    Thanks, it turns out that it was a faulty O ring in the water pipe housing... All seems ok now. Thanks again.

SOURCE: Water pump problem?

You need to make sure you don’t have an air lock. Find the bleeder valve for the coolant system and release the air. If you can’t find the bleeder, find the highest hose for the coolant system and make sure coolant is flowing through it.

I have not got a jag yet, I am thinking about buying one I have owned bmws and audis. ALL CARS FROM europe have electircal probs. I dont know why, this prob sounds like a ground prob. I would check the controil mode on the firewall. Bmws always had a fuse there that would short out on the hood and cause the same prob. I just moved the fuse panel/controil down lower and never had the prob again. I know bmw are different but a car is a car.

SOURCE: 1995 Jag XJ12 the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT came on, help?

I recently, April 12, purchased a 95 XJ12 that looks like it has minor problems. Its overheating. The Jag has been sitting for 2 years in a garage. It did not have a current title or local state plates, so it was sitting in the garage.

Anyway, I am restoring it. The prev owner gave me a Jag XJ12 DVD with all the manuals and diagrams. However, it did not have the diagrams I needed for the relays. So, I started to look for manuals. Nothing exists aside from the Jaguar OEM DVD and more expensive dealer paper manuals.

Unfortunetly, the 95 XJ12 has the OBD-1 system on it. I am in the process of finding a OBD-1 for the 95 XJ12. So far, none, but am calling OBD scanner companies.

The site below cost $17 one year and $50 5 years but it has all of the diagrams for all the relays, etc, repair instructions, ...

http://www.alldatadiy.com/contact/index.html

I purchased $50 plan since I plan to keep the JAG. I think its going to be a classic.

I would like to keep in touch with you to share info on self-repair tips.

If you want to share the cost for the site above email me.

My 2003 x type Jaguar with 68500 miles is leaking the coolant from the bottom when i fill it it comes back out also is over heating this has never happend before do you know what the problem is?
Have you had the timing service done? Ford owned Jaguar in 03, and their typical service interval for the timing service is every 60k miles. Replacement of the water pump, thermostat, and coolant is part of this service. If it has not been done yet, schedule it immediately (it's expensive and takes several hours by a pro mechanic).

The coolant may be leaking due to a problem with part of your cooling system, or a torn hose, or through the "weep hole" on the pump (which is there by design to let you know that the water pump is wearing out).

I can't stress it enough though - if the timing belt/tensioner/serpentine belt/seals/cooling parts haven't been done yet, you need to do them. For one, to replace whatever part is currently leaking, you may well have to disassemble most of the front of the engine anyhow, so why not do that service while you're at it? And, neglecting to do this service will eventually result in a failed timing tensioner, a broken belt, or both, which will destroy the engine. While this is being done, the cause of your coolant leak and overheating will very likely be solved, as the crucial cooling components will be replaced at that time.

Engine light on, noisy idling, short coolant-2001 JAG VDP
Take the car to a specialist to check the timing chain tensioners, they are a known issue. I`d advise you to not use (or even start) the car till theyve been ruled out, the engine could be made scrap if the tensioners goes.

If it does need tensioners, get the later metal type ones fitted.
