Thanks for the link Dave, that's just what I was after. I'll definitely be ordering one! Cheers, Phil

Oh dear, Ive put my foot in it now! It's just my perception based on fairly limited understanding admittedly. Lower maintence, no mechanical parts to wear out, no condenser to fail, no contacts to rely on for spark effectiveness, allegedly better mpg. My experience with the systems in four cylinder ...

Thought I'd say hello. I'm a new member with a tasteful gold x type estate and an even more snazzy brown Daimler 250 v8. The Jag was a recent purchase as the family runaround and is already forging a bittersweet relationship with its owners. While its a fantastic drivers car with plenty of poke, the...

Hi Alec, that does sound interesting. I'd be keen to find out more if anyone's got further information?

I'll decide on any anti roll bar upgrades once this is sorted but I'll probably keep it original spec. I'...

Thanks for replies gents. Both springs and dampers appear to be originals and don't perform as they should anymore. I've been advised it would sensible to replace to regain some much needed stiffness, especially on fast corners! It seems sc parts stock 2 grades of spring, some I'm waiting for them t...

Hello, I'm a new member, forum user and relatively recent convert to the world of Jaguar. I've a query hopefully someone can clear up for me. My Daimler V8 is in need of some new front springs and dampers. I've read that the mk and Daimler use different rated coils to account for the difference in e...
