" and "FAQ" Stickies are my first go to option.

Searching these Stickies is easy because, in most forums, all the topics are listed - usually alphabetically within logical groups. Beyond that, learning how to use the Search Tools is invaluable.

Anyway, back on your topic . . . so pleased to have been of help. Now, you can revel at scoring yourself against our 3 Priorities for new owners of the modern classic Jaguars -

• Priority #1 - download all the manuals, wiring diagrams, TSBs and other resources relevant to your model & year (MY) both here and at Gus' great JagRepair.com (and drop him a "thanks");
• Priority #2 - equip your car with a multi-stage smart charger to keep your car battery at full charge, permanently;
• Priority #3 - equip your car with an inexpensive OBDII scanner such as the almost giveaway ELM327 and install the Torque app on your smart phone.

As you can see, you are well on the way to setting yourself up well.
Best wishes,

Ken

Im getting scared about buying car .typically, how long can your car sit without needing charge ?
