![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My car set up for about a week while I was waiting on a part. During that week I went out to start it and it wouldn't turn over. The dash readings said electrical fault, gearbox fault and low brake fluid. Then after 4 more days, I went to try and start it, it was completely dead (absolutely no noise), and no dash readings nothing works. but I noticed the clock was working. Is this just a dead battery or an electrical problem.

Welcome to the forum Miss Charlee,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
Very high odds on it being a discharged battery.
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/ to the X308 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
Enjoy the forums.
