I'll have abetter look for cuts on the pipes, btw, I always clean them but every 2-3 days the moisture is there.
I'll manage to take a picture of this.

Hi all again, have you ever experienced moisture on the brake reservoir pipings? I am pretty sure the piping have been replaced by the previous owner but I am not sure about their quality... I am experienceing a sort of mixture of small water drops but at touch seem a little oily too. Maybe a cause ...

Yes, you're right.

I may remove the picture...actually that was an extra safety, there are also proper stands holding the car in the proper holding positions.

I'll remove it from the thread.

Hi, this is Valter from Italy Rome, I am experiencing a very similar problem. I found it difficult to shift 2 and 4th gear, it seems that the lever is almost touching something toward the driver and cannot go toward behind any more to let the gear go in...can you understand me? I also noticed the le...

Hi all,

Oh! OK, thanks for reply, I suspected it was something like that because I could'nt find a way of doing it from the message page. BTW, I kept my XJS laying for 3 months in my garage after I had a big issue with rear brakes, now the car is back to street but I think small animals like the taste of ca...

Hi there, incredible! I had a friend that had to trow away a Mercedes for a similar issue but in his case it was almost impossible to cure the problem...

Hello, many thanks for reply: I'll check that tube out, nevertheless, I have oil coming out from the rear caliper on the passenger side, not from the lines but from the caliper itself. I hope is just a seal problem, I'll see this tube line when I will have access to the caliper. It all started with ...

Hi, I replaced the hand brake shoes some months ago and that was hard but I worked it out, I will use that experience to first put the car on supports and detach all the fixings as you described, including main transmission shaft, these are all much more reachable then the Brakes calipers, then I'll...

Hi there, and many thanks for reply: Yesterday I tried locating the bolts for the removal of the calipers but...they are really well hidden, I don't have a safe way to work under the car so I think I'll go for the complete IRS removal and overhaul of the rear breaking system together with a general ...

Now the car is home and I am in the process of removing the calipers and see what happened...The conduct may be the problem. I had replaced the fluid a few we...
