Agree, he should have sold it privately plus he converted it to a manual - the parts alone for this are £2k+. It amazes me how most punters don't want a manual - they are rare and for me bring the car alive when you drive it.

I think was a bargain - as they say in Banger's and Cash - find another

Hi Tel. Could you share a list of what you have - happy to relieve you of some if they are what I need for my facelift.

I have same issue and purchased a 2nd hand set which are a little better but not much. You are correct some parts are becoming rare - rear lights is another example - if you can get them second hand they are a fortune! Re the doors, I purchased a second hand set for spares to find the window cheater...

i had to pull mine out and clean them up as locks had become difficult to operate and one of the lock solenoids had given up the ghost. I think is one of the most fiddly jobs you may possibly encounter on the XJS, so will take lots of patience and there will be some choices words said I am sure!

I cannot see which model you have - mine is a 95 facelift and I lost my under tray on A11. I made up a replacement out of aluminium - in my case it looks to add considerable strength to the spoiler/bumper. Without it, the large plastic bumper ia flimsy and I suspect would be easily damaged if you hi...

Just signed up. This is a 1st for me so looking forward to it. Are you able to say how many tickets sold?

I used this guy who runs a company that specialises in welding cast iron amongst other things: Peter Palmer <pp@ciws.co.uk>

Peter is a great guy, really knowledgeable and he will happily give you a tour of his factory!

Based in Leicestershire.

Have great respect for Chris Harris but agree he probably overpaid for this car. However, I too think is good news as £9K for him will be small change. All in is not a bad car, so yes, let's hope more of the wealthy start buying XJSs as the values can go one way and bring the price up!

Thanks from me too.

Thanks chaps - I hope it can be put back to where it was as this is valuable source I use to check parts.

I may be going mad but has the site changed? https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/

Used to select Jaguar and then XJS and then could select either pre facelift and facelift. Now option is 'Older Vehicle Information' but I cannot see the facelift model there.

I like it! I am seeing some Datsun Z car influence??

Thanks for sharing this - is really good to learn about issues owners have had and how they have been resolved.

This on eBay - I guess you don't see one of these vey often; would have thought if you have the older Delanair system this has to be excellent VFM? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225864258276?hash=item34968f12e4:g:GyQAAOSw4SdlTQiz&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwACLaJEj8t2BbLvH83BcaXaAdgqO6P4MXzym0lGjwVXnyHgNh7Jw...

I have a pair of what I think may be original growler covers. The fog lights are corroded so was looking at how to refurbish them - was thinking of using fibreglass and then painting them all black . Time has passed and I now think I will fit modern LED lights to the recesses in the front spoiler fo...
