Hello Pete, I have had a similar problem with my XJ40 which was the rear brake disc cover catching on the disc and only occured when the car was turning. Did not happen in a straight line. Solution was to use a screwdriver to ease the cover away from the disc. I hope this is as simple for you as I w...

My car is back & the locks are free. WD & perseverance worked. Good luck with yours Kevin.

Hello Kevin, I have a '94 Daimler (XJ40) with similar problems. When you say locking is difficult, I am assuming you mean the mechanical action of turning the key in the lock rather than the remote action (by pressing a button on the key). Initially my driver's door lock became stiff then would not ...

I have had a similar problem on my '94 Daimler (XJ40). The problem was simply resolved by 'jiggling' the bonnet release lever and lubricating the under-bonnet catch. The problem occurs when the button at the end of the cable does not return fully to it's 'end' position. http://www.jec-xj-forum.org.u...

Hi Dennis, I have had the aircon on my 4.0L Daimler (XJ40) re-gassed a couple of times. I firstly enquired at a Jaguar main dealer who quoted £90! After a bit of searching, I found that Halfords sell an air conditioning charge for £39.15 & will recharge themselves for an extra tenner or so (the can ...

I now see your car Derek - instead of clicking on 'View the entire gallery' I clicked on 'XJ Gallery' where there are 6 photos of mine on the 2nd page and you are quite right, it is L423 RBT.
Much prefer your wheels to my 'Aero' ones!

Thanks Rob, This sounds sensible. I could never understand why the battery should be in the boot in the first place, although the engine bay is rather full, I am sure they could have squeezed it in somehow!! The auto electrician did find a 0.5 volt drain when I left the car overnight which, he said ...

Hello Derek, I find it strange that you can view only 2 images whereas I see 16! When I log on to the XJ Bulletin Board I click on the yellow highlighted 'XJ Gallery & Register', at the bottom of the next page I click on 'XJ Gallery' and then 'View All Gallery Entires' which brings up the first of t...

Thanks Rob, I have discovered there is another 'glitch' - in that something may be draining the (new) battery as I have, on one or two occasions, had to put it on a small charge in order for the car to start over the past few days. It occurs to me that this may be affecting the clock. In order to tr...

Thanks for your reply Rob. You are quite right-XJ40.
I have previously tried this to no avail. The books tell me to 'go around the clock' which also failed. I am getting used to ignoring the thing altogether, although it would be nice for it to work properly!

I wonder if anyone is able to solve an issue I have with the clock on my 1994 Daimler 6 since I changed the car's battery. Each time I switch off the ignition, it resets itself to a random time (often 1.00 am). I have tried the suggestions in the handbook to no avail (i.e. 'going round the clock') a...
