to the hood, then you'll see a power point to hook a charger or jumper battery that will light the interior up for the trunk and the lock motor will open up.c

Check your battery, maybe its dead I would say try to jump the car and see what happens.Good luck

I tried autozone.com's how to section, but it was experiencing technical difficulties at this time.
It says to try again later.

I also tried my other online resource, but there was no data on the replacement of the starter.
I would try autozone.com later.

Input your year,make, and model into the fields, before inquiring about repair information or 'Product and How To Info.' on the left side of the website after clicking on 'Repair Info.'

Yes
Charge the battery and attempt to close everything up again...
