Radio fuse
Hi
If it was not on an in-line fuse going to the player, check the fuse board under lower dash, above the foot-well.
Good Luck !

Adjust headlamps on 2008 Jag Vanden Plas
- Park your car on a level surface, facing a flat wall or garage door. Make sure the car is at a normal operating temperature and that the headlights are turned on.
- Open the hood and locate the headlamp adjustment screws. These are usually located at the back of the headlamp assembly, near the firewall. There should be one screw that adjusts the vertical aim and another that adjusts the horizontal aim.
- Use a Phillips head screwdriver to adjust the screws. Turning the vertical screw clockwise will lower the beam, while turning it counterclockwise will raise the beam. Turning the horizontal screw clockwise will move the beam to the right, while turning it counterclockwise will move the beam to the left.
- Adjust the headlamps one at a time. Cover one of the headlamps with a thick cloth or cardboard to prevent any stray light from affecting your vision while you adjust the other headlamp.
- Aim the headlamps so that the center of the beam is at the same height as the center of the headlamp lens. The horizontal aim should be straight ahead, with no visible lean to either side.
- Test the headlamps on a dark road to make sure they are properly aimed. If you notice any unevenness or misalignment, make further adjustments as necessary.
- Close the hood and enjoy your properly adjusted headlamps.
It's important to note that if you're not comfortable working with car electronics, or if you're unsure about any of the steps involved in adjusting your headlamps, it's best to consult a professional mechanic or authorized Jaguar dealership for assistance.
Where is the fuel pump fuse for 2001 jaguar vanden plas
if its a v12 or super charged vehicle it has two inside the fuel tank, only one pump if it normal aspirated, remove the tank and you will find the pump/s under the round panel on top of the tank with the fuel level sensor/ you will need some pipe release tools to get the flow and return pipes out of the bottom of the tank, a bit of a pig to get to has they are under the vehicle above the differential, but have self sealing valves in the bottom of the tank so you dont get soaked!

Ignition Switch is bad here is how to replace it
The ignition switch is usually mounted to the steering column and is
operated by a linkage rod.
NOTE
On column-mounted ignition switches, don't confuse
the switch with the lock cylinder and keys. The ignition switch is not
normally visible.
On some vehicles, the steering column support has to be removed and
the column lowered to find the ignition switch. On others, the switch is
accessible under the dash.
The ignition switch is operated by the key
switch. Courtesy of Ford Motor Company.
To replace the switch:
- Remove the ignition switch wiring harness.
- Unbolt it from its position.
- Bolt the new switch into position.
- Attach the witing harness.
I just bought a used
use wd-40 or liquid wrench and a tooth pick- use toothpick to hold the little metal flap in lock back and spray oil inside- locks weren't uses much as you have remote locks- lack of use can cause rust/lockup
key will start engine? if not- you might have gotten the wrong keys- or there might be a different one for the door locks from the ignition key
I have a 1988 Jaguar
If the engine turns over it is not likely an ignition switch. Can you hear the fuel pump kick on? Is there spark at the distributor cap? My thought leans towards either a bum fuel pump or ignition amplifier (ignition module). If you would like a manual to aid in testing, let me know.
