Hi,

With a couple of friends have purchased a XJ40 4.0 sovereign 1990 to be our trusty stead to take us around Europe for 7 days and 2500 miles as part of a "banger" rally... we could have chosen a euro box or something jap, but in a moment of madness bought this characterful Jag.

There's a few bits and bobs to sort out, mainly a brake pressure light and a battery discharging itself, so I'll get asking in the relevant sections...

Happy to be a Jag owner!
Mark

 

Welcome to the forum Mark,

Can't beat cruising the Continent in style. Good luck.

 

 

having the same problem with my 88 low break pressure light and and a battery that wont keep a charge already changed the alternator and the battery two months ago just recently started doing it again dont realy know what else to do have you fixed yours yet?

 

Hi again, you probably have a duff sphere. Listen very carefully I shall... nah, but do listen carefully, when you press the brake pedal do you hear the pump coming on every time, if so indicates duff sphere.

Nuff for the tech stuff or I shall have to give myself a warning.

Post away in the XJ40 section, the guys will help.

 

already worked it out many hours of wiring but its done

 

Hi Nathan.

I've started a thread here about the brake pressure light: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...51/#post386432

I guess you meant you've fixed your battery issue? I haven't looked into that yet, but if you have any pointers would be great

 

yes i fixed the battery and im in the mix of doing the brake pressure light right now i have the resevoir seystem off being i just started already relalised the little rubber brake cromment thats attached to the plunger on the cap was cracked and fell of still havnt found all of the pieces in the system yet
