Jez,

I used a torx bit on a wobble bar and ratchet drive. With seat all the way forward, there is just enough access

I've rerplaced the seal on the Sanden compressor from a 93 4 litre, getting the compressor out of the car was easy enough, helps to be able to work under the car . The two round things you mention are the mechanical seal, and it is easier to remove and refit with the special tools, (available from a...

Begs the question, when was the last time that the oil level was checked? You have to expect some loss in oil, especially in an engine that is now 15yrs old. Regarding the Oil Pressure, the gauge itself is pretty reliable, the sender unit is usually at fault. If you can find one, fit the old style w...

Dave, Take a look at this web page, it may show the answer. http://jaguar.professional.org/coolant_leak/WaterPump-Parts.php At a guess, the steel flat edge of the viton seal would go against the mechanical seal If not, try an email to Sean directly, he's a nice guy and has always answered my questio...

Facelift model headlamps held in place with 4 or 5 Torx head bolts. Once you have removed the chrome trim, you'll be able to see the bolts with the aid of a torch. Not sure about removing the headlamp glass from the reflector. never tried it. Jaguar are now producing replacement headlamp units, but ...

You could try adding an extra earth cable to the instrument cluster circuit board, that has been known to improve things

With regard to oil pressure problems, the usual suspect is the oil pressure sender mounted on the LH side of the engine block. The early type (which I prefer) is a pressure sender proper. Later, Jaguar introduced a sender which through some electronic trickery, would cause the gauge to read at 50%, ...

I had this problem over a 2 year period, tried all sorts of remedies, replaced the lambda sensor, removed and cleaned the purge valve, cleaned the injectors, fault remained intermitantly. Then, one day while checking the wiring loom (the one strapped to the fuel rail, as this has been reported as a ...

Hi Mike, thats about it, there are two plugs, obviously the one on the bottom is the drain, and the one tucked away at the rear of the casing is the filler plug. It should be 1.6 litres from empty to full, with the car on a level surface, when oil starts to leak out of the filler hole, then your the...

According to the parts manual, 318Mhz system was for USA market, 418Mhz was for UK

Paul/Kevin, My car is pre 93.5, date of first registration is April 1993, and is not a 2+2. VIN is 185577. The back up battery for the security system is located in the boot, behind the trim for the right hand rear light cluster, just behind the aerial housing. Its not easy to spot, but if your car ...

On my 1993 XJS, the remote fob is programmed in the following way 1. Record radio security code (if so equipped). 2. Disconnect negative battery terminal/cable. 3. Reconnect negative battery terminal/cable; "beeping" should be heard. 4. Press each transmitter so a total of 5 confirmations are heard....

Possibly one on each rear hub, under the fulcrum pivot

The connector to the gearbox is close to the gear box sump, sorry, but I cannot remember which side, and I only checked it about 4 weeks ago, but once your under the car, you'll spot it. The connector is the type which has a round collar, you need to turn the collar and then pull the connector clear...

The bulb failure light will come on when the hand brake is applied and the brake pedal is pressed. I do not think it monitors the instrument warning lamps. Changing the bulb is pretty easy. If I remember right, the procedure is this: Remove the two phillips head screws (one each side of the cluster ...
