Hi Guys, I never did close this out so by way of an update I thought I would add a few points, The leak was minor but from the expansion vessel, it seems failure of these is not unusual so I had mine replaced. I took the car to Ray at Surrey Jags, seems there were one or two issues with the undersid...

...as I understand it is that they dont do the disc for a mac and guess what I have... They don't do one for Linux either, but that's what I use. The DVD on the JH website is a later version than mine (that covered all facelift XJS models, V12 and straight 6), so before you lash out cash, see if yo...

IIRC, You'll be missing the ABS brakes and the Marelli ignition system.

I presume you're aware of the Jaguar Heritage DVD.

Hi Paul,
Yes thanks, problem as I understand it is that they dont do the disc for a mac and guess what I have...

I'm guessing a large blade screw driver as a lever might help. I wi...

I really would like to help, but I don't have any idea about what part you are describing. :shock: Hi thanks, Yes I was struggling.....to elaborate, its t5he small plastic (black) triangle part behind the door mirror as you look at the car, I need to add that I have a convertible as I am not sure i...

has anyone tried swapping out the front window bezels on a pre facelift convertible. I have removed the screws internally but don't seem able to bake it loose?
Cheers

Does anyone know if these are still made ?.

Hi all, If its not too much of a liberty to ask could someone who has a manual take a snapshot of the section that covers removal of these as I dont seem able to get to one pair of the screws that hold this in place. At first glance it looks simple but..... Help sincerely appreciated, roy There's n...
