Great Tip. I have a 1990 XJ6 Vanden Plas. It has a separate TRIP Computer to the right of the steering column. Please describe how to access the engineering test mode on this model (Holding IN TRIP button?). My battery warning light stays on even after installing new battery, and battery seems to stay charged.
