Replying to: euphonium (Jul 15, 2008 8:14 am) Actually, you hit the nail on the head. It was a bad coil, which was causing a misfire. The shop replaced the coil and plugs, now no problem. Always take it to a Jaguar mechanic though, the first shop just took it for a test drive, then said the transmission was bad.

Replying to: euphonium (Jul 15, 2008 8:09 pm) Since you seem to know a lot, how easy is it to replace the bulbs that make the clock LED's work, as they are not readable at this point. I know I have a watch, but I'm on the go a lot and a working clock woutd be nice. Replies to this message: euphonium (Jul 16, 2008 8:18 am)

Replying to: drcures (Jul 16, 2008 12:42 am) Is the brightness dependent on a dimmer or reostat that varies the volume of light illuminating the rest of the dash? If so, turn up the dash lights dimmer to it's brightest setting and see if it is connected to the clock.

#31 of 64 Transmission fault light-Jag Transmisison problems by cin2 Oct 02, 2008 (1:22 pm)
Jag transmission problems? Contact immediately, the NHTSA hotline center.(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.) Either e-mail NHTSA Hotlinetelesishq.com or call 1-888-327-4236. They will take your complaint seriously. If they have enough complaints, they will open an investigation and determine if a recall should be done. Sept 30,2008 my 1998 XJ8 started balking and the transmission fault light came on.The car did not want to move forward, but very slowly. in several miles, there was a loud thuuump.The car did not want to accelerate. I had the car carried home on a flat bed truck. I googled transmission fault Jaguar and came across several sites with a multitude of complaints from Jag owners about failed transmissions. I called Jag Corporate and they claim not to have any complaints about transmission fault problems. Jaguar stated that the owners of the vehicles with transmission fault problems probably do not service their cars. I stated that is simply untrue, that you cannot say that all the Jaguars that have transmisison problems have owners that do not take care of their vehicles.   I reminded him that I had called Jaguar and complained about 3 years ago that my Jaguar would suddenly lose power on the interstate and I was fortunate that I was not killed.It happened about 6-8 times and Jaguar told me that they had no other complaints about the issue. Well, here we are almost 3 years later and 6 months ago they issued a recall for the Throttle Operation which in "EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES" could cause the car to lose power.     I filed a complaint online with consumer.com and the NHTSA.  NHSTA recorded the information today with a case number and will have an investigator review it within the next 48 hours. I called a transmission shop and was told that the drum breaks and the metal gets into the transmission and that it is a common problem for Jags.     SO IF YOU OR ANYONE THAT YOU KNOW HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I URGE YOU TO IMMEDIATELY FILE A COMPLAINT. Good luck . Cin2
