Sugar in Fuel
The only thing i can tell you is to get all the gas you can out of the tank, even if it means droping the tank. Then blow out the fuel line, install new filter, fill up with new gas with a fuel additive that cleans injectors and run it. I believe the worst that can happen is clog up the injectors, witch may not happen if you just run it. Depending on how much sugar was put in it.
Rear passenger side door will not open
Have you tried to open it from the back seat? If you have then you will have to take off the cover on the door and there should be a release button. Most covers are easily removed with a flat head screw driver - If your door requires a motor to operate than that is your problem. Hope this helps.
I have a couple of different problems with 99 jag XJ8
disconnect the new battery for about 10 minutes, then reconnect, then try the valet mode switch again, see if the other lights come on again, and the shaking could be a tire depending on how long it sat in one position, but most likely is warped brake rotors
2001 S-Type. Intermitant electrical problem.
Two quick fixes come to mind, 1, remove and cleane your battery post and terminals with a good wire brush, re connect and make sure they are very tight, (cant be turned by hand), brush can be bought at a auto supply store, cheap! #2 while you are at the supply store have them do a load test on your battery, most supply stores have this service, call ahead. im quit sure its one of the two! batterys in my option are not reliable after 3 yrs max. good luck, hoped this does it for u.
Where is the gear box oil check dip stick
there is no dip stick on this car, there is a allen key screw on the gearbox sump, the temperature for this check is stamped on the sump. its a job for a garage as the car has to be level you remove the screw and oil should only trickel out the filler is on the side of the box D
Unstable suspension
this is dangerous, you shoud have all the subframe bushes checkedby a garage asap also get your tyres checked! subframe buses wear out and the subframe moves left and right, at speed it is more noticeable hope this helps
XJ8 Jag 1999 Gas tank problem
TRY NOT PUTTING THE GAS NOSSLE AS DEEP INTO THE CAR ...IF THAT DONT WORK YOU HAVE VENTALATION PROBLEM INSIDE THE TANK...
Starting problems
Hi br start by checking the battery if it is old my advise would be change it D
Won't turn over
your starter is shot most likely. the noise is the drive gear at the end of the starter not throwing far enough onto the flywheel. Dont keep starting like this as a new flywheeel will be v expensive if damaged! Have your battery checked out too as a limp battery will not produce the power that the solenoid needs to throw that gear out properly and a new starter will fail too.
Pls rate me if this helps.

Hi.....
The code P0302, Missfiring detacted at cylinder # 2.
The Code P1313, Catalystic Damaged Bank A , due to Missfiring.
The code P1000, Transsmission check Not completed. during test.

If the compression is GOOD, Maybe you cen solve the problem Making a TUNE-UP.
But if the compression is LOW, You will need to spend Mony to REBUILT THE ENGINE or HEADS.
