Jaguar s type 3 litre 1999 running badly, has been stood for 2 years, was running lumpy when stood up, hence why I bought it so cheap! have changed spark plugs, air filter and one coil pack and 1 lambda sensor needed changing. has passed mot and the emisions were ok. car on tick over sounds as though its not firing on all six, when you put your foot down its good, when you want to cruise at 50 it jolts and shudders as if its miss firing. strong smell of petrol from exhausts when driving along, so my friend said who was following. any help on what to check next would be a great help

Fuel injector leaking into cylinder.
Check injectors with engine running using an engine stethoscope (like doctor stethoscope).
You will find it... Either replace it ($20) or use a good brand injector cleaner ($8)... or have an injector service done ($100)

When do you change the cam belt on the 2 litre sport,mine is 8 years old and has done 60000 miles

it should be done by time and miles, even when miles are low, it should be done by age, its false ecconomy not to replce it, as it will cost alot more if it snaps, change it now! asap. then every 4/5 years or 50k.

2001 S-Type. Intermitant electrical problem.

Two quick fixes come to mind, 1, remove and cleane your battery post and terminals with a good wire brush, re connect and make sure they are very tight, (cant be turned by hand), brush can be bought at a auto supply store, cheap! #2 while you are at the supply store have them do a load test on your battery, most supply stores have this service, call ahead. im quit sure its one of the two! batterys in my option are not reliable after 3 yrs max. good luck, hoped this does it for u.
