Bought a jag last night and broke down driving home. Please help!!! I'm a jag newb
Hey guys, i just purchased an 82 xj6 yesterday, and when driving home, it broke down. I was going about 65 and the car spontaneously stalled out. I had to get it towed. When i put the key in the ignition and attempt to turn the enging over, it wont start now. The tow guy also mentioned a few cut off switch that the xj6's have. I dont know if that is relevant to anything. I am totally new to the jaguar community. Anybody know what the problem could be???

Inertia switch is under the right end of the dash. I'd suspect the distributor pickup, sometimes you can get the ignition system to come back to life if you bend the wires right where they enter the distributor while someone cranks the engine.

Probably just one of the forum glitches that have appeared of late[&:]
On the plus side things certainly seem a lot better at the mo, although there is still a slight problem with polls etc...........being looked into!
