I have a 1968 420 which has a steel sliding sunroof (electric!) Having removed the interior lining panel in order to remove the steel roof during a full respray, I have the roof re-installed and working correctly BUT I can't fathom how to refit the interior lining cloth covered frame. I last did thi...

Does your distributor have condenser in it? Many years ago I had an MGB and after fitting a new condenser points etc it still did the annoying thing of going to 'tick-over' - and wouldn't rev when trying to emerge from a crossroads! It also cut out completely on occasion. I took it to a garage - who...

S type vacuum system Sent: Thu Mar 03, 2022 11:13 am From: marcusgoody Recipient: brent I have a scan from the S type parts manual. Can't find how to attach this to a pm!! If you send me an e-mail I can do it that way. Mine is marcus_goody@talktalk.net Basically you need to connect the pipe from the...

i also keep getting the "Air Suspension Fault" warning on the dash! Mine is a 2006 XJ Sovereign LWB model. On inspecting the Rear L/H Connector in the boot I found that someone had 'forced' the connector without aligning properly - and damaged the Pins! On top of the strut is a conical alu cover ret...

I have a warning light on the dash which I have traced to a damaged sensor on top of the rear shock - the two prongs have been crushed by the guy before me . He fitted a new shock but then proceeded to force the connector down without aligning the two (female) recesses. My local Jag guy says I have ...

Sorry! I got that wrong!!
Yes this will work!
Humble Apologies.

Looks fine - but once the cable has actually broken you are in the deep stuff! Only way to release then is to cut holes in the outer panel behind the wheel arch plastic trim and then the 'box' section then the Inner wing panel. If you can't weld a plate back afterwards the plastic trim under the bon...

I ended up 'carving' a double skinned area of the inner wing and finally released the 'latch' with a thin bent flat screwdriver! This was before I saw your Post but thanks for the info.[pic=][/pic] Think I cut more inner wing than I needed to but Hey Ho! Adecent hole-saw might have helked but I only...

In fact the cable has come undone! Short of cutting away at the inner wing - what can I do to release the catch?!!!

My X300 bonnet is only releasing on the Drivers side!
Any one have a trick for releasing the n/s catch please?
I'm sure its not a broken cable - probably just 'stretched' enough to not actually release the catch.

I have a owned a 420 since 1984! The vacuum choke - solenoid operated from the Otter switch - works perfectly!!! The previous owner had put a toggle switch just under the Dash -to enable him to turn the 'choke' off as soon as the car was on a fast road! This can be wired to interrupt the power suppl...

I have exactly the same problem with my 56 plate xk but with a Samsung Galaxy A10!!
Samsung suggest it is a problem with Jaguars software - but of course at the moment Jaguar are completely uncontactable!!
Did anyone PM you with a solution?? Regards, Marcus

My 2006 (56) XK is on its THIRD alarm siren module! It has only covered 46000 miles so I find these units of very poor quality - as when I opened one up to see if I could replace the re-chargeable battery I found in both cases that the pcb was horribly corroded. This gives rise to the "clicking fing...
