Thanks for the nudge to stuizy. I'm not trying to turn some large profit, just recoup funds for my project and free up room in my garage. Pretty much everything I've sold on eBay has been listed at the bottom of other's prices for the same part. I've got a perfect rating but figure have to list lower if competing with some business with thousands of sales. It's been kept inside since removed.
yeah I have seen that transmission sold for 1000+ I saw your page on ebay many xjr parts wish you the best and I hope we can save stuizy Jag

Thanks. Sales have gone pretty well. The Camaro, XJ8 project car, XJR parts car, Jaguar Specialties kit, driveshaft, computer reflash and miscellaneous parts total $17353. Parts sold $12551. Still have to do exhaust and headliner. When all done and rest of parts sold hope to have $4000 in.
I managed to locate a local 2000 with 68,xxx miles for $600. I will go with this. Should be here tomorrow.
I also have numerous other parts timing chain kit, water pump, various seals etc
plan is to install the used transmission and address any engine running issues then move onto timing chains etc,
once again many thanks for the encouragement and support. Will get this beast back on the road!
Good luck with this project stuizy get high quality 24mm socket for the crankshaft bolt and iirc the original water pump had metal gasket I couldn't find it get mahle rubber gasket and also mahle valve cover gasket felpro is very thin and cheap made replace coolant lines it will go probably soon and new thermostat also get mahle thermostat seal I would go with Bosch super Plus spark plugs get permatex gasket maker you may need it here n there . I'm retiring from jaguar scene soon
Stuizzy, did you post a pic of your XJR in any of the other threads? If so, where and if not, post it here. I don’t care (to me at least) if it’s not a show car or in rough shape. Your bringing it back to life and that’s what counts.
Secondary fuel pump maybe dead or the relay for it...secondary pump kicks on at about 3000rpm. I had something similar in my 01 XJR when I bought it, but it was throwing a code, in my case the relay pins were dirty and all it took was a R&R to resolve. Yours sounds like it might just be a dead second pump.
Nice to see someone else from the area. I live in Kingston, work in Albany and go to Clifton Park here and there to meet with a vendor.
I'm pretty sure it won't be that.
When I got my XJR the secondary pump was dead, but it revved out fine. Although there was noticeably more power with enough fuel being delivered after it was fixed.
Easy to check the pumps at least. Pull the relays in the boot & bridge the large contacts, you'll hear the pump spin up in the tank if it's working. I can't recall if I needed the ignition on for the test, stick a volt meter on first to confirm either way.
I had done what Hooli suggest and both pumps are running and delivering fuel. I read somewhere if the ECU detects a transmission fault it limits the revs to 3000, may be that. Will know with the new transmission
Addicted2boot requested a pic of the car - here it is - paint in rough shape (to say the least)
I read somewhere if the ECU detects a transmission fault it limits the revs to 3000, may be that.
Restricted performance warnings do the same & the car also limits the revs like that in neutral I believe. So you could well be on the right track. I'd expect a warning light & message from an error that'd trigger that condition in the ECU though.
After a few months work off and on I have the care driving again
Used transmission installed
All new coolant hoses
All new tensioners chains and guides
etc
etc
Car runs and drives. When the last tranmission failed I got a P0730 error (incorrect gear ratio) This has not cleared with the new transmission. I have driven the car a few miles, transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears. Tried to clear the error but it wont go away. I am guessing I need to give the car a decent drive to clear the DTC. Just concerned about potemtial damage.
