99 XJ8 will not start

I still like to learn about my cars online so I can figure what's wrong with it when it needs repairs.
I appreciate all your support and try to frequent this board more often to learn about the problems I will encounter and what the solutions would be.
Thanks

I guess I understand about the knowledge- thats the main reason I follow Jag forums. And you really have to like working on a car for it to be worthwhile acquiring the tools and knowledge to handle the more involved repairs. BUT, it is frustrating to give details of a solution, then many times the poster either never replys or takes it to the dealer, who doesn't care what you "read on the internet"
If you have some time, and are inclined to learn, fuel pumps are not that bad, and you can find good help here and from Alldatadiy online manuals. he other advice I would offer, if you are going to keep a 8-12 year old Jag on the road, find an indie (like JagTechOhio) who you can trust, because the dealership rates are expensive.
How about letting us know how it comes out, and the costs, OK?

Now we moved to Richmond Virginia and have to figure out where the best place is to bring the car.
They picked me up at home this afternoon once the work was done. I know you are going to laugh, cost me just about $700 for the fuel pump replacement. I guess we'll be eating hot dogs for the next month.

Our XJ8 wouldn't start this week. In our case, when I turn the key, all hear is a loud click from the engine bay. The engine won't turn over at all. Checked the battery, it's currently sitting at 13.7v, and all lights/accessories light up as normal in the car. I'm assuming for the moment that it's the starter motor, and that it'll likely need to be replaced.....now if I can only find the service manual online.

Starter failure is rare. Check battery connections, load test battery, check positive connection stud underhood at RH side false bulkhead. That's the thingy back towards the windshield, it's a curved black fuzzy vertical panel with a big black plastic panel covering the top. The stud has a black rubber boot over it. Check to make sure the cable connections are secure on both ends of the stud.

Question, please help!!!
And if you want "proof", buy a $40.00 fuel pressure test gauge and connect it to the pressure test port. Look for 38-40 psi/
HI JAGTECH OHIO, a question on the above, I'm replacing the fuel pump I purchased an aftermark pump they gave me a "high pressure pump", on the specs of the pump it says pressure (PSI) Min 80 - Max 115, is this pump OK???
I have a Jaguar XJ8 VDP 2000
Thanks In advance!!
Cheers from Guatemala City!!
