Hi all, picked up my first XKR at the weekend. Looking great and drove from London home to Glasgow without missing a beat.
1998 model.
However the next day when I went to start the car it wouldn't even turn over, just a click. Changed the battery for a brand new one. Still no change.
All the other electrics work just can't start and drive!
Any ideas?
Planning to check the starter when I can locate it..

 

Welcome.

Bugga.

Try the gearlever in N instead of P, maybe a neutral start hissy.

If not, a quick repost in teh "XK8/XKR" section will have it sorted.

 

Many thanks, no joy with great lever, will post in the other section. Cheers, David
