Thanks Mike,
I'll look for a back-issue.

Hi, I am looking for a chrome trim set (2 pieces) that fit vertically on the side of the black coloured console trim which is used to house the radio / heating unit. It is trim that is only used on the Daimler XJ Series 1 and the Jaguar V12 models. Can anyone advise who to contact to get hold of the...

Thanks Mike & Richard for your thoughts.

Will keep the forum updated on my eventual solution.

Hi, Looking for some advice please regarding the options on finding a replacement to the original headliner (card) board on my LWB S1/S2. My car no longer has the original headliner board. The ideal solution would be to source a used headliner board that is still re-usable, but given that'll be like...

Hi Robbie, I think Mike described it well. GWautos do gearbox conversions for XJ6s and XJ12s but they are not cheap solutions. Given what you are looking for I would be sorely tempted to keep the 3.31 diff, keep the original autobox, and replace it with a Jaguar Salisbury 4 speed with O/D or a Treme...

By coincidence, I did contact GW autos recently however the quote was approx 10K GBP which is close to what the car is currently worth. In that respect, probably not the most sensible/...

Hi Mike, I saw your post from a few years back regarding changing your 3 speed auto to a 4 speed auto. Did you actually go through with this idea, and if so can you advise on the end results and your conclusions. I have a similar dilemma. Thanks.

Thanks Mike for sharing your experience, appreciated. I'll stick to the current 3.31 diff for as long as possible. It's not that bad and only I really notice it. I wouldn't want to swap out the gearbox as to be frank it would be more cost and effort than the car's worth. With the current diff ratio ...

Hi, I have a series 1 V12 LWB Daimler with the BW-12 3 speed automatic gearbox. I am considering to swap the differential from its current 3.31 ratio to a 2.88 ratio as used on the later series 3 V12s. I figure it will drop the revs by about 500 rpm at cruising speed to about 2500 rpm. What are your...
