Hi, recently bought a 1968 240 with a BorgWarner 35 Auto transmission and a leaking seal. After replacing the seal the gearbox failed to change up, this we diagnosed to a problem with the kickdown cable failing to return. We run the car without the cable connected and it changed through all gears, b...

Has anyone got any experience of replacing the the headling?
The backing foam has perished and the lining dropped. I have removed the lining and the remains of the old glue/foam, however wondered what to use to reseal the fibre glass backing former before I attempt to recover?

Regards,

I did fit the "Hayward & Scott" system, including thier SS 6 branch manifold. Very pleased with the product, the quality/fit is excellent. I did have to modify the silencer bracket slightly. I too was disapointed by the noise, completely different sound (louder), as much to do with the manifold as t...

Thanks for your input, I decided to fit a new oil pump as good measure. This has made some difference especially when cold, I would estimate I get up to 40 PSI in around 15-20 seconds. When running at 1500 revs I now also get 60 PSI (off the gauge in fact) hot or cold and a good 40 PSI on idle. Rega...

Hi Thanks for your reply. I have static belts already installed, therefore the high level fixing through the veneer is already there. My questions refers only to the low level fixing for the inertia reel, where the bracket is fixed through the vinyl lower panel on the b post and the side of the inne...

Hi, I have a pair of Britax inertia seat belts that I'm thinking of fitting in the front of my 340. Does any one know if the bolt holes are already in place at the B post and the inner cille so that the inertial reel bracket can be attached? Thanks,

Hi, I noticed that the oil pressure on my 340 was slow to biuld up and would drop or wave about occassionally on start up. I have replaced the oil, filter and the relief valve along with the oil pressure sender. However, I still feel the pressure is slow to biuld up when starting - maybe 15-30 secon...

Hi, can anyone tell me the correct torque setting I should use when tightening the ABS Rotor nut after replacing the front wheel bearings?
This is for an early 1998 XJ8, in case there is a difference to the later ones which use a different bearing. Regards,

Yes I had exactly this problem on my 1990 XJS. The problem was found to be water entering the car through a rust hole under the rubber seal around the rear side window.

I have recently been conemplating the same, however, "Hayward & Scott" was reccommended to be best of all. They are somewhat more expensive however, the quality is better (I'm told). I visited their site and was taken around the workshop - products look very good. These guys also supply a well known...

Hi, I purchased a TOMTOM One XL for my Wife as a Christmas present, initially the device seemed to work well in my 1998 XJ8 Soveriegn. However, since May when the device become unreliable, in fact unusable in the XJ I have been having discussions with TOMTOM regarding their product. After much heate...
