What is wrong if the car won't start? Also if the engine turns over?

Could be several things. A clogged fuel filter, a non-working fuel pump, or a defective crank (angle) sensor, for example. A defective crank angle sensor will prevent the ECU from knowing when to injecting fuel or make spark so it won't do either! The ECU will store a code if that is the problem. Check the fuel pressure in the fuel rail. If none, the fuel pump may not run (or the in-line fuel filter is clogged.) Check for fuel pressure and spark. If the gas is fresh, it ought to start.

Cant get my Jaguar to turn over while jump starting the battery

Sounds like your starter may be shorted out. That is A LOT of juice flowing when a jump occurs, so most any engine will at least turn over. Load test the starter. Load test the alternator. Perhaps one of those is the culprit. Let us know what you find.

Jaguar xk8 changed battery and door sign came on

If you can locate the actual switch that the door activates you could exercise that switch to see if it is a problem with the switch. Look in the door frame for the switch. If it is not a switch problem then you could disconnect the battery to reset the system to see if the door sign goes out.

Why can't you install an XK8 Convertable audio amp in an XK8 coupe

Not sure about this ,could their be a seperate fuse for the amplifier ? or one inside it even--- have the wires broke inside the multiconnector .I have a 94 XJ sovereign and their is no amp in this model that i know of as i have had all the seats out when fitting the recovered headlining and having the front drivers seat repaired.Mine has a radio cassete in the front and a CD player in the trunk or boot in proper english .But all joking aside if it has a amp under the back seat like the big jeep thing i repair for a neighbour then providing you understand the wiring then it cannot much of a job to wire one of these in from a different car where you can get one one from a scrapyard cheaply compared to jaguar spares which are well expensive.Look on the internet for david manners jaguar spares UK ,i have found this company very good when ordering spares that are virtualy unobtainable here in spain so weither thay have a amp for your car i dont know but iam currently restoring a XJS V12 1989 for a friend and doing the paperwork to import it onto a historic plate here in spain and i can say i havent even look at the stereo to be honest.Take the amp out and ask a local TV repair man to have a have a look and the older the repair man the more experiance they will have with solid state transistor circuits and may be able to fit new output trannies if they are blown .Iam at the jaguar owners club meeting today so i will ask any owners if they know of a amp in these vehicles ,i dont know everything about every make of model of car on the road i admit it but if their is a way i can fix things i will so be a bit patient and ask around as iam sure their will be a owners club in your neck of the woods ,look on www.jec.org ,if you look at spain you will see me in one of the group pics iam the tall ugly one at the back ---

My cruise control is not working

depends on the model of your car, on mine (XKR) the cruise stopped working because of a faulty microswitch behind the brake pedal, there are two microswitches, one to turn on the brake lights and the other is used by the ECU to make sure you are not pressing the brake (which is the signal to cancel cruise). If that switch is faulty the car will not enter cruise mode. Hope that helps, Nick.

Red check engine light is on. car does not start

You need to have the code read to find out the problem. An OBD-II Code Reader can be purchased for about $20.

Remove belt

Need to use a stethoscope to listen for noise Could be you need a new radiator & thermostat & change all the hoses ,as well as the pump 15 year old vehicle,time to put some work into it. The pump, if it hasn't leaked yet, it will & you may feel play in it once free from any drive belt or pulley I was referring to ALL hoses,heater & others,they need to go around every 8 years There is no checking of a water pump other than removing it They don't last for 15 years Runs hot because the radiator is clogged or stat stuck or you have ignition problems,blocked exhaust converter,etc ALL ALL of those need to be checked once your done working on the cooling system New spark plugs,check ignition for misfires,replace any converter over 12 to 14 years old,oxygen sensors every 100,00 miles
