Have you resolved your split caliper dust seal problem. If so please tell us how you did it. This is the second occasion recently that this topic has a arisen.

Hi All,
It's time for breakfast again, where does the time go.BB can you put your building project on hold for s short while. Look forward to seeing you folks tomorrow hope not everybody has work commitments. The weather looks as tough it may be kind for us

Regards Oldtimer

Sam, For what it's worth my 3litre V6 is only used for longer runs and would expect a return of 25/30mpg. I once did a very careful check going to my daughters house for the day 70miles each way mostly Motorway. It was good to see 99.9mpg when going down hill. The most boring trip ever . A full tank...

Hi,Doug, That was clever of you to put that link in. Thanks very much, I don't know how to do that. Any how earlier today I sat and read the article again myself. I have to say it was jolly hard going. Les, I cannot recall if your vehicle has the electric park brake or a good old fashion lever. I wo...

Hi Les, We last spoke at the Jaguar day in the new forest at Beauliegh while you were parked next to Mike K. I'm sorry to hear about your rear brake problem. I wrote an article on this subject for the magazine which was published in the Dec 2013 issue Vol29 No12. I'm sure one of our learned members ...

Alan.
Did you manage to find my post ref Mk 2 overdrive and have a read. that will help me not having to repeat myself.

Alan,
I have recently responded to an overdrive problem on a Mk 2 please try and find it and have a read.

My initial thinking is that it may just be solenoid adjustment required.

Do come back I'm sure we can work through this

Nick, You lucky son of a gun, sadly my days of motoring around Europe are over I think. It was probably back in the mid eighties that we used to tour France in my XJ12. What a fabulous improvement in the road network in the subsequent years. We got down to Barcelona one year, despite a careful recor...

Hi Dan, I backed the S out of the garage today. I laid down beside the car with a mirror and torch to try and see the Gear box drain plug. Sorry no luck there. Moving everything around to put the S on the lift would have been to much faffing about. There are three under panels. One beneath the engin...

Dan, I have had to attend an appointment today but don't give up I shall be back. Mean while I am interested to know what facilities you have available to gain access to do this job. Do you have a pit or lift. Have you read the drivers handbook with regard jacking points and safety requirements. Fin...

Sorry for the confusion, Unfortunately when I pressed the submit button the sequence moved around. If you simply write out those numbers on a sheet of paper ensuring that 13 is above 14 and at one end and 11 is above 12 at the other and that 1 is above 2 at the centre then you have it. 11 is on the ...

Dan, You don't say what year model your vehicle is which would help. As for quantity of oil. Hopefully your gear box will have both a drain plug and a bung in the side to allow you to replenish My 03 YM S type with Gtrag manual gearbox has both a drain and filler plug. Normal practice is to drain th...

Very interesting thread,
I think I shall side this one.
Oh, Very sorry Officer but I didn't want to be late for breakfast!

Hi Robbie, I agree entirely with David and Mike above and have nothing to add. You are fortunate to have a nice dry garage in which to keep it. Perhaps the winter months is the time to do one or two of those jobs we promised ourselves to do. Early in the new year we occasionally get those high press...

Hey Mike ,now there is a thought, might even cost less to run ! You really shouldn't put those ideas into my head.

PS do you happen to know any
