Not starting

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! A Jaguar that refuses to start can be quite the puzzle, especially with a classic like the XJ8. There are several potential culprits, ranging from something as simple as a dead battery to a more complex issue like a faulty starter motor or fuel pump. If you've got power to your accessories (lights, radio, etc.), but the engine won't turn over, it might be the starter or even a bad connection somewhere. If it's completely dead, start by checking the battery and connections. Jaguar gremlins can be tricky, but with some detective work, you'll get it purring again. If you need any further advice or if you'd like any help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
