Hi Guy's,
Merry Christmas to you all. One of our favourite past members has unfortunately developed a no spark condition in his early XJ12, never yet ( touch wood ) has that happened to me, help me help my friends,
Sincerely, Art

Art, my friend. Shame on you! You provide no informnation at all about the car other that its having a V12 engine. Series I? II? III? it matters!
you say "early", but that can mean anything.
If you were meaning a Series III car, I would most definitely suggest looking at that troublesome GM module in the ignition amplifier; in fact, I would go first to the amplifier regardless of series. If the car does have electronic fuel injection, then this module is a frequent trouble spot. Note that it is made by GM, not Lucas. Easily replaceable - the module within the amplifier, that is, not the entire amplifier ($$$$).
Otherwise: the obvious: the coil and any connections (but you know that). Or on an early car, the trigger board in the distributor?
