My 2002 Jaguar X-Type needs a new battery. What type of battery do I need? Where can I find one? All the local retailers in my town seem to be unable to help me.

Check the negative battery cable for corrosion. I would start by replacing it. Lots internal ground cable corrosion problems on the x-type. If you have a battery light on and the positive cable is very hot then you need to replace the pos. Cable also.

Maybe get your local garage to use their scanner and read the fault codes. Then progress from there as the fault will become clear. But from experience the s-type often suffers from oxygen sensor problems

You can add some life to your battery by opening it and adding some water. it gives the battery some short term life, but not very reliable, the best way is to install a new battery.

i have not heard of one yet need to check around because they are coming out with new things every day give these websites a try to see if you can find out any information www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails stop by your local Jaguar dealership and talk with someone in the parts department wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.

I have a 2002 jaguar s-type. There is a keyhole on the underside of trunk lip where the license plate lights are.

i do not know this but try these websites to see if they have your car listed its www.autozone.com and the other one is www.alldatadiy.com if all fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for your car or stop by your local Jaguar dealership in the parts department and get the information you need.

Hi

Yes,... if you are little mechanically minded, and keen, I don´t see why not.

Remember to disconnect the battery.

Support the car safely on axle stands, if jacking up.

And watch those knuckles...(Ouch!).. undoing those starter, bell housing bolts !

There seems to have been a run of Jaguar S Type, & X Type Starter problems of late, here on FixYa, so you are not alone.

Good Luck !

A FixYa rating would be appreciated ...Thank you !
