Re: Seat belt problem
Thanks, chaps, and apologies for not noticing that you'd replied. I've started using Prestige Jaguar in Airdrie so I'll get them to look at it for me.

Seat belt problem
My passenger seat-belt is acting up a bit: it pulls out ok and settles back to a comfortable tension but over the course of a journey, not necessarily a very long one, it will gradually tighten but not release as it should. Result - the gradual strangulation of my wife. Any ideas? Other than getting...

Re: Extracting aerial mast on 1996 4.0L?
A bit of an old thread, but a common problem. I've just sorted mine, and thought I'd pass on the knowledge I've gained. My aerial didn't go up or down automatically, although I could hear the motor working; I could extend or retract it by hand, though. I bought a new, correct, mast, undid the retain...

Re: Facelift noisy blower
Yes, I realise there are two blowers, but couldn't be bothered to go back and change what I'd written! Mine's a '95 4L coupe, not a celebration. The whole ventilation system seems pretty weird, really, as everyone knows. For instance, if you press the "manual" button, what exactly is it that you can...

Noisy blower
How loud should the blower be? Mine is pretty noisy, much louder than the engine, making a rough mechanical noise as well as rushing air. Also doesn't work on speed setting 1. I'd like to do something about it, but it sounds like a nightmare of complexity in that system!

Re: Selector stuck in Park
Thanks, chaps. To be honest, although the brakes are fine, and got through the MOT ok, they would benefit from a bit of an upgrade. I was thinking of new discs and green stuff pads, next winter perhaps. What do you think? I wondered if some kind of wind-up, like with a 4x4 transfer box, might have a...

Re: Selector stuck in Park
Some time later now, but this is how it panned out - I had a guddle about under the bonnet but couldn't see anything of note, so took the car for another run to collect my son from the train (the stuck-in-park problem habitually disappeared once the car was parked and cooled down). During the journe...

Selector stuck in Park
I've just had my 95 4litre in for a re-core and a replacement/repair to the gearbox mounting. I took the car out for a test run this afternoon, and with each park and re-start it became more difficult to get out of "P". Now he's parked in the barn where he normally lives, and I can't get out of "P" ...

Hello!
Hi, new member here, from Dumfries, proud owner of a 4 litre coupe, auto, 123000 miles, bought about a month ago, and I'm loving it! She needs some work on certain things, but nothing too major, as far as I can tell. Brake discs and pads, head-liner, some bulbs, maybe a water pump, definitely a radi...
