xj wont start
Batter is fine, lights, radio and locks all work, makes one click sound when turning the key and the alternator was on its way out, is it a simple alternator replacement or starter? Please help

First, i'd get your battery tested and fully charged if it's good. Clean up the terminals shiny bright, then try to start it. If it doesn't start, you could make sure your starter connections are not loose, oily or dirty, and in some cases you can even whack the starter motor with a hammer to get one or two more starts out of it. Once your battery and starter are good, replace that failing alt. you mentioned. I'm wondering why you say it's 'on its way out'? Hope this helps
