Thanks Brake Buster, Your help was excellent, Trim removed this morning and lacquer removed very slowly during the day. Now the hard part begins, Restoration and re-lacquer. Oh yes and try to locate some trim clips as I managed to snap some of them.

How does the wood trim on the dashboard area come off? I have had a look and am a bit worried about snapping it. The door panel trims have to have the door cards removed I would guess but the rest is a mystery to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Heelo all, I have recently re-joined the club. Now that my children are at school I have the time to get my xj-s running again. The Crank pulley and damper fell off 4 years ago and the car has sat in the garage since. This has now been fixed and i hope to have to have an mot shortly

Thanks for your help, I have purchased a Kenlowe fan with fitting kit,switch etc and will fit it when it arrives thanks again all.

The viscous fan on my 1986 V12 is sadly deceased. I am now thinking of replacing this with a Kenlowe fan . Has anyone done this and if so what fan do you reccomend. Help greatly appreciated. Sorry I am new to this and have just discovered where I should have posted this thread.
