Hi there i am a new member and this is my very first thread. I am desperate for some advice on my xj8 3.2 sport v8 1998 jag.i have had this problem 5 times since buying my jag 2 years ago .the problem is that sometimes when i try to start the car it can flood very easily if it doesn't kick in straight away.i have been told that the petrol inside the chambers is diluting the oil round the piston rings therefore the chambers have very little compression and just continues to flood even more.i have been told how to get the car started by taking out all 8 plugs and coils,drying them out and putting oil into the chambers and disconnecting the fuel pump fuse,replacing the plugs and coils ,fire up the engine. If it kicks in replace the fuel pump fuse to continue fuel feed.an absolute pain to go through this every time it floods.can anyone tell me if they have the same problem and what is causing this i.e.cheap oil put in at garage service and also exactly how much oil i should put in the chambers.desperate, please help.ps jag garage, (not dealer) takes £120 to rectify this.
