| Jan 17, 2019 at 17:38 | comment | added | Solar Mike | I have a jag (x-type) and if I am going on holiday for 3 weeks and the car won't be used I connect a battery monitor / charger to it to keep the battery topped up. The reason is that the jags do like a properly charged battery otherwise many spurious faults start to appear... This has been noted by many owners and even the best jag techs say the same : keep the battery topped up... | |

| Jan 17, 2019 at 13:48 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | Concur with @SolarMike here ... I'd suspect the battery is the root cause of your issue as well. With the right tools, a parasitic drain and/or bad alternator would be easy to spot. The battery is really the weak point in the chain. Also, if the battery is anywhere close to or older than five years, it's time for replacement anyway, so changing it wouldn't be a bad idea. | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 12:26 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Given your story, I would suspect a broken internal link in the battery as another possibility - had this happen to me, an absolute so and so to find... as intermittent problems are so difficult to isolate... | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 12:13 | comment | added | alephzero | You don't suddenly go from "running OK" to "not even dashboard lights" because the battery isn't charged. If the battery runs completely flat while driving, usually the engine stalls when the RPM drops to idling. You must have an intermittent bad connection somewhere. Likely candidates are the battery terminal connectors, and the earth strap to the car body where the body end can get corroded. An intermittently faulty ignition switch or relay might be another cause. BTW "3 weeks parked to flatten the battery" is a bit short - 3 months might be long enough for it to go flat but not 3 weeks IMO. | |
