My battery was no good on my jaguar s type 2000 and i purchased a new one after installing i try to start and it wont start soundsas if i have no gas and the horn comes on

diesel or petrol could be diesel contamination moisture

you got a battery drain its got to be sometimes it takes time in other words you got a short even the radio could cause it.

I have an s-type 2000 and that sometimes happens. I put it in netural and start it.

the battery in the jag im workin on looks like a bus battery,the car was dead...Ijumped it...it took about 10 mins. charging b4 it would start...drove it 4 about 5 miles and all my lites went out[inside car]started runnin then stalled....alternaters bad...is the new battery u bought 4 it the rite one?try checkin you alternater ????

check your ignition switch .check your relay fuel pump .

Check your battery with a volt meter. When it gets cold, the plates inside the battery restrict the amperage needed on your car. Get a fresh battery to avoid the hassle. When the current doesn't flow thru the battery due to cold weather, not even a jump will help because its still almost an open circuit. Keep the new battery warm and install it in your jag. start it immediately to get it warmed up. Check your antifreeze level also. If you need it, only put DexCool in concentrated form during your climate chill. It will mix with the diluted antifreeze in the system anyways. Good luck.

Jaguar recommends the highest grade of gas for the best overall performance. usually this is between 91 and 95 octane, however many of our Jaguar customers just put the mid- or low grade fuel in the car. Now you can do this but the performance and in most cases the gas mileage wont be as good as the premium gas.
The way I see it is if jaguar did all that testing and engineering for that car and they came to the conclusion that it works best with high octane then i would do it. But hey, its your choice, i hope i helped you out.

1st check if battery is good , or unplugged wires during repair

Hi

Classic faulty battery symptoms.

Expect it´s the original ...... 6yrs old ?

Get a new battery and go from there !

Good Luck !

Yes the key needs to be reprogramed to the car. Unfortunately that will have to be done by the dealer. Make sure that you have plenty of proof that you are the owner. They will reprogram it but you will not take posession of the car until you prove it is yours.
