Welcome to the forums John,

I've copied your question to XJ40 forum for advice from members with the same model. Here's the direct link to it:

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj40-xj81-25/ to the main XJ40 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 Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-mid-atlantic-65/ to find other members in your region.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. 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 to the Forums.

NOT doubting Graham's directions for help. but I notice you mention the "mechanic drained the" tanks", which I took to be 2 tanks, one each side??

This would make your car a Series 3, a very late one, and the year is a cross over, well down here it is, not sure on the USA market.

Maybe the Series 1/2/3 Tech section will be suited.

Good luck.

John,

Don B noticed my mistake and moved your question from XJ40 to XJ6 Series I, II & III forum. Here's the direct link to it:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...return-237928/

We got the XJ40 a year earlier in the UK than you did in the USA.

Graham
