I need some detailed good photos of the engine bay area for a 1989/91 V12 (Marelli) car. The vehicle has had a major overhaul and the routing of pipework and wiring is not as it should be in the engine bay.

I would appreciate high res digital photos for the year described covering:

Vacuum pipe routing (left and right of engine bay)
Harness routing for Cruise Control Bellows
Electric Fan wiring routing
Alternator wiring routing
Wiring routing around the throttle area

In fact all the engine bay pipe and electrical DETAIL if possible. It is the detail that is important to me including position of wire ties, non obvious labels etc.

I will do a photo session on this car when it is 'sorted' and my 4.0 1993 model to visually record the details - just in case other members need this. Sounds obvious but when you have had 2 or 3 outfits working on your car nothing is ever quite right - and 1 of those was Jaguar themselves!

Great job by Dave Marks - when the car came back from the specialists I had a problem with engine running at high RPM and was stumped - Dave took a minute to say check all the bolts were installed for the air cleaner housings - he was spot on - some technican had omitted to fit 2 of the 8 - causing the massive air leak and engine fast running. When all is assembled it is difficult to imagine that one - but Dave did!

I should have taken high res digital shots before the work started - but that was 6 years ago and digi cameras then did not have the resolution!!

Please mail only genuine responses me at my JEC recorded mailing address. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

I have a 1989 Marelli V12. I took the injection gear and inlet manifolds off to get at the leaky cam covers and I'm not convinced that I've put the vacuum plumbing back as nature intended!! So I'd be interested if you get any useful information. I'd be happy to send you photos of my car if any of the other areas of the engine bay are of interest - just post a reply
