Excellent, thank you Stewart.
If you could email your story, plus some pictures to me at X308@jecmodels.org.uk then I'll get that sorted.
Thanks once again,
David

Hi Stuart,

Happy to put a 'shout out' in the X-308 model section of the Magazine if you like? It would be nice to know the car's history for a future article.

Best regards,
David

What date did you have in mind as need to plan around work
Cheers

Same date as my orginal post... 1st October 2022.

I’m in, where's the rest of the X308 owners? Come on let’s celebrate this occasion in style! What better place than Jaguar Classic Works at Ryton. Thank you Doug. Yes indeed, I was wondering the same thing... where are you all ? This is a momentous anniversary of the launch of the X-308 and what a ...

Dear fellow XJ8 owners, In my role as your X-308 Model Section Coordinator I am in the initial stages of organising a formal get-together to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the launch of the X-308 to take place later this year. The plan is to line up as many X-308s as we can along the impressive f...

Welcome Viago, I'm sure you'll enjoy your newly found 'lord of the manor and king of the road' status. The rest of us certainly do :lol: Also, if you would like your XJ8 to feature in the X-308 section of the monthly magazine, by all means send your story to me at x308@jecmodels.org.uk By the way, t...

Ah, then events in Dorset would be too far away for you I'm guessing.

What part of the country are you in Rory?

Does anyone have a set of XK8 BBS Winter Wheels they would like to move on?

Most probably the transmission Linear Switch needs adjusting. If that doesn't work then you may have to replace it. Instructions on how to do this is in Section 8.1, Page 19 of the X-300 Workshop Manual. Available in PDF format. If you can't find one online, PM me and I'll send you a copy.

I only ever use ESSO Synergy Supreme+ 99 fuel in my Jags. 0% ethynol. Unfortunately it's not available in all parts of the UK. I have laid up the XJR for the winter with the tank filled to the brim.

Yes, delightful. What a shower!

BELATED UPDATE: Shortly after reporting the problem on here the car wouldn't start at all. Would crank for England but not fire. No pressure at fuel rail... dud primary pump me thinks. Had both fuel pumps changed by my local Indy expert and hey presto! Problem sorted. Many thanks for all your help a...

Looks an excellent professional job Doug. Have you sent a picture to Chips Away?

Thanks Mike, as you suggested it was indeed the battery. It would happily take a charge to 100% with no problem, but quickly drained away to 9.4 volts when turning on the ignition, i.e. with just the cooling fans running. Never seen that before. New battery... sorted!
