I'm sure my lights used to come on when removing key, now they don't come on until i open the door.

Thanks Jeff, nice to know i'm not on my own your symptons are exactly like mine. If i use heavier throttle to drive around it i'd soon be going way to fast in a 30mph. Had latest software update so maybe another oil change could be the cure.

Cheers for now.

Thanks for the reply Mike, surprise surprise slippage happened again this morning on my way to work and again when coming home, it happens the once and then all is normally fine after.

Hi, Recently first thing in the morning when car is stone cold when it changes from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th the revs rise as it changes just as though you are keeping your foot on the throttle while changing up in a manual car.

That must be one of the nicest XJ40's still going, very nice

Hi Alan, Welcome aboard, you didn't waste much time getting on line and posting pictures in the vehicle register. Car looks to be in superb condition especially inside.

This is to protect the compressor for some reason, but thats as much as i know. Perhaps your pollen filter has moisture in it othe...

Remember it like it was yesterday, brilliant
