I have a 2005 XJ VDP with about 120K miles....I've noticed a few hesitations when starting over the last few months, but so infrequent I forgot to have it checked during my last service. In any case, I went out this morning and it won't even hint at turning over. Although, I replaced the battery within the last year, and all lights, radio, a/c, etc. were working fine, I even tried jump starting it and letting it charge for about 20 min, but there was absolutely no difference. I'm afraid it may be the starter, but hoping it could be something less severe....any one had a similar experience?

By the way, I drove it all weekend without any issues. I didn't drive it yesterday at all, but noticed the issue when I tried to start it today. Thanks!

 

My Jag refused to start on one occasion and it was spinning so freely I thought the starter was disengaged. I left it for a day and then it started.

If it still does not start you will need to read the codes.

You can check for fuel pressure by pressing the schrader valve briefly on the fuel rail.
