non starting xj8

my jaguar xj8 2000 does not always start on turn of key. All I hear is a click. Several attempts, leaving it for several minutes or longer is needed before it will start. Can anyone tell me what is causing it.

Typically bad earth between the engine and the chassis or voltage drop at the false bulkhead connector or the high current fuses in the boot. There's lots of threads on the forum here about what and where.

Good luck.
