Default New Jaguar Owner

Well I just purchased this 95 Valden Plas XJ6, the car was sitting up for roughly 6months give or take, it has 240kmiles on it!!! Dunno if that's bad or not I don't know anything about these cars lol, I couldn't pass the deal!! But anyways not the problem I'm having with this damn thing is that I'll try to crank it and I get nothing? My dash lights etc... Are working but it won't crank over when I try everything goes dead then once released lights come back on? I've installed an aftermarket radio without the correct harness smh🙈 but if anyone has any idea or possibly the fix pllllllz let me know!!

Welcome to the forums Cory,

Good to have you with us.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj6-xjr6-x300-26/ to the X300 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Northeast Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-northeast-35/ to find other members in your region.

I've added vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. If you want to change these, go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome Cory. Believe it or not, you've got one of the easiest Jags to own!

How's that battery? Jags love fresh batteries. Actually I think they insist on it.

Your Vanden Plas X300 will have the inline-6 AJ16 engine. The last of it's kind for Jaguar.

See you in the X300 section.

Welcome Cory. Start simple- good battery and make sure the cables are tight. Loose ones can work the lights and then lose connection when a heavier load is applied.

Welcome to the forums Cory! I also have a 1995 VDP that I acquired from the previous owner who is a customer of mine. I have been maintaining that car for years before I bought it.

Please do us a favor though and take some time to fill out your profile information, things like location etc. make it easier for some of us to help out and often time you'll find one of us may be close by or passes through your area.
