Thanks Paul. Personally I'd rather have the glove box as a) it's handy for storage (obvs!), b) the airbag probably doesn't work now and c) the airbag set up looks poor anyway as it looks like a sealed up glove box with the knob removed - aesthetically it's quite poor and is clearly shoehorned into a...

Just scouring eBay as you do and a thought I've had before came back to me re glove boxes. I had one in my 91 facelift, but of course they were dropped in the later models for the airbag. Has anyone ever retrofitted the facelift glivebox into a later model? Ignoring the wood matching up, is this pos...

Ooh, I'd love to get my hands on the switch bezel and the cigarette lighter one, but obvs they need to be for a 95 facelift and depending on how extortionate they are . I'll PM you BB...thanks.

20191217_143604.jpg A really small change, but when you compare old and new it looks so much better. Whilst I took Paul's advice to lift the ski slope and get to the black plastic fascia from behind, 24 year old plastic is quite brittle and I have lost a bit, so it's a tiny bit spongy now and the m...

Thanks Paul - I'll have a look.

Bit of a numpty question, but I've just ordered a couple of replacement window buttons (DAC7526 & DAC7527) for the ski slope as the existing ones have faded and just wanted to ask if there's a simple way of getting the buttons out without damaging the wood? Do they just ping out with a bit of wedged...

Any update on this Spen?

If you've done anything, hope you've gone for a pre-HE...they are rarer and cooler

I was searching for a stream for a friendly footie game today; I failed, but weirdly found this link to a video re the FA Cup from earlier in the year:

Welcome Matt and congrats on your purchase. I also bought a Celebration from Clarkes circa 11 years ago - and it's still going!! What you get from Clarkes isn't necessarily a 100% perfect car, but it is a really good car that you can have confidence in and can expect a very solid base; it's deffo no...

Sorry, just seen this - wow Cuneyt, that is a horrendous experience and clearly is ongoing. This does raise the question of how liable a manufacturer is when they follow a trial and error course at your expense; it's worrying that this dealer appears to not be interested in their reputation with suc...

I have a 2.2 2013 XF and recently went into limp home mode. Green flag plugged the car in and advised that it was an EGR issue. Took it into my garage (who irritatingly, but maybe understandably, ran another diagnostics for £60 + VAT) and confirmed the issue. Apparently the EGR valve had failed and ...

I've found the US shows to be quite good - I like the ones mentioned and the FantomWorks one, where the owners sink an amazing/obscene amount of money into their cars... Poor old Tim Shaw...his ears must be burning...I can cope with Mr Shaw and the backstory bits, but it's the constant re-capping th...

Yes, I used to abhor the pre-HEs, but have come to appreciate them as being the 'coolest' of all the XJS variants in the context of 1970s cars. Having said that, I wouldn't swap one for mine as I also love the looks, reliability and chrome (!) of the facelift models. At the risk of offending 80% of ...

I thought it looked a lot better without the bodykit and 2 colour body, whether it was commercially sensible to do all the work it entailed or not. The end product looked much more asthetically pleasing IMHO. I do find Drew P doesn't come across well on the TV...he may be a nice bloke, but he comes ...
