Thank you Mike and Doug - most helpful. Looks as though I'm going to "have to be" as patient - probably not the word!!!! - with the XK8 as the XJ-S albeit they are both lovely cars and I'm already enjoying and driving the former as I've had it for years. Passed 100% the UK MOT last month and French ...

Been a member for quite a few years in France with a 1990 XJ-S but have also just bought a 1998 silver XK8 convertable 60,000 miles. Trouble-free from UK at about 32MPG. Quite different to the XJ-S. Have found the following niggles which someone may like to comment:- Difficult to open and close car ...

very good idea but I only need one tyre

Thanks anyway

Any ideas where I can get a good USED Pirelli 600 - 235 60 R15 98V OR W,

Not very good at keeping up to date but I understand that the XJS Club became part of JEC some time ago.

However, does the old Club still function under JEC or just faded away?

Hi Brian

Thank you - their website looks "just the job" - I'll have a go and let you know the result.

3.6 1990 XJS COUPE

I would like to replace my injectors. However at around £50 each this becomes rather expensive.

Can anyone advise a cheaper method for example a company that services injectors (exchange perhaps).

thanks

3.6 Coupe Auto 1990

Hi Paul

You mentioned Besoncon trip above in November but apologies just realised that I have not answered you.

Contacted Organisers but they wanted same price for 4 days (half trip) joining in Besoncon as for a full trip so backed off. Pity.

Boots

1990 XJS 3.6 COUPE Completed overhauling front calipers and now onto bleeding. I have changed the front flexible hoses, nothing else, therefore reservoir is almost empty. Since Cat has ABS the Jag manual appears to state that front and back brake systems are independent from each other and therefore...

Hi Paul XJS 3.6 COUPE 1990 AUTO Overhauled front calipers and fitted new flexible hoses plus repaired all four wheel arches, on the cheap with fillers and spray paint. The latter looks good. Question - now about to bleed front brakes. Brake fluid obviously leaked out and reservoir almost empty. My 1...

Hi Paul

The foot pump worked a treat albeit at 9 BAR and after, eventually, knocking (bashing rather) the siezed piston inwards to break the rust seal.

I'll now have a go at the other side.

Thanks again,

Boots

That's a very sound method - thanks
