Hi All,

Just got myself a 96 XJ 2.5 TD as my first car (and I'm well chuffed with
myself!). Its 120,000 on the clock but full dealer service history. I want
to do as much of the work as possible myself, so I've found a full set of
filters (air/oil/fuel) on ebay from Mansfield 4x4 for £35 + £23 p&p (I'm in
Ireland). Any hints on what I'd need to change these myself? I've got the XJ
Haines manual but it its the american version - doesn't deal with the diesel
version.

Also, after a couple of weeks driving, reverse has become increasingly
difficult to engage - to avoid grinding I have to pull the gearstick as hard
as possible (giving it everything!) to the right, before sliding down to
reverse. Any ideas what the problem might be?

All the best,

Jamie.
