1984 jaguar xj6 left lights on for a couple hours,car won't start but lights and radio come on

The manual handbrake is cable operated. If it has been adusted regularly during the 30 years of operation, it will probably not have any adjustment capability left. The adjustment is by use of an adjustment screw that you will see under the car. My car is a 1983 Jaguar and it has this problem. I am unable to obtain a replacement cable at present and am considering getting my mechanic to shorten the existing cable. I rely on the transmission parking lock to hold the car when parked.

Same car as mine with the battery in the boot ,disconnect the battery and use a 3/8th socket with a couple of extra extensions and a universal knuckle ,no problem shouldnt take more than half hour to get off .

There are 3 fuse boxes on that car. One in the console in the storge area and one under each kick panel left and right. is it getting power at all? if it turns on but needs a code, the original code can be found on the back of the stereo.

I recommend you have your battery tested. The starter requires MUCH more power than the radio does. You could also see if the car starts with a jump start. Also, as a general rule, a battery is only good for 3-4 years so if it is older than that it wants to be replaced anyhow : )

Good luck!!!

This is easy, contact Jaguar UK give them the VIN, be prepared to provide two pieces of proof of ownership and they will help you out. I have found Jaguar US to be most cooperative.

Hi Clyde

Expect you have it running by now, as I see this was posted 2 March ?

If not......

Charge up your battery, and heavy discharge test, suspect you have short in the plates.

If OK, jump start with a set of proper heavy duty jump leads.

Good Luck !

A FixYa would be nice...Thank´s......John.
