Car completely dead

Evening All, I'm looking to see if anyone has experienced the same. Took the car away over the weekend that was a 2 hour drive on Friday, parked up and drove 10 minutes the next day. Left it there from around 10 until 5 and the car was completely dead. Tried jumping it over jump leads with no luck. Even tried to jump it with a commercial 12/24v booster pack and not even the starter would kick in. Luckily my father brought a new minibus battery with him as well as a booster pack when he came to my rescue so fitted that and fired straight away.

Iโ€™d be tempted to go into the secret 753 menu and look to see what the voltage is with the engine running, just to rule out alternator problems. 2017 Jaguar F Pace 25t Portfolio - still part of the JLR family ๐Ÿ˜€

I assume this is when it's running and charging. What's the reading when the engine is not running ? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Is your no start symptom, a tiny click when start button pushed, and the display going blank? -over and over again? And radio and headlights all ok?

ok, so this symptom has been very popular on the 4.4 l322 diesel. the starter trigger wire has a high resistance joint somewhere in the route from the fuse box to the starter motor. many have simply replaced the starter motor, which sort of gives a fix, but it just makes it easier to spin it up, so the trigger wire fault is not as apparent.... as with a tired starter.
have a read of this thread, https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic31909-105.html
and youll see my post confirming the repair, and youll see the repair details further back. its very easy to run a parallel wire temporary to prove the fault, and then about 1/2 hour work to tie it in on a more tidy route...
..on my car, and others that have done this, the fault is gone forever.....

basically the headlights work, the radio works, but when push the starter the screen goes black, and a tiny click is heard.. so you think the battery is flat, but its not, as lights works etc....

Thanks for this mate will have a read, I've tried putting the battery that I replaced on charge with a trickle charger and it's showing 40% which is making me think something has drained it

my alternator died once, right outside my house ....fortunately,
it went out in style, with copious smoke and dash bongs galore. but it took the battery out too. by the time i got the terminal off, it had about 9 volts... it was lucky it didnt burst open.

the issue with the starter, was with a perfect seeming battery, at around 12.65 volts.

11.9v is less than 40% charged, a Lead Acid Battery should not be discharged below 50% (12.05v) BMW i3 Electric Car
