Not sure where fuel filter is
it is located under the driver running board...,just raise the car and remove the lower batwing cover..you will see two ten mm bolts on both sides of the running board,then you will see 2 eight mm bolts,then three 10 mm bolts near the front. ..once its removed you will see the fuel suply line running upward where the drivers foot rest incline is and the fuel filter is just past the incline..make sure you remove the fuse in the trunk for the pump to depressurize it...good luck and let me know if you need any more help.

Headlights,powerwindows,not working,glove box
Please if you can get into the car, beneath the driver side underneath the steering compartment you will get the fuse box there. Check the map and replace the fuse that has cut off.
Good luck.

How do i get the lens covers off of the side
Usually they are installed with screws, if no then they have a tension spring clipping it into position,try applying firm pressure to the this side pushing it in a forward direction, or visa versa, a small scerw driver will help lift it ffrom the panel while you push it. Obviously do not use the driver to force leverage as you risk damaging the paint, place a rag under it just in case. Hope this helps, 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
