Hi Jaguarstyper,

I'm sorry to hear your new Jag is having issues.

You have posted in the forum for the X308 saloons. From your username I wonder if your Jaguar is actually an S-Type? It's always a good idea to add your Jag's year, model and engine info of your signature so others don't have to ask in order to give you the most helpful replies.

Please let us know about your car and if appropriate I'll move your thread to the correct forum.

It will also help us to know what you mean by "My car won't start..." Do you mean the starter will crank the engine over but the engine won't start, or it won't even crank?

Also, since you've only had the car a week, is this an issue the dealership should resolve for you?

Cheers,

Don

Default Alarm battery?

[QUOTE=ericjansen;1692724]The most common culprit (at least from my research) is the alarm horn battery.
This is a separate battery, they get bad over the years, corrode and start to drain.


Where is the alarm battery located, please?
