Hello, Tone,
You say your car is a '79, but not now many miles on it of if it's been sitting for Years. All that matters.

I'm not that familiar with the 4.2l, but other members of our Xj6 playroom will, here:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...s-i-ii-iii-16/
I'll look for you there.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome.

Elinor has pointed you to the Tech Section for your car.

As for "normal", yes, all mine have done that.
