Are you sure it’s not the webasto heater firing up?
-
Yes John, you will have no problems with going direct to the battery terminals as you don’t have the BMS either.
-
That number does not show up on the government MOT website. If you have any other info on the car you may get a better response from the JDHT. I suspect that even if the JDHT can find it they will only tell you that it is still going and nothing else. -
For your car you can direct to the battery as you don’t have the BMS fitted.

Air bag warning light showing occasionally on XK8
Jimbov8 replied to Jeff Warmington's topic in XK8 / XKR ( X100) 1996 - 2006
You need to count the flashes from start to finish, this gives you a flash code that can be translated into a specific area of the system. example, 2 flashes, short pause, 2 flashes long pause and then repeated a further 5 times gives you a code of 2-2 which relates to the drivers side bolster airbag. -
Try this it may help,

XK8/XKR torque converter lock-up system
Jimbov8 replied to Richard A Hughes's topic in XK8 / XKR ( X100) 1996 - 2006
The only person I can recommend is Chris Isle, The Jag Specialist at Doncaster. He is also a gearbox specialist. Worth at least a phone call. -

Hi Tony, I don’t believe one was designated a reserve tank. You simply switched between the two as and when required as they were both the same size.
-
No probs, hope you get the info you need.
-
Hi Dean, the easiest way is to send an email to The JDHT with all the relevant info you have, they should be able to advise.

People have bought 2020 discs from this place that have worked perfectly well in Jaguars of your era, Tis the reason I mentioned it. No probs either way.
-
Have a look here for up to date discs, https://www.satnavishop.co.uk/jaguar-23-c.asp

Just been through the 98MY electrical manual and there is no mention of that module. What exactly is it that you’re trying to do, or more importantly, what is the problem you have?
-
The relay you need is R11 in the front power distribution fuse box. It is controlled by fuse F15 15A in the same box. The ground point is behind the left hand headlamp and is worth checking also. Figure 08.1 of this manual refers. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/CarPDFFiles/SType/S-Type-Electrical-2005on.pdf

3 things with this one, 1. BMS needs resetting 2. Fusible wire from the positive terminal has blown 3 BMS module on the negative terminal has blown and needs replacement. I would go with #1.

Surely you mean Tom.🤣

Welcome to the forum Tom, nice looking car. Enjoy.😊

Try pushing down and then turning anti clockwise.

100% agree with the above. Lack of use will kill your battery without the use of a maintainer. A half hour thrash is not going to help much unfortunately.
-
Either the dccv is stuck or the system needs rebleeding.
-
I’ve not heard of that engine suffering from bearing failure. I’d put money on the tensioners. They are DIY feasible depending on your ability with the spanners and not that expensive. Top two are the easiest to do. There are plenty of utube videos on how to do it also.
-
Upper and lower tensioners would be my first thought. The originals were plastic and had a tendency to crack. A Jaguar independent should be able to help.
