Hi

Is there anywhere on the internet where I can see components used in
the above system. I inherited this vehicle when my brother bought a
new mercedes, and at some point in the past a mechanic has
disconnected some of the tubing from a device in the engine
compartment that is part of this system, but I can find nothing about
it from th eusual sources.

Thanks, Tom

Oh - wait a bit - there's a small section on replacement in jag-lovers
about this.

Anybody know of a system diagram somewhere, or a more complete
description of the system?

First off the leveling shocks might have already been replaced with a
standard set of dampeners.

Second, if you are going to be a purist and want the car in original
condition then yes lets get it back in shape. But, if you are not
willing to deal with the punishment this system will deal out, then
just forget about it.

In most metropolitan libraries you can access shop grade "MOTOR"
manuals. Locate the chassis and suspension book and you will find the
diagram you seek. The best way to go is to visit a Jaguar parts
counter; if you ask nicely they will print it out for you.

HTH,
Blake

Must be.

You mean on the road or in the shop, hahaha?

Good idea - I'll give it 'em a try.
