Test #2 worked! Good job.
I "assume" you will be working on the 7 cylinder problem?

Hi clubairth1, you assume correct!

I have an issue with a coil pack. Have switched it from cylinder 1 to 2 and the error followed it so now I am in the process of either:

a) buying a single XW93-12029-AB to fix the problem or
b) buying all eight

Looking for advice on which option (above) to take and also which brand to buy as there seem to be quite a few.

Is this the right place to ask for a pointer in the direction of an appropriate thread? Or is it the done thing to open up your own thread with a suitable title? Any advice on any of this gratefully accepted!

Best

 

Well if you get in the right forum. Guys who have that model will see your post. If you leave it where you at it will be hit or miss. I have a 2014 XJR so don't know your cars in's and out's like I do with my XJ (X351).

So yes post over on the forum for your car to get the best results (Do you know where that is?).
Your question is a good one.

Hi Clubairth, Thank you for the reply I do appreciate it.

I have searched the threads for 'coil packs XJ8' and most of them are quite a few years old and not that useful to me.

So, in answer to your question, no I don't know exactly where to go. Do I just find an XJ8 thread and post away or is there a special section for us?

Any pointers on etiquette opening a thread or posting on an existing one would be great, or I will just charge in somewhere until someone tells me I am doing it wrong!

Cheers

 

Yes there is a forum for your model with lots of XJ experts. The problem with posting on this forum is it's a new members forum so people with your car tend to not look at it. Plus as the title states it's for new members to introduce themselves and not for repair problems.
Try this one;
XJ8 Forum 1997-2003

Not really other than the basics when posting. Try to use a useful title and not help or my car is broken or I have lights on my dashboard. Those are useless details. Also forget the long stories about how the wife went shopping and when she pulled into this store all this happened. Just get to the point and state ALL the facts you have. If you have a dash light post what code the car has. The actual numbers not some vague my mechanic says stuff. Again that's all useless crap. Save that kind of blabbing for Facebook!

I want to thank you as you already have your car info listed! You would not believe all the "naked" question that are posted with no car information at all! So then we spend many posts playing 20 questions to finally drag out what should have been posted in the first place. Again remember we need your help so we can help you. Please post pictures if possible as that helps eliminate a lot of confusion for the rest of us. Plus we like pictures so post away!
In the end we are all just guessing on the Internet!

New to the group. Just got a 2018 F type R coupe the day before Christmas. What a great present! Have been smiling since.

 

I just picked up a 2019 jaguar F type P300 in ultra blue and i figured I might as well join a jag forum to get more info on my car

 

Welcome also check out the f type group on face book

 

I am based in Hampshire Uk
I have a 2005 S Type R which I am having some bother with is there a forum for this model ?

 

Yes we do. The S-Type forum has a lot of STR guys and I had a 2005 model myself! Great car for me and I ran it until 130K miles or so.
Take a look and please post some pictures when you get enough posts.
