Urgent - car dead
Hey,
I was driving approx 40km/h when the car died, and it wont start. It turns over, but feels like there's no spark?
Replaced fuel filter, spark plugs and air filter last week, if that matters. Car is also converted to LPG, it was running on lpg when it died. It wont start on gas nor lpg though.

That is correct.
Also, by your signature, you are past that "magical" 100K mile mark, and for some alien reson these sensors go legs up anytime after that "magic" point, so a good bet in my opinion, and they are not expensive.
The electrical connector for that sensor is also a possible cause, it is vertically mounted, and general crud gets inside the plastic and CAN cause continuity issues.
Very little else on the X300 dies like that little item.

So I've ordered the sensor, and then I checked the car again - why does the sensor on my car look so much different from the one in the ad?
This is the one I bought: Jaguar XJ6 XJR X300 Crank Sensor LHE1640AA | eBay
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
This is the sensor, and it doesn't have a connector, instead I have to cut the wires? Is this normal?

The one on your car is someone's jury rig idea of a sensor, the one you ordered is the right one. My original went out at 80k when I went to change out the bracket to "Andy's bracket" it turned to dust. Having seen your picture of what's on your car I'm pretty sure it's your problem. Unfortunately it looks like someone's replaced the "plug" with wire splices.

WTFF???
The "F" appears here as the same basic word in both adjective and noun form.
What a hack! We should have a sticky where we can post real-life stories about how our cars were hacked while in the "careless owner(s)" phase of their history. Of course there would always be a restoration and happy ending to each story. I'm sure we would have many to share, unfortunately!
