Hi and welcome.
Was that the morrocan bronze v12 on ebay recently??, i must admit ive never seen one it that colour but i thought it looked stunning.

Ive been looking at options on a fast road built xk engine, 8k will get a good strong engine built and probably get about 300 bhp, obviously standard xjr6 engines are 326bhp? and modern reliability. I know its not a straight forward swap and will require a bit of work, just weighing up the pro's and...

Evening all.
Im looking for preferbly a complete XJR6 engine inc ancilleries for a possible conversion into my series 2 XJ6, if anyone knows of one breaking then please give me a heads up, If a Getrag 265 or 290 is available too then this would be a bonus,

Regards Alan

I assume you have a 3.4 as all 4.2 series 3 were fuel injected.

They look good quality and polished too !!. It would be nice if they did them in a 7j and 16/17 inch...

No worries. Finding info on late series 2 fuel system seems to be harder than i thought..

Ok thanks for that. I shall take a look at that tomorrow.

Well ive had it on the ramp today to see if i can trace the switch over valve and it seems as if it doesnt have one? Ive traced the pipework from each tank and they run behind rear axle and join into a T piece that then runs to the front of the car. I assume where it is a late series 2 with in tank ...

Ah i did wonder if it may be somthing like that. Mine is a late series 2 car so has in tank pumps. i shall see if i can find the switch over valves.

Cheers

Good evening everyone, not sure if this is a strange fault or common but i seem to be loosing fuel from the right tank and it being added to the left tank. My jag is a late series 2 4.2.
Its been fine for a while but i noticed this the other day.
Any help would be apreciated.

My series 2 is suffering from the usual corrosion around front screen, its not bad or gone through but has surface corrosion under the paint, I know this can be treated to an extent but as with all rust it will eventually start to creep back. I'm having a proper look over the winter as it needs a ne...

I did have a look but had no luck finding it sadly.

Well I had a brief look again today and found that the solenoid was slightly loose, I tightened it and took for another run and hey presto it worked fine for about 4 miles and then it popped the fuse again.! Ive now removed the solenoid and checked it out, I left the plunger attached to the overdriv...

Hi Everyone, new to the club and forum. I have a 1978 xj series 2 4.2 manual with overdrive and recently it blew the overdrive/instrument fuse when I was driving back home. I did a basic wiring/switch check and I can get the overdrive solenoid to click when stationary with engine off in 4th but as s...

I am looking at purchasing a series 2 v12 saloon for spares for mine and recall it has a pair of these mirrors on it. Ill take a look over the weekend and see what condition they are in.
