Hi all. As regards reluctor rings I found a company on YouTube that makes and if you send him your cv joints he'll fit them. I think the video is spot on and a real insight into the process. to top it all it's a British company. The web sight is www.reluctorrings.com by Gavin moss.

Hi all. A quick update on my ABS fault. Yesterday I took the car to my local independent jaguar garage where he plugged in scanner. He was using a snap on device which no doubt cost a fortune as well as monthly subscriptions to keep it up to date. Anyway the diagnosis was that the rear drivers side ...

hi all. just an update. put the battery on charge after checking the voltage it was at 11.8v. charged it to 14.4v ABS light still on. I can't take it for a drive until Monday, that's when tax and insurance starts. can I expect the abs light to go off?. is it safe to drive?.

At first I thought it was the air suspension had failed and the tyres where rubbing on the wheel arc...

Hi all. Not posted for a while but been working on the my car quite a bit.

I realised it might be an idea to remove the wheel arch liner spotted the fasteners and removed them and that was as far as I could go. I g...
