Thanks for your help guys. Turns out it was the battery. I've since replaced it, and the XJ is running fine. Funny thing is, though, yesterday I fully charged the old battery, and this morning put a volt meter on it, and got 13.8 volts! I'm trying to work out why it wouldn't start the XJ with...

Hi guys I have a '95 XJ Classic/Limited with 4.0HO. Over the past week, I have noticed the battery is dead flat after being left overnight. I first thought it was an electrical drain somewhere, but couldn't find it. Now I think I have found the culprit... I put my multimeter on the back of the...

This is what it says in my Factory Service Manual. Hope it helps!!!

I made a similar tool for removal of the adaptor on my '94 4.0L HO... I guess if you are ever in Western Australia, I'll buy you a beer... No problems! :cheers:

Pre mixed. My wife was driving it for about a year... Maybe she ran low and filled it with water. Dunno. Have to ask her. Anyway, I'm just glad it's now fixed! I really didn't want to have to get another car!

Hey Joe That's what I can't understand. The water pump I bought was new, from a reputable parts store, and I cleaned and flushed the radiator, and used a "top quality" brand-name coolant... The summer temperatures here in Western Australia can get up to 45C quite often, so I only use good...

OK. I managed to get a mechanic over to check it out. Turns out my water pump, which is only a year old, was leaking and was corroded on the inside, and the thermostat was the wrong type. There is also a small pin hole in the radiator tank which I will be getting brazed tomorrow. $600 later, my...

Hey guys. I surmise this subject has been done to death, so please be patient! I have a '95 XJ Limited/Classic 4.0L HO, AW4,NP242,Dana 30s. Virtually stock. About 18 months ago my xj overheated while on a highway at 100km/hr. Turns out I split the radiator tanks. I replaced the radiator with...

Guys, you are a mine of wisdom. It was the ignition switch! Replaced it today, and it's working fine. Thanks!

Hi guys I've searched for this problem on the forum and can't find it, so here goes... I have had a problem over the last couple of days with my 95 XJ 4.0 Auto. After starting up, sometimes it doesn't want to turn off. I can remove the key and the engine keeps running. I have to block air flow...

. I was waiting for someone to say to remove the globe! I had a similar problem on a previous car and that was the suggestion I got... Not too helpful, but admittedly, the light will go out!:idea:

Awesome guys. New gasket ordered! Thanks!

Ok cool. Just gotta track down that gasket kit then. Thanks for all your help!!!

It lasted about 2 weeks before it started leaking. The RTV I used is for industrial high heat applications, so I figured it would be OK... But it looks like I'm going to have to go back to a '95 cover if they aren't interchangeable. Thanks for the replies, guys, really appreciate it!:wave1:

Thanks for the reply Jeff! I haven't checked to see if it is flat... I'm going to try fix the leak this weekend again, so I will definitely check it before I change the gasket! Cheers!

After replacing my rocker cover gasket about 5 times, I decided to use high temp RTV silicone to secure the rocker cover to the head. Unfortunately, it is still leaking.:rattle: I have a '95 4.0L HO with a '96 rocker cover. Could the problem be the change in year for the rocker cover?

Hi Kastein, thanks for your reply. You are correct, it is a 35 diff... Anyway, I Do have the black dome on the ceiling console, so I'm assuming it IS factory. I did buy the XJ used, so I'm not 100% sure of it's history, but the vin says it's a 95...
