Flex, any progress with your XJ12?

Were you able to read engine codes, if any? Sounds like something failed suddenly. Perhaps an ignition coil pack or a MAP sensor. Those failures should set a code. Also, gasoline contaminated with water will cause symptoms like that in any engine.

In my experience, the X305 XJ12 air, fuel and ignition systems are quite reliable. There are two fuel pumps, and the car will still run normally if either one of them fails, except when fuel demand is high. Yes, it's a Jaguar V12 so fuel demand is always high, but I mean when your foot is deep in the throttle. :D

I saw you had trouble with your battery too. A correct and healthy battery is absolutely essential, so that must be settled first.

Hope to hear from you. Sorry, there is not much traffic in this section with only a couple thousand of these cars scattered across the entire world! Glad to see another here.

Ok please do, Don't be surprised if they come up with a long list of needs, some needs more important than others. And be aware that they might not even have a V12 technician anymore. Maybe there's an old timer still around? Hopefully they can come up with a sensible solution without quoting you a fortune. Most of the work on the V12 can be accomplished by the home mechanic, following the factory service manuals. But don't mention that! Good luck.

The common item in the 4 lights is the left rear speed sensor , it is also your speedometer on the X300 series

All 4 wheel speed sensors are inductance sensor that have the same between the 4 wheel positions fundamental integrity reading of 1300 ohms , so if one wire pair is different you have a find

The functional signal that comes out is a sine wave that has a count per time

The most common fix on the sensors is cleaning the sensor face is fragile and break in removing from the hub

The sensor part numbers are different for the VIN and position
