Not wishing to take the lords name in vain, so i won't. I opened the garage today and lo and behold one large puddle of power steering fluid greeted me. Checked the oil level in the PAS pot and i didn't even need to do that because it was as dry as a bone. Going to get back on the blower again tomor...

Yes just looking at the parts manual now and all it seems to do is list the colours and nothing specific for my VIN 168610. I think that by looking at the ones on the wing these are original with the light grey and red. Is the light grey know as quiksilver or pewter, there doesn't appear to be an ex...

Hello there, i've just noticed that on my beast i have a set of light silver over red on the front wings but along the rest of the body i have a dark grey (pewter?) over red stripe. The car has been resprayed at somepoint under the coachlines on the entire car. So my question is how do i check which...

After 8 months of reporting my initial problem i finally got my car back last friday. Yes 8 months on i now have my baby back, i'm not going to go on about customer service etc etc. I'm just glad to have it back, so now finally i can get started on all the little bits and pieces i was going to get o...

I have put a request in to JDHT for new hinge pins. They are currently looking into it for me. However i don't hold out too much hope for this. I shall await the conclusion first but as our cars increase with age so does wear and tear. I work in the jewellery quarter and there are a lot of machinist...

Update 6 months on and still no jag.......... :( Just looking for advice now. I'll have a re cap if you like. I bought the XJS in october 2008, it had nearly 8 months of MOT left on it, Now because they have had it so long the MOT has expired. So i get them to do the MOT as well, they do a pre MOT a...

Yes however the garage still have it and it's not easy for me to get over there. I miss my Coventry Rust Bucket!

Hello all once again. This is starting to turn into a bit of a saga now. I posted this problem on Jan 17th. Now it's June the garage still has my car! Gaaaaah! The initial work was done in a couple of weeks, however i wasn't able to collect the car for a few weeks because my work takes me away a lot...

Hi all Just phoned SNG Barratt today to see how much a service kit for my XJS would be. They told me that any parts ordered from tomorrow will recieve 10% off if pre ordered to be picked up from the show. Hope this snippet ofinfo helps as it may not be common knowledge. Now all i need is to get read...

Hello All I have a big gaping hole in my arm rest, where once proudly sat an in car mobile phone. This has long been thrown away by a previous owner no doubt as he/she strived to have latest technology in his/her cat. Have any of you people out there in xjs land still got your original phones in teh...

All sold now.

Ha ha i know i know, just seemed like a great idea at the time. Ah well i'll put them on my shopping list, which seems to be growing. Lol

Good morning all! I've just seen advertised on ebay a front lower corner panel made out of fibreglass. Shame he is only selling the offside, however has anyone seen these for sale from new. Such a fantastic idea, just think no more rot in this highly vunerable place. If anyone knows of a manufacture...

Good news people. Having taken my tank around to classic motor cars in bridgnorth, split low pressure hose diagnosed. New one being fitted as we speak, so i will e back on the road again fairly quickly. The other good news is that the "grounding out" of my car wasn't to blame, just age. It goes to s...

Hi Almcl Once again many thanks for the number for ACJ mobile repairs, he came he never replied. I had to work and left the keys with my other half for him to come and have a look. He turned up and then my g/f had to go to work leaving him under the car. I've not heard from him since and that was ab...
