I have a 1982 V12 HE and the wipers, screen wash, horn and heater blowers have stopped working. I have read that this is usually caused by a faulty ignition load relay.I have checked the relay and it energises and has no resistance through the contacts. It also has 12V at the switching contact. All ...

Many thanks for all of your replies about my annoying noise. I took the plunge and dropped the front sub frame and immediately found the culprit. It was one of the subframe vee bushes. One side of the bush had completely rotted away. So while it was all off, I went and refurbished the whole subframe...

Dear All Many thanks for the replies and advice. I have tried soaking every rubber bushing one at a time with no result whatsoever. I have gone to every nut and bolt to check they are tight. The only thing I have not tried is replacing the track rod ends. I can't feel any play or knocking/creaking i...

Hi David
I replaced the top shock bushes a couple of months ago. So far, everything I have done to eliminate the noise has had no affect whatsoever, so I can only assume I haven't yet found the culprit.

Dear All I have a 1993 4.0l auto and I have this annoying sound coming from the font end somewhere. It is a random click or creaking sort of sound. It happens usually when manouvering slowly, particularly when reversing, sometimes when pulling away or coming to a stop. It does not make a sound when ...

Hi All Could anybody tell me how to work out what frequency my 93 XJS alarm system works on? I bought it without an existing fob, but I proved the system by getting it into the learning mode. I had bought a 433mhz fob, but my car did not recognise it. My reg is L120 CNF. VIN 189157 The number on the...

Thanks for info about extra air valve. Mine is definitely not working. There is 12V there as AC kicks in, but valve is dead, as i tried a direct supply to it and nothing happened. Does anybody know the part number? I can't find it in my catalogue or on websites from manners, robey or barrats. 1986, ...

Hi.
Could anybody tell me where the fibre optic light source is for the heater controls please?
I have 1986 3.6 manual vin 135303.

Hi to anybody who might be curious, re bunny hopping. I had to replace my radiator and i found that the connections and earths on the signal amplifier were not in good condition. when i replaced my rad, i duly cleaned all electrical connections, and miraculously the shuddering bunny hopping has stop...

Many thanks for replies. I've now got another rad to fit. The old one blew and when i removed it, it had fins badly damaged, blocked and quite a few were actually missing. It was difficult to spot all of the problems while it was in the car. I was quite shocked when i saw how bad it was. Does anybod...

I have a 1986 3.6 manual, and when i use my air con, the temp gauge moves from being just below the N (normal) to 3/4 high. Is this normal? Also, when i have AC on, the engine always stalls at a junction as i dip the clutch. Normal tickover is about 800 rev, but the AC brings it down so low the engi...

I have a 1986 3.6 manual, and when i let my foot off the accelerator, the car has a tendency to lurch forward and back (bunny hopping) shaking the whole car. The only way it stops is if i ride it out (which is uncomfortable), brake, accelerate or dip the clutch. I've recently serviced it with new fi...

I bought a 1986 3.6 manual coupe two years ago. I think its number is SAJJNAEC7CC135303. Its racing green. Have just got it through mot. Now starts the saving of pennies to eventually replace wing, doors etc. Its great fun to drive even though it doesn't look its best yet.

I recently changed my gauge in the dashboard in my 3.6 for a gauge from a V12. I now get a reading, but it is low (about 30psi). The sender has not been changed. Is the V12 gauge the same calibration as a 6 cyl or should i just replace the sender?
