I have just bought my first jag 1991 facelift XJS 4.0. Love the car but the first bill to put it right (mostly suspension & brakes ) £1500 including service. It is genuine in mint condition inside and out with FSH, but I guess the previous owner had not looked after it properly. Is this about par for the course? I would be pleased to hear of any similar experience.

I am on my third E-Type. First two were both 1964 coupes. Currently finishing a 5 1/2 year effort on a 1967 Series 1 (LUMPS)coupe. I believe the English coachwork design on the Series 1 E-Type is at the top of the list for beauty.

Having just replaced the first of my rear lamp assembly outer lens I offer the following info:-
a. Be careful when chipping away the outer lens as the bits are very sharp and travel a reasonable distance.
b. Long nose pliers used in a twisting action removes the remainder of the outer lens from the deep grove, final pieces being chipped away with screwdriver.
c. On reassembly place the coloured inner lenses on the inside of the new outer lens.
d. Run the adhesive into the groove in the reflector assembly and with the new outer still upside down lower lens assembly into groove and allow to dry.
P.s. Once again easy but as usual, not a 5 minute job.

If anyone has any insight into this car I'd love the advice. I'm wondering about what to do to it before I drive (new fluids, etc). Also does anyone have any suggestions about electrical upgrades. Thanks for any help I can get. It's a beautiful car and I want to take care of her as she deserves.

Just turned in my 2000 XJR sedan for a (ugh) 2001 Lincoln Town Car. I really miss the Jag but my wife would have no part of it. All is not lost, however, since I am deep into a project of building a replica of the XJ13, a real car that is, not a miniature. I would love to trade "war stories" with anyone out there who has done or is doing a similar project. I'm not sure this is the correct venue for such a search but given the popular notion that Jaguar enthusiasts are on the lunatic fringe, I thought I would give it a go.

I do not own a Jag (yet) but get occasionally a chance to take out a mint 1994 XJ 40 4.0S owned by my father. Driving it is really a treat! The car can only be described as graceful and charming. We reside some 200 kilometres south of the Polar Circle, so it could just be one of the northernmost Big Cats in Europe. Mainly due to icy roads winter use is best avoided but the May-October period with its white summer nights is just sheer fun. I am planning to buy a Mk3 XJ6 when the right car comes along. They are beautifully engineered and for the time being somewhat underrated. An E-type would also be extremely appealing (the early versions in particular) but they are a bit too dear for the time being. Enjoyable touring to all Jag fans !

Help!! I run a "nice" 89 sov and have just had a disaster, I heard a strange sound from my lh front wheel and a tug on the wheel. I stopped and got towed home, on investigation I discovered my outer bearing had destroyed itself, I cannot remove what is left of the bearing it looks like it has welded itself to the stub axle! Can the stub axle be removed?. I have all the manuals I can find and none seem to deal with this. I have access to a good machine shop Any info would be helpful (car looks sad on driveway) With Thanks Peter Haynes

We have 2 Jaguars. I drive the 1989 XJS convertible and the wife drives the 2000 4.0 S-Type. Although more fun to drive, the '89 does have it's problems.... primarily overheating. Suggestions? Has anyone ever tried a larger radiator, larger volume waterpump, larger fan, etc. Here in Texas, temps above 100 degrees farenheit are common in the summer and it rarely freezes in the winter. Jaguar seems to have overcome most problems with the later models. It's truly a pleasure to drive both!

I have just changed the front road springs on my 93 XJ6 using a tool I made myself, It took me 10 minutes to make and cost me £10.00. (The tool from Jaguar costs £273.00!!)It took one hour to fit the new springs, if any one is planning to change their springs, contact me for free drawing / instructions.

Just thought I'd look at the site as I'd spoken to Terry Dye earlier. Very good site and yes Terry I've printed out the form to send for my membership. Looking forward to meeting the guys who asked for my help and assistance at Bomanor Hall last year in Leicestershire and to seeing everyone at the Donington meeting [hopefully in an e-type?] One other quick question is what ever happened to the 2.4 Mk1 racers? I know Pat Callis put a 3.8 lump in his, but why doesn't someone build one as Pat's could keep up with most of the Mk2's in pre 65 days and Mr. Lloyd used to be able to do 59's round Mallory! Just thought I'd ask as the sound of a 2.4 reving to 8 grand and doing 140 mph at places like Silverstone or Snetterton was just brilliant. I'd do it but I can't get a racing licence cause of my disability.

I have an XJS convertible that has to sit outside all the year. I am not able to remove all the mildew from the hood despite repeated applications of the Jaguar hood cleaner product. I would like to remove all the mould before waterproofing the hood. Any suggestions ? Using a powerjet hose has been suggested but that seems a bit heavy handed.

I'm replacing the petrol tank in a MK II Donna and I brought back from Australia. The tank supplier says I should rinse out the tank with "white spirits" to remove the applied rust inhibitor. What would "white spirits" be here in Texas? By the way, where would I find a new brass plug for the tank? I can't get the one out of the old tank.

I am considering to purchase my favourite Jag and wonder, if such an idea would be appropriate. Thanks a lot! Happy motoring!

I just received a 1989 XJ6 Jaguar from a family member who owned it since '92. I drove it up here from Atlanta in 11 hours - what a wonderful machine! I have a lot to learn about Jags, especially this model (Many components have been replaced, to include the hydraulic suspension - it now has shocks). Best of all I found a mechanic who is also a Jag lover and will maintain it for me. I hope to learn more from your web site - Thanks.

I've created a new on-line club. It launches today and it's called "Fast Metal". It can be found at www.fastmetal.co.uk This club will attract owners of sports cars regardless of their manufacturer, and will be a focal point for general discussions. One of the main attractions of Fast Metal is that it does not claim a wealth of information. Instead, it points visitors and members to the best places on the net to find the information they need. Please support this club, and I am sure it will support you!
