Hi, I have a 1995 XJR 4.0 ltr X300 series. For some time now it has had an intermittent clicking noise from what sounds like a relay on the left hand side of the consul. It seems to be speed related as it seemed to happen once the throttle got a bit stiffer. I lubricated the throttle control body & it still did it. Today it actually stopped totally after the gearbox warrning light came on. This light has come on before very rarely but has never seemed to effect the driving,I know that it is supposed to limp home but it drives fine. If you have any suggestions or thoughts it would be greatly appreciated as I love this car & it is a shame to have this click be so annoying. I can only drive with radio at a certain volume?? Regards, Bruce

The transmission connector has a bad connection and then it enters in limp home mode. You don't have gears, only third gear until you stop it and restart it. Check your trans mounts, excessive movement can cause problems with that connector(it is located on the driver's side of the trans).
 
Manuals you can buy from Ebay.
I bought mine for $36.(the whole leather binder with all the manuals)

Faulty computer? by rekrab

Regarding my 1998 XJ8: I have 3 electrical issues, and have been told by the local electrical shop that they are all caused by a faulty computer. 1. The ignition switch does not activate in 3 tries out of 4. Starter checks out ok. 2. Seat does not automatically adjust to set position when car is cranked. All other memory components work fine. 3. Doors lock and then immediately unlock when the plunger is pressed. To lock doors, it is necessary to use the key or the FOB. If this is computer-related, what is the best way to get a good repair done with the least expense? Also, do you have any idea how to get the right part number, if it is a computer that I need? Thanks, Jim in FL

We just yesterday purchased a XJ8 1999.
  
We had windows tinted. There was water dampness inside car from process.
  
On way home, one window automatically went down anf the steering wheel moved.
  
Returned and dealer said it would be okay when it dried out.
  
Today it is still doing these things.
  
Has damage been done? If not, what should or can be done?
  
Taking it back tomorrow to dealer.
  
Appreciate your direction.
