Digging around to try to figure out if the XK8 immobilizer ring is built into the key switch itself. Can't find anything else on the diagram that looks like a coil, so thinking that's the case. Can tear down the steering column but I've never done that on a car without breaking some random plastic tab that results in rattles... Can anyone confirm?

Wondering if the coil is inside of this:

The coil is a separate part, all you need to do is remove the shroud around the ignition switch to access it. I replaced mine about a year ago while trouble shooting a no start issue, wasn't the cause.

 

If you search on :

Jaguar LJA2668AB - you will get lots of pictures, information etc.

 

Perfect. Thanks!
