Hopefully I'll make it this weekend.
With 50mph drizzle forecast, I don't foresee many enjoyable jobs in the garden.

Unfortunately we have our Regional weekend away this weekend.

That in itself is not unfortunate, of course, it's great fun. It's just unfortunate it clashes with breakfast club.

Have fun, looking forward to next time.

The answer is 3/4" with 48 splines.

Boot rummage. Brilliant.

See you there.

Hi all, Just a thought for those that don't do many miles. Check your tyres, not just for tread depth but also the age. I noticed I had slow puncture on the rear of my car and upon closer inspection could see that whilst not at pressure, there was cracking visible in the side walls. Then I read the ...

Hi,

Does anyone know how many splines are on the steering shaft of a 1990MY XJ-S, and what the shaft diameter is, please?

I'm trying to get a boss so I can try a different wheel but the one I have is completely wrong in spline / diameter.


Cheers

Yes, we'll be there. And with no squeeky steering this month. Thanks

But more importantly what the heck has happened to the forum style?

Eeew. It's worse than the rest of the JEC website and that takes some doing.

Almost, but not quite. On the ones I'm looking for, the pairs of spokes are parallel. As this thread is supposed to be about tyres, for safety's sake I'm going to replace the bands of death with a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 on the existing wheels. The quest for the wheels I want continues...

to start with Sepangs are 20 inch!!!, they look the business I agree, but are a real pain to refurbish, often impossible to get the rim ring off rendering the wheel u/s my advice of years of XJR 350 miles, 100's of thousands, is to go for 19 inch, Sabre, Custom or Performance, fit good quality tyre...

Absolutely. Unfortunately these grotty things were on the car when I bought it hence my desire to replace them with proper tyres.

However, I don't want these 20" wheels either so need to find a sensible wheel to put the proper rubber on

Thought I'd spice up this thread with a tale of disappointment. For the past few of weeks I've been running around in my newly purchased XJR with the most appalling tyres. It has Triangle TR968 on the rear and Achilles ATR Sport on the front. It's like driving on slurry. Under steers and wheels spin...
