1988 XJ-6 Towing

Linda,

If yo have the key code, I imagine a Jaguar dealer could cut the key for you and then send it to you. As far a sstarting, I'm not sure if the 88's had an inertia switch but you might check your book and see. That might have flipped if the car was josteled heavily. I'd call a Jaguar Dealer even if you don't live near one and ask if no one on the board can respond.

The towing capacity for your 1988 XJ6 is 2000 pounds. Don't exceed 200 pounds of tounge weight.

ROFL. I thought I was the only one secure enough in my status to think I could but a bumper hitch on a Jag-u-ar!

MY towing question is...in a moment of madness I agreed to have my '95 XJ6 towed rather than putting her on a truck, and now I think she thinks she's been Jaguar-napped. She refuses to start. She was fine before she was moved, there isn't a Jag mechanic in over a hundred miles, and the best man I could find can't see anything wrong with her...any ideas? It isn't a fuse, she seems not to be getting fuel?

Also...does anyone have a better idea than replacing the ignition when the keys to my '87 XJ6 are lost beyond retrieval? (Don't even ask!) A master locksmith spent three hours declaring he had never seen a car he couldn't cut a key for. He has now.

I'd sure appreciate some advice here.

Thanks, try telling my wife that :)

Any idea of what they are capable of towing?

I've never seen anyone who offers a Class II or Class III trailer hitch for an XJ6. There are Class I hitches available but they only bolt on to the bumper.

The design of the car does not lend itself to a Class II or Class III hitch.
