My sincere apologies if this contravenes any JEC rules but I have to part with my lovely XJS so have advertised it on ebay with a reserve of £4,500 - item number 260105897831. I'd love her to go to a good home so if any of you XJS lovers want to pip the bidder at the post, the auction ends this week...

Thanks guys it's actually as ptjs1 describes it - the trailing edge of the scuttle panel is badly corroded so the screen is going to have to come out to effect the repair

I have got bubbling paintwork at the bottom of my offside A-pillar and water is now leaking into my footwell - I gather this is a common problem. I don't have the skill or resource to do this job myself as I think it's too far gone for a filler job. One garage has told me they can cut a section out ...

I think I found it - on sale at a Renault dealership - what you think?

sorry if it's yours!

I need to replace my tyres (95 4.0 Coupe) and have been recommended Millenium Star tyres made by Cooper Avon. Very tempted at £81 per corner, fitted. Can anyone recommend these tyres? they seem too cheap to be any good Should I stick with Pirellis?

sorted now thanks to a great service from Grublogger

I've always had good service from an independant called West Riding Jaguar in Mirfield if you don't consider that too far from Hull. Their number is 01924 494411

The seat adjustment switches on my 95 4.0 coupe (drivers side) pushed in and stopped working. I took the door card off to find that the plastic case which holds the switches has completely disintegrated. It seems the plastic has aged hardened and gone brittle. The microswithes mounted on a PCB still...

mmm now that's given me a lot to think about. My battery has run flat in the past few weeks because the boot wasn't shut properly (the misses). My central locking has stopped working and sounds like a sticking solenoid as my battery is also running flat again. Guess I can hold off replacing the batt...

wow - bloody superb

why would anyone bother to watch F1 when you can enjoy proper racing like this instead?

sorry i beg to differ - I think twins are really ugly compared to the originals - beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course

replaced the plugs and she's now purring again

If ever you see me near my engine with a hose, shoot me. Found 3 of the spark plug chambers full of water which was obviously earthing the charge away from the plugs. Dried it all out and its made a masive improvement though she's still missing on one. Will revisit it tonight.

thanks for your help guys - have ordered from JDHT

Can anyone recommend a workshop manual that covers the 95 4.0 coupe? I bought one on ebay on CD which looks pretty good for service schedules and circuit diagrams but I am looking for idiot-proof step by step pictorial guides like the old faithful Haynes workshop manuals. Been to the Haynes site and...
