    when I try to start the car with the main key it does the system check and shows nothing wrong, but want start the car when turn all the way, there is no sound at all.The key will unlock doors and trunk. The green Valet key will start car and work doors, But the Owner Manual it tells not to use for normal driving. If anyone can help with this problem I would appreciated.

    It seems as though the XJ8 from 1998 to 2000 all of them experience transmission failures or engine failures or both, and many cases multiple recurrences.

    So if I buyt a $2000 XJ8 from those years now, I probably expect to get about 10000 miles of trouble free driving and after that it would be $10000+ in repair to fix problems, rebuilding transmission and rebuilding engine must be accounted for.
