It is always worth checking with the Forum model co-ordinator of the club or the technical expert about well known problems with any vehicle. XKR's of this vintage are a great purchase but you need to check them out, if you cannot view the vehicle yourself then ask a member nearby or contact the clu...

Hello My first post as a X260 XF owner, would like your thoughts and opinions. Car came with one key, so now I would like to get a second one. After a tiresome and very frustrating visit to my local dealer, they say that they need to replace the KVM module, and obtain two new keys from JLR for the g...

Ha ha well done James

Hi

You don't seem to have had a reply - there is a lifetime membership that you can buy - call Graham or james at Bristol HQ and they will tell you all the details and the up to date price.

Hope you enjoyed the summer with your E

Don,t forget to take all the other stuff that the French say you have to have. Like breathalyser kits, bright yellow safety vests, warning triangles etc. And in Spain you must carry a spare pair of glasses in the car if you need them for driving.

There is also the opportunity to visit the JLR Classic Works on Saturday 30th June as part our the weekend at Wroxall, (though you don't have to be going to Wroxall at all!) - JLR are opening up for JEC members on the Saturday morning and the only requirement is that you ring JEC Bristol HQ to regis...

I assume you know tis already but just to answer the hotel at Wroxall sold out in a little over 4 hours from launch. Other hotels round a bout are also very full - but you may be lucky somewhere if you are prepared to go further afield.

Mike Thanks for that information I never realised the components were common that far back, so that's a clear reason why the price is much lower than I feared. I am ignoring David's successful attempt to lower the tone. Have opted for replacement arms this time around as I anticipate this particular...

So here's something I personally have not seen before. A video healthcheck carried out at my XJ's annual service and then emailed to me. https://video.citnow.com/vtPt37Mms8P It appears that after 65k miles (and 7 years ) the bushes in the front banana arms are splitting. So have done some research o...

I know this is fairly obvious but as I approach the 3 year ownership mark for my Xj351 I have taken on a new project in Manchester. This means a commute a couple of times a week up the infamous M6 13 - 19 - of which 18 miles is the roadworks being upgraded to Smart motorways. Add to that the usual c...

To answer Wayne's question, no the dinner is not Black Tie - but lounge suits and posh frocks for the ladies. Some members/regions will no doubt choose to come black tie because that is what they do its not compulsory....

Hope that helps

There is probably a youtube video somewhere of someone doing it and taking you through the steps, I have used the one for the X100. Disconnecting the electrics is the tricky bit as you won't want to set off the Airbags....

AJ6 Engineering will via their website sell you one of the most recognised ways to convert our stromberg carbs to injection, having looked at this many years ago it basically involves finding a donor XJS V12 engine and taking the relevant parts and substituting. So you then have to find the parts an...

I have now the snow has cleared fitted a set of Kumho Wintercrafts to my original spec 19 inch wheels. Only down a few miles but so far so good. They cost £125 per corner which I considered enough to give given they will only be on for 3-4 months every year, I fully expect them to outlast the car in...

Not heard of that before now - but as all the gibbons for the DAB radio is under the plastic cover in the middle of the upper rear window sounds like there is a fault or a short on one of the connections - under warranty still ? (is used ex Jag dealer?)
