Lucas electrical system for 1994 jaguar

Purchased a '94 jag. owner said "lucas electrical system needs a little TLC work to run properly".......riiiiight. Is the only way to do this through/with a jag mechanic? Can a person with a fair amount of mechanical training do this himself?

sounds like a lot for labour charge,but yes its a big job to remove the headlight unit ,its about a 20min job to remove then time in finding fault and then refitting it.Also on the garages side you are paying for all the time in college as well.as one solicitor said to me once you dont pay for what i do but for what i know ????.But look on the bright side its a JAG which means no smoking in it ,polish it every sunday and every second week rub the leather seats in with cream.also find a partner who is a mechanic to look after it for you

SOURCE: Problem with 2005 Jaguar XJ8L

Hi Tracy.
Yes its a new one to me too !
I presume its an automatic model ?
Possibly the gear selection inhibitor switch is at fault, due to water ingress ?
Have you tried starting in neutral ?
Do you hear any clicking from the engine starter at all, when you turn the key ?
If you do, then suspect the starter motor at fault.
I see you posted this on Dec the 6th, so expect you have located the problem by now, if not hope I have been of some help.
Best Wishes !
John.

SOURCE: 1989 jaguar xj6 new engine or new cylinder???

At that price replace the engine. Make sure though that you get a warranty for the engine that includes the cost of installation if the new one fails. Most shops will warranty for 90 days which is long enough to find out if there is going to be a problem.

How can I hook a backup camera to my in dash display in a 07 Jaguar S-type

You need to seek help in the future on that Jag owners Forum, Jags are not a main stream car here in the USA, so knowledge of this rare type of inquiry is very limited.

1997 jag 3.2 immobiliser won't deactivate when key in ignition

i'd take to a jag specialist as they will know the exact alarm jaguar used on your model as they use a lot of other make equipment and you do need to know jags to get the right part for the particular vehicle, you could try a jaguer forum as these places are full of info like that

I am blowing cold air in the winter and heat in the summer. What is causing this.

It's a very common problem in British cars, the same reason the British drink warm beer...they have LUCAS refrigerators. Lucas, otherwise known as the "Prince of Darkness" probably designed your heater as well. :-) Seriously though, it sounds like you need a new thermostat in your coolant system. Should be pretty cheap, even in a Jag.

The headlights are out (two of the four) and one has been replaced with a new one (passenter side went first - now the other one is out), but still will not work. The side turn signal on the passenger...

their is a relay pack for the lights which is behind the lights and this relay pack is operated by the controls inside the car via the fuses ,well their is on the XJ like mine.why is it costly in your local garage just to remove an headlight and check the bulbs see how the system operates and familirise ones self with it.Sounds like your local garage is run by some geneticly inbreed creeps who think that mending a jaguar car that great proud monumentous mark of quality cars made in GREAT BRITAIN by real dedicated crafted car workers instead of detroit morons ,seems to think that because you have a jag your his next meal ticket so he can take his kissing cousin out.If you are having a problem with the dealership because they cant repair your vehicle then complain to jaguar cars coventry great britain they will sort the dealer out.another tip, try the ford garage as jaguar was owned by ford and and the mondao and lincoln are the same chassis and running gear,not sure about the electrics though but my XJ6 4ltr is all ford behind the dash.Sounds like its only a few blown bulbs to me though and the indicator might only be a dodgy bulb holder that needs a clean
