Hi All
As some of you will have seen from my earlier post, I am trying to work out
how to drive the speedometer of my 85 XJS using a differential mounted
transducer from a late 3.6 XJS. From the lack of replies, I assume no-one
knows how I should proceed, which is fine, but I need to see a wiring
diagram for an XJS with a diff monunted transducer so that I can work out a
way ahead.
I have searched high and low on the web, but can't find any resources there
apart from buying another manual. As I don't own a post 88 car and I
already have a Jaguar manual which covers my own car, the price (around 60
UK pounds) is a little excessive to look at one drawing.
Please please please could some kind soul scan and e-mail me the information
I need. I suspect it will be one or two pages at the most in a supplement
at the back of the workshop manual for XJS 3.6 & 4.0L models.
I hope someone can help me, I'm getting short on cash and long on
frustration when all I want to do is get my lovely Jag back on the road.

Thanks Blake
As it turns out, I don't need to change the calibration. I managed to get
hold of a speed transducer module off a 1989 3.6 today, and the guy who
gave it to me also had a wiring diagram for the car. Having run a couple of
new wires, the speedo and computer came on line.
Not sure if the thing was accurate, I tested it it the most precise way
known to man; I followed a stream of traffic at 40mph on a road with a fixed
speed camera and as I slowed with the traffic past the camera, it read
exactly 30mph!
Now all I have to do is work out why the cruise control doesn't work -
probably the vacuum module on the engine.

I have a similar problem, I have an 89 XJ-S, and changed the rear end, now
I need to figure out how to change to a transmission mounted transducer
instead of a differential... anyone have any advice?
