I would like to replace the fuel injectors (or pumps) of my xj6 4.2 '83. According my mechanic, I have to spend at least $130 for each pump plus labor for a total of $1000+.

Is there someone out there who can give ideas on how to change these fuel pumps of injectors?

I am considering the purchase of a model 2000 XJR with relatively low mileage at 45,000 kilometers. The car seems to have been well cared for by the local Jaguar dealers. Could anyone give me any tips on what to look for. If so, I would greatly appreciate it.

Unfortunately, working overseas at the moment. Won't be able to savour the delights of my Series III Sovereign. Thanks to all those who ran the Woodbridge speed trial. Had a great day out and it didn't rain!!! Didn't go down the runway myself as it was the first run out in about 18 months for my car. Enjoyed watching everyone else tho'. Take care, Malcolm. P.s. I hope I win the XJS in the draw! (Please!!!)

I own a 1998 XJ8--beautiful car!! I am having an on going problem and wonder if any '98 XJ8 owners have encountered the same. The first yr. I had the car I was driving on an interstate about 70mph when the car just died--push the gas pedal and nothing there. It started right back up and the service staff at my local Jaguar dealer told me it was a throttle problem. This same problem has occured two more times--the last being this week when I was nearly run over by a freightliner that was following me when the car again just died. My car has 70,000 miles on it and I was getting ready to trade it for a new XJ8 but have now lost all sense of safety and security. Has any other '98 XJ8 owner experienced these problems? The car has had regular maintenace with the local dealer and this has been the major problem---do I just have an unusual Jag or is this a problem others are having?

If anyone is currently looking for any jaguars then I must recommend Wyn Thomas of Essex. It may take a little while for him to source one but the service and atitude he provides will put most dealers to shame. I thoughly recommend him to all. Having bought a X300 from him I would have no problem going to him again. T.kinch

For many years I have been periodically searching for the XK 120 Roadster (Bronze) previously owned by my father Charles Maidment. The registration was LEL 21. In those days we lived at Haytor Vale Devon. In February 1963 he and the car (& my mother!) won the Concors D'Elegance in the BARC Eastbourne Rally. This event was important enough to make the front pages(?)of London Illustratred News at the time. He died shortly afterwards.

I wonder, therefore, if the car is owned by one of JEC's members, and wether you would be kind enough to check the register of vehicles for me. If the car is still around, I have some wonderful memorabilia to share with its current owner.

Help needed - I have an XJ40 3.2 1994 export LHD. It's been imported from Germany. The problem I have is that It's had an extra anti theft device installed, I think these systems were installed in the UK to comply with German regulations. I need to insert a small plastic key with three pins into a socket in the dash before starting the car. This system has developed an intermittent problem, so I wish to disconnect it. What I need is a wiring diagram. Can somebody help.

Hi I am a first time user and I have a question, I have run a jag for the past 26 years I now have a 3.6 xj 40, I am looking to buy a 1997 +, but I would like to find one with a stainless steel exhaust. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It must be solid and not coated. Does anyone out there know the model which still carries stainless steel?

We love the XJ-S My brother and I both own one each of this fabulous cars. I bought his original 1986 3.6 and he has just treated himself to a facelift 1991 4 litre. I think mine is the better one of the two! We call them the trad Brit board room cruiser. Is the XJ-S the best grand tourer in the world?

I agree with a previous comment about the feeling driving a Jaguar gives! It also attracts attention and assumptions. If anyone needs any work doing to their Jag I can reccomend the guy I use (I'm on to my second one now (a Sovereign). He is very cheap, completely honest and absolutely fantastic!!!! In fact anyone reading this will think I am him! Seriously though he is a God-send - give JOJAGS a ring on 0151 486 9007 or check out www.jojags.co.uk I have saved so much money and gained so much peace of mind that I am deeply grateful to Mark who runs it! Does anyone else here object to the existence of the X-Type? (It's made near here) =8-){---{

Fellow enthusiasts! Over the last four years, for better and for worse and against all odds we have owned a 1985 XJ-S H.E. The car is in immaculate condition and has never ever failed on us. It is just the most reliable car I can imagine. Having said that, it never misses a single service interval or scheduled part renewal, to any expense. Only two faults have bothered us since the beginning: the fascia vent doesn't allow any airflow in the "defrost" mode of the rotary selector switch and, secondly, the trip computer shows no fuel data at all. They always remain at zero. It may sound unlikely, but I would love to see my fuel flow and fuel consumed figures - just for the sake of it! Who can help? Appreciate any contribution.

I am a happy second owner of JAGUAR (GB)XJ 40 Souvereign 1987 in Germany. The first owner registered the vehicle with emission class 00, which is very high in yearly taxes.

Hi, I have just bought a 1994 xjs 4 litre without an owners manual and consequently do not know whether my air conditioning unit is working or not. Apart from a slight change in sound it seems no cooler than the regular cool air fan when switched on. Also whatever setting I try hot air seems to come out of the vents under th dashboard. Please advise me if you can. Also if anyone out there has a 1994 xjs owners handbook that explains the various switches and controls I would gladly pay for photocopying and postage. Thanks.

2 years ago I purchased a Jaguar xjs 3.6 manual. It has done about 110,000 miles and has full Jag service history. It has just gone through the MOT with the only problem being the wiper motor which is now fixed. I am now looking at selling the vehicle but I have no idea if there is much of a call for it or how much it is worth. If anybody has any ideas could you please email me. Many thanks.

Just bought a Daimler 3.6 with electrical problems. Main dealers localy can't help, Hains Manual hasent got a wiring diagram that matches, and the factory heritage dept. can't help either. Do you have a wiring diagram for a Daimler 3.6 1986 on a D reg ? If not, do you know the man who has. If you have, you could be the one to make this miserable old Jag lover a very happy bunny in deed. Heres hopeing.

I've had a 1972 Jag XJ6 for eighteen years. It still turns heads. Unfortunately, the driver's seat frame, which I've had welded a few times, likes to be slightly twisted. Anyone in cyberspace with a good frame or suggestions?

Hello Jag. lovers. I purshased two XJ-6's recently that were in a Hollywood movie currently titled El Diablo. They are searching for a new title at this time before it is released in the Spring of 03. It stars Vin Diesel. Both cars (83 and 87) have simulated machine gun fire on the passengers side with each of the side glass and rear glass "blown" out. I have replacement glass for one of the cars now - and need to fix the "bullet" holes. I plan to market these cars on Ebay when the movie is released. Can anyone tell me how to set the radios so they will work? They have some sort of security code that needs to be programed. Any help you can provide would truely be appreciated. Thanks.

Just got a 1990 Jaguar XJ6 it is sitting in my driveway as I await my new licence plates. Can't wait to put it on the highway and enjoy the scenery behind the Jaguar wheel. I think that it is a fantastic car, the design and shape will cause heads to spin. I always wanted a Jaguar, and finally I got one. I guess, good things come to those who wait.

Ground up rebuild, zinc-aneal sill panels,rebuilt Franzone engine only done 2000'ish miles. Baked enamal, colour-Squadron Blue, velour seats, (never been farted on) Just send Fully warrantied power steering box as a deposit. So you can seal the purchase price of $12000. This unit is as straight as an ironing board. If you want a 1979 Series 2 jag, you will have to spend over $12000 to get to the standard that this beautiful car is. It will be a nice car for someone who is searching for a nice car. cheers Peter

Just purchased a 1976 XJ12C. Looks like a complete cosmetic restoration is due, although sheetmetal is straight aside from minor underbody rust. My mechanic(who also works on my 1985 500SEC) tried to talk me out of it, but it's so lovely and runs, as we Americans are so fond of saying, like a striped-assed ape.
