Tony (and everyone else), Would have liked to travel down for this and support the event but I have traced the 'bouncy rear end handling problem' (no rude comments Tony!) that manifested itself on the outing to KWE - its the rear shocks failing! I have bought replacements but not had time to fit the...

I have posted the pictures I took on the day into the forum gallery. You will find them as the most recent posting headed KWE visit.

Dear Tony, Our thanks to you (and Libby) for organising the day with KWE. Please pass thanks on to Chris, Teresa, Pete and Dave, their knowledge of our cars was excellent, much appreciated and will hopefully see many of them lasting for longer and in better condition. I have already started a KWE fu...

Checked XK8 dimensions against my XJS and they are too different to be interchangeable. It may be possible if anyone has contacts, to get some made up with a plastics moudling company but the cost would be prohibitive unless the order was for a lot, due to original moulding costs. Anyone got any oth...

Hi Bleasie, It's worrying that you think you are talking to yourself again! :lol: Have been busy these last few weeks being made redundant, otherwise would have sent you a reply suggesting that you check the clamps/joints on the exhaust system. Had the same fail point on my XJS facelift last year. I...

Guys,
Know its not strictly speaking specifically to do with the KWE trip, but it may interest you to know that they are currently breaking a '95 XJS 6.0 facelift, so if anyone wants parts from it, give them a call with your requirements and arrange to pick the parts up on the day!
Regards,
Ashley

Bleasie,
Great job you are doing with the register, don't think the cabs always get the recognition they deserve compared to the convertibles! Just a thought though, what are you going to do with your time when you have found them all?

Hi David,
Just checked out your photos in the gallery. Car looks even better with the new wheels.

Hi DH Dove,
In which case I had better confirm that there will be 2 of us as I suppose I really ought to bring my wife along as the 'Jags' are meant to be her cars.

Guys,
Having just found excessive corrosion present in my wheel arches/front wings, I would definitely buy a set of these! Something similar is already fitted to the XK8 we have as standard, I will check them out to see if they fit the XJS as well!

Guys, will endeavor to be there. XJS if it passes it's MOT, otherwise XK8.
Look forward to it!

Hi Jonathon, I have just done this, it's not a major job, takes about 30 minutes per cam cover. No special tools needed. You must make sure that you get both the cam cover gasket and the two spark plug surround gaskets (per cam cover). I paid around £22 for the three of them from my local Main Deale...

Hi Steve, Welcome to the forum! I had a similar issue but with an intermittent misfire (not an lpg car though) and took the car into my local Main Dealer who had agreed to hook the car up to their diagnostics FOC in the hope I would then give them the work. Turned out to be a coil fault so repaired ...

Welcome!
Fairly new member myself and have found the BB very useful with some minor teething problems.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the welcome, shame your's was the only one but hey, it's better than none! Am enjoying the XK8 (when my wife lets me drive it - she is using it everyday now). I have serviced it, replaced the cam cover gasket which was weeping and put a set of impellor alloys and new tyres on it....
