Can any body tell me what the red warning light with a lightning flash on it is for, mine is on all the time. On my old XJ40 I think it was a fuse failure light (well it lit up when a fuse blew!) I have checked all the fuses and cleaned all the connections in the fuse boxes, but the light still come...

Lynx (other BO bashings sprays available!) will work as an emergency replacement for Easy Start, mind you the exaust gasses wiff like a T**ts Handbag for a few minutes afterwards, don't know how much harm it will do in the long run but as it only ever gets used on a works lorry who cares!!!

Just to add my "tuppence worth" I looked at getting laid up cover for a long term project (Nobel 200 Microcar) a few years back and found that SOME of the policies on offer don't actually cover very much at all. I cancelled a policy with one company after reading the terms, conditions and exclusions...

There is what looks like a breather hose from the air filter to the manifold in the same place but as there are no wires to it...

Thank you.
I will post photos when I have had a chance to clean her up a bit. I did manage to drive her around the yard yeasterday and a few other minor faults manifested themselves, still nothing that can't be sorted (stiff brakes, leaky rad and 2k rpm at idle) ho hum.

Hi there I have just aquired a rather sad looking 1987 3.6 manual as company for my xj40. She is dark blue with a pale brown interior and has been dormant for nearly four years. The old girl is almost rust free!!! I hope to have her on the road in a few weeks and then gradually tart her up as time a...
