New Member XJS V-12 issues
Recently purchased a 1990 XJS Conv.
30,000 miles, car is in excellent physical condition, Unfortunately the V-12 has definite issues.
Most recent, & Hopefully someone has seen this before !
Drove the car yesterday & it ran perfectly, Parked in garage last night, would not start this AM. starter would engage but not turn over.
I suspected a Hydro Lock ( as I have been experiencing coolant loss)
Pulled the plugs & tried starter still nothing.
Time to pull out the big guns,
Pulled the fan clutch off, put a socket & breaker bar on the Crank pulley & it wont budge!!!
Anyone ever heard of this before??

Welcome.
OOPS.
Not had that one with any of my V12's.
I gather that no coolant ran out the plug holes???.
I suggest a re-ask in the XJS section, and the Guru's in there will chime in as the planets align.
