Hi Rob. Haven't any probs with the "high pitched whine" since last post..... thankfully. However, regarding the "not running right" probs I've had recently. I took the car to H W R Motor Sport - near Newcastle - to have them find out what the problem is. They've narrowed down the fault to being a we...

Ok. I got back Saturday night, (cars's been parked in Blyth Harbour since Wednesday morning), everything relating to the above was - and still is - fine :!: So now i can move on to other issues, of which there are many! Thanks for your replies, I'll be in touch - engine not running right at the mome...

Thanks Andy and Rob for your replies. Here's where we're at... The Battery was disconnected and on charge for a few hours yesterday afternoon.

Hi all, and HELP!!! After leaving my XJ40 outside for a week while away at work, I came back to a constant high pitch whine when I opened the door. Also the interior lights didn't come on.

Bought an XJS a few weeks ago, just tried to enter into register, but there is already an entry for this car! What happens now?

hi Robv12, I'm fairly sure the output shaft bearings are rumbling as i've removed them, and they feel rough when I turn them. But whether they're the cause of the "drone" im not so sure now, cos i don't recall the cornering having any effect on the noise. Thinking about it, accelerating and de-accel...

Hi robv12, I'm looking for a replacement output shaft with nice quiet bearings to fit back into my XJ40, to hopefully cure the "drone" i've had whilst driving. Can you help? I might even need the other side too! The car is currently up on axle stands with the N/S output Shaft - and bearings that rum...

Hi, can anyone tell me why, when i switch on the heater fan in my 1991 XJ40, i only get warm air blowing through the screen and face vents, whilst cold air is blowing down at my feet!?
