Battery or something else...
Hello Jaguar forums,
I know i havn't posted anything in so far this year so i just wanted to say i hope all my Jaguar buddys had a Happy New Year!
My 94 VDP hads been great untill today when i went to start the car this evening and it would not turn over. I turn the key and all i hear is a "POP" and nothing... I looked at the battery level gauge and the needle was a little above the "9" (just above the red). However, the radio and all the lights still work? I detailed the engine yesterday and thought i bumped a connection or something but everything seems to but connected fine plus the car ran after i did the detailing. Do you think i should have the car towed to the dealer and have them fix whatever is wrong with it or should i go to AutoZone and put in a new battery? Below i attached a photo of the highest level the gauge will read.
Thanks for your input!

I think it's from a weak battery . I had my battery removed yesterday and will pick it up today .It's currently in the recharching process . Mine was just above 9 as yours . It cranked all the lights worked but no start just a click noise .
Prior to this problem I jump started the car it run but not so easily either
BTW, my battery is 3 yrs old and not a daily driver

No, it's 1993 . Update , I got my battery yesterday and started up instantly as it used to .
I had posted a question about my battery mystery in General Tech Forum as well. I could not get it started with jump starters (Black & Decker) but car to car jump starting procedure worked
