My lovely old Jag wouldn't start up in the middle of nowhere the other day - all the accessories and lights were working but the engine wouldn't crank. The RAC man came and connected a battery straight to the starter motor and it started. Got it home fine, is there anything obvious worth checking before taking it to a garage (fuses/relays)?
Place your finger on the key barrel and move the shift lever out of park and you should feel a click on the key barrel confirming the not in park switch working
Thanks Parker, I checked the two fuses (fine) and the relay (clicking) then plugged the starter back in, and it fired straight up! Strange. But happy to be driving again.
