Hi all . I've got a 98 xj with the 2.5L VM Turbo Diesel. Not many of these still alive here in N.Z. far as I can tell but I love driving mine (284 thou. clicks...) although I've been reduced to a jibbering wreck now and again dealing with various engine issues. I have a Manual for the Diesel version but doesn't include Electrics. The Diesel XJ has a starting sequence involving two Dash lights. One is the usual Glow Plug indicator light but these also have an ignition key symbol with Line through it that lights up . You require for both to go out before starting. Went to go out the other night and the key symbol didn't light and she's now very hard to start . I suspect Glow plug/s or the relay or ???. If anyone can help with the wiring layout I'd be grateful as I start checking... Cheers.
