Many thanks, Mike, most helpful. I didn't know about that business, may be useful fr my own cars!

Hello everyone, my friend has just suffered MOT failure of his 1999 S Type due to "corroded rear subframe" and has asked me for help. I see several on line sellers offering replacements but can they be trusted? He's had the car since new and would really like to keep in going. I'd be grateful for an...

Wonderful! Thanks again, Paul. A resource a had not previously been aware of.
Information all now ready for when conditions are suitable for working on the car
Cheers, Ian

Thank you again,Paul. Your version of the workshop manual is different to mine and shows those ground points that I don't have.

I found the colour chart using my tablet and took that to the car, settling on Sable (AEK) which looks OK and had been reinforce...

Trim code on the A post label is ADX followed by CW (which I understand might be the month/year of manufacture (I know my car is March 2004). ADX...

Thank you to you all for helpful comments. I'm not surprised at the "facelift shortage" posted by almcl, it bears out what I've experienced so far! David Mannners catalogue is worth a try though and the Newark "first Sunday" jumble sale is useful to know about - we're moving to the area so it will b...

Hi all XJS enthusiasts! My 1993 convertible is missing several fasteners in the boot - the turn studs that fix the battery/hood pump cover and the push "screws" that hold the "carpet" trim on the underside of the boot lid. I would be grateful for any information on where to buy replacements, please....
