I have taken the plunge and spent the day at Tom Lenthalls. I now have the Quaife LSD and also a re-map to try and make the most of all the power upgrades I have added over the last 12 months. I am very pleased with the LSD which seems to work well with the DSC. No more embarrassing wheel spin when ...

Interesting topic Mike. I have had 4 Jaguars with Brembo Brakes and every one has been prone to warping the front discs on a regular basis. I tried all the things that my dealer and other specialists suggested regarding bedding in new discs and not holding the car on the foot brake whilst stationery...

Just an update. My XJR went into a Jaguar specialist to have the modified STR coilovers fitted. Unfortunately they let me down due to a lack of labour :( . I had to collect the car untouched and as I had a front strut leaking air I had to take it to my local garage to have a spare front air strut fi...

Hi Mike
Yes I am documenting the project and already have photos of the strut top mods.

After yet more problems with my air suspension (this time its front o/s strut leaking) I am going ahead with fitting STR coilovers this weekend. I have had a set for sometime and I have adapted the top mounts by slicing the top off some old air struts, cutting off the STR studs and then welding the ...

Hi. I need to identify what model s type these springs came from. The original labels on the strut tops are long gone so i need to identify the springs from the colour codes. They are on cats shock absorbers which should narrow it down. Can anyone help? Cheers

Thanks for the tips guys. In the space of 12 months I have replaced 2 compressors( one was new OEM from Germany). I have also replaced the front units with Bilsteins after an airbag failure. also replaced a faulty height sensor. I have just lost all confidence in the whole system. Andy at AWJ will b...

After persistent problems with my 03 XJR air suspension that have cost me thousands in hard earned dosh I have decided to rip off the air units and replace with coilovers. I have a set of STR units with cats and I have read of these units being fitted to the X350 with success. I know the strut tops ...

Hi and welcome. I am in Stone so you may see my 02 Pacific blue STR about the Stoke area.
Steve.

OMG!! Did not expect snow and hail to stop me working on the x350 last night!! Crazy climate!

Hi Mike Had a long chat with Ian at XJK. Going to check the height sensors are all ok next and I have also acquired a spare module and solenoid block so this thing will not beat me!! Yes I have a simple OBD reader and there are no codes showing at the moment. She is still stuck on the drive looking ...

Thanks Paul. Tried that last night and no luck.

Hi Mike. Thanks for that. I didn't mention it but I have tried both a short and an extended battery disconnect to no avail. I have left the car running for 20 minutes as well as the drive around the block but it will just not kick in for some reason. at a bit of a loss as to what to do next

Ok, so I managed to deflate the suspension and fit the new compressor. started the car and nothing happens. Drove it around the block a couple of times ( great low rider!) and no attempt to inflate but no codes thrown just vehicle too low message. Checked the fuses and relay and they are all ok. Any...

I bought my first X350 last July as a stablemate for my STR. I love a challange so as with my STR 3 years ago I took on a car that needed some serious TLC. Its an early XJR in Platinum with Ivory and Had the Registration BT 03 EKA. It had stood for nearly 3 years with an imploded gearbox. It had no ...
