I have an 2008 sov estate 2.2D 65000 on the clock.
There is no dipstick for the aoto box sealed for life Jaguar say.
However in the near future I will find someone who can do this work as I am far from happy with this concept.

Well I feel justfied bit of work to do . Fuel tanks out outer sills removed. lots of filler lots of pop rivets and outer sill wrap around inners which are rusted to floor pan. Typical 1980/1990 dealer bodge looks wonderfull but under it all a bodge job. However main frame is good and she will be goo...

A small update . The car is now with the rust wizard but he does more than that. To date. Carbs now balanced correctley starts at first button and the auto choke works. ( have removed the awfull electronic switch on the dash that the last owner used to start the car) Electronic ignition and silicone...

Put the heater on the other day and the wife and the mother in law went to sleep while I was doing 70 and watching the fuel dissapear. Must be a good sign on my way to being...

Many thanks to you all for your help on this. I will print it all off and take down to the guy who is doing it. He will no be under a Jensen or his Alpha at the moment if he has finished the Bentley (No accounting for taste you pays your money and takes your choice.) I expect to get it down over the...

Many thanks for the imput. I agree with you in terms of the borascope. Haveing said that we have on the car some work in the past on one of the rear wheel arches we need to investigate and I have on the other side some welding done on the floor pan front near the brake pedals. The general underside ...

The guy who is going to rust check and waxoil my car has aked me to find a source for sills.? He is a serious guy and intends to take the outers off to check the inside. As he says we need a back up plan if we have problems. Does anyone know where I can source these items i belive they come in three...

1968 420 G. Problem now that I have got the tickover set at 500 and its ok I can ask this as I thought this was due to a tickover at over 600 revs. When I select reverse I get a horrible clonk from the rear of the car. The diff and drive shaft are ok they have been checked out. This happens to a sma...

Its ok please tell me how.
Keep getting this message Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

Well I have tried and tried to get the phots on and all I get is the board attachment quota is full. Yes I have reduced to a minimum?? Any ideas?? Auto ignition is back loose wire in the dis" we will get it on with the new silcon leads and see what happens. You would not belive the amount of crude a...

1. Keep it Dry. 2. Get it waxoiled and some paint on the front floor section drivers side. 3. Renew seals on quater windows 4. Adjust rear door closer to stop wind getting in. 5. sort outo auto box bump when going into reverse 6. Finish tuneing those darn carbs. Apart from that not much else. :? Larry

Many thanks to you . I have to get t the bottom of this rough tickover . The dist" is a little worn but the valves clearences seem fine. So one step at a time I have gone for 123 electronic ignition system which has several tuning settings the dist"" will be replaced by this system so thats one less...

Came from Morpeth Northumberland. Across county via A69 to Carlise and down M6 to turn off to reach lakes. Thanks for the invite I will take you up on it once the old lady has had her nappy changed and waxoiled. Some way to go to match your car but i will get there. By the way I think these two are ...

One comment the garage reported that it was a 5 min job as they where all free and easy to adjust said i was a lucky man?. All p...

Hello Stuart, very true and things have moved on, as they don't have distributors either. Alec I bought the 420g as a car which needs some attention but usable and in the main ok. I have done some investigation on this subject and when I have found the right person I will I belive be fitting these....
