Hello everyone, Can anyone advise on some good upgrades to the ignition system please? I've been told that Emerald ignition is the way to go? I've also seen the Mobeck upgrade during some online searching, which looks interesting. Distributorless...? Mine is a 1986 HE with Lucas. Any advice much app...

Hi Charles1471, I used KWE for some work to my XJS V12 about 18 months ago - a re-cored radiator, some hoses and a new header tank. The quality of their work is very good - I must point this out to begin with. I did have several issues with them however, including a very long turn around time for wh...

How do the wheels sit on your car? Do they look good? I would love a pic or two if you're able.

Hello everyone. I'm sure this question has been asked a hundred times... but I can't find a definitive answer! Do the 16in 8j lattice alloys found on XJ40 and X300 fit an XJS without spacers or modification? I have an '86 V12 with 15in lattice, but really want some 16s. The 6.5j (?) found on the Le ...
