Bore Wash, I'm retarded (Update)
My car has been misfireing. I let it stand for a few days then tried it, it was still missing so turned it off. Doh !!!! I always get it up to temp before turning it off, even when moving it a few feet. I don''t know why i didn't this time. Now guess what, bore wash.
Tried cranking it with WOT, but no joy.
Any tips ?
Thanks

Bore Wash, I'm retarded (battery removal ?)
Just been looking at removing the battary, it has some sort of clamp at the base of the battery, how do i go about removing this.
I don't have the bar marked by the blue arrow.
The clamp thing is circled in red.
The reason i ask is i'm a bit ham fisted and don't want to break anything.
Thanks

If you go the oil route, read this thread- https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...er-wash-49001/
To save time you might want to just do the left hand bank, or whichever cylinders are easier to access in your car.

Charged battery for about 40 hours, Put it back in car (that was 1cm deep in ice) and started cranking with wot.
The engine seemed to turn over a little faster than it did before charging the battery.
Cranked for 15 seconds ish then waited 15 seconds cranked again, did this maybe 10 times still the same.
Lifted my foot a little while cranking and could hear a noise in engine bay and very slight coughing, moved my foot up and down and got most "coughing" with 75% throttle.
Continued to crank (and prey) with wot and then 75% throttle it coughed more and more then fired in to life.
Whoo hooooo.
Just got my misfire to sort now. (elm on the way)
Thanks to everyone for their help.
Without this forum it would have needed lifting to a garage to be sorted, costing god onlys knows what.

Phew! Persistence paid off, well done!
You may need to note code details and clear them, as there may be some extras due to what's occurred. Oh, wait, battery off so the ones you had have gone. Oh well, they'll come back. Expect P1000 initially or P1111 (if you're lucky) - have a read of the codes PDF especially the first 10 or so pages. Don't try to clear either of those codes (the reading should make it clear why).
