The EVAP system purges any build up of vapours from the fuel tank and burns them thro the engine at pre-detemined times. This is done by means of the EVAp solenoid which when energised allows engine vacuum at one side to **** the vapours from the other side and pass them thro engine. Look for the black solenoid with two vacuum pipes and two wire plug on it. think you may be correct and have disturbed it when doing the air filter.

I don't know about this particular car, but you may have a relay problem as all the functions on main lights are done by relays due to the high current required, I would say your fuses are okay as you can get all the lights lights to work using a different control relay - if I have understood you correctly.

it might be located in the trunk

There is not enough information for me to determine it is a bad engine because the symptom of smoking and not starting can be caused electrically as well. smoking from where? the exhaust, under the hood? etc. Was the smoke bluish white? black smoke? Is there odor to the smoke? for example it may smell like burnt coolant if the head is cracked blow head gastket etc.

You will need to remove the floorpanel and a small cover over the battery.

Check for power at the fan where the wires plug in. If there is power replace the fan motor assembly, if there isn't double check your fuses and look for a break in the wire.

Sounds to me like you have a weak batt. also if you rear lights are sticking on some times that could drain it

The best thing to do is have the car put on a lift, you may have damaged the gear selector switch, but before racing ahead to overhaul have it checked for external damage, trans overhauls are very expensive, here (USA) $2000-3000, not cheap.

Restricted performance turns off after you drive about a mile down the road

1. How many miles on your car?

2. Is the engine hot, when you try to start the car?

3. Is the engine hot, when you heared the knock noise?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

If you remove any gear that is coupling it to the motor you should be able to slide it back to where you want. I would put gear back just to hold it in place and keep it from moving. But you do have to replace that gearbox for future operation.

Hello You need to remove the fuel tank and clean it well so that you make sure that there are no water left in the tank

Go to the link Jaguar Vanden Plas Automatic Transmission Fluid

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!
