Thank you!

Hi All, A friend of mine is having a nightmare finding the right blades for his S Type. The existing ones just seem to be plain with a wide open pace to accommodate the U clip and the washer attachment secures it on. Yet, the Bosch blades he bought are not the right ones and Euro Car parts have been...

Later cars had Kent wheels with the centres painted a 'gunmetal' colour but I seem to recall that earlier wheels had a darker shade, much closer to black. Mike.

I think I like the closer to black look. If I ever get another XJS, that's what I will do.

When I had a set, I was never able to obtain confirmation of the colour code of the dark segments. The people I took them to said it was "range rover grey" or something like that. My set went on an XJS.

Jag Specialist in Ealing are good. Not cheap, mind.

Spit & Polish performed an amazing job on my Kent wheels. I'm sure they could do the same for yours.

This is a very useful guide along with Nigel Thorley's "You and your XJ-S"

I remember that book only TOO well! Haha!

Maybe it’s because they are not lacquered wheels? I’ll no doubt be cleaning them again soon. Maybe i’ll use the jet washer this time. Also have IRON X to try.

The door mirror on the passenger side is not responding to the joystick. My first thought is “OH MY GOD I HAVE TO TAKE OFF THAT BLOODY DOOR CARD WHICH WAS A NIGHTMARE TO PUT BACK LAST TIME”

Is it likely the connectors inside have come loose? Should that be the first thing I check?

Thanks.

It does concern me if these Jag specialists are being called into question, because I often have to rely on their honesty and integrity because I simply do not have the knowledge to know these thing myself. I would hate to think being a not mechanically savvy Jag owner means I’m an easy target for f...

In the end I took it to The Jag Workshop who have been looking after the car since I bought it. Handbrake needed sorting, but it passed today.

I didn’t. The Jag Workshop fixed it when it flagged up on their MOT. It does feel tighter now.

“Rear parking brake recording little or no effort.”

Had the MOT today, handbrake needed sorting for a pass, but all good and sorted for a year. Also ran into another member’s facelift convertible XJS “SGO” with this rather spiffy badge on the grill. Didn’t get to meet the owner. https://thumb.ibb.co/dmLUjc/40710144_DFBF_4025_9_B9_E_A1_A516_EA2542.jpg
