I posted in Air Con re taking my dash out to sort out the vents not working and my air con plus I was going to recolor the dash green to match my leather. Well as usual it turned out to be a big job it didn't help that the 2nd hand dash i bought off eBay to paint was different to mine when I got it ...

When I set about my 3,6 restoration I had a go at upgrading the stereo. I put an amp under the passenger seat and a new bluetooth head unit. http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/Toehold1/resized_IMG_0127.jpg The sound as expected was awful as the car still had the original speakers so after look...

I had my air con regassed and bought a new rad but still not working properly plus the centre fresh air vents don't open so I have decided to take the dash out to investigate, with that in mind I have bought a 2nd hand dash and had it colour matched green to go with the leather.

I decided to buy a pair of mid silencer by pass pipes from AJ6 for my 3.6 they were a little bit tricky to fit but I am pleased with them they are well made and definitely sound better (no droning) just a bit fruitier def befitting the car. http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/Toehold1/resized_2...

I have now just about finished my 1990 XJS 3.6 Sport that I bought about 12 months ago for £550 off eBay. I did not want a V12 I prefer the overall driving experience of the smaller engine car especially the handling. It had some tax and a few months MOT I bought it without seeing it which is typica...

About 5 years ago I bought a restored Mark 2 3.4 but it turned out it was not actually "restored"! After many problems I decided to get somebody to have a look at the engine and the wiring and found out that a guy only 2 miles from me restores e types for a living so I took the car there. Initially ...
