Hello...I have a 1991 XJ6 and when I unlock the front door with the key or
from the inside latch the rear dorr locks don'r pop up like they used

bit when I unlock front door but remain locked...It started after ...

I have the opportunity to by an X-Type 3 litre, 4-wheels drive, '91, 50'000
miles and automatic Gearbox.
But unfortunatly they have to change the gearbox, because it stops to work.
It's a common problem on X-Type ?

Hi, I have an '86 Australian V12 XJSC, which whenever I open the petrol cap,
releases a huge amount of pressure. Open the cap (hot or cold day, full tank
or almost empty) and there is a big whoosh for a couple of seconds. A bit
embarrassing at the crowded petrol station!

For your information
I've been driving an X-Type 2.0 D sport for about 6 weeks.  From day 1
it's drifted left at all speeds.  I gave it 3 weeks to loosen up and
started the fix process.

I recently had the head liner replaced in my '88 XJS and in the process the
upholster damaged the plastic part that the sun visor arm goes through
(small plastic piece that rests against the padded head liner).  Does anyone
know where I can purchase a replacement?  Both are damaged. ...

I've read bad reviews on Pirellis (noisy) and Michelin.
What do ya'll recommend I buy?

Please help
Which is better the V8 or the V6 S type ?

Anyone see the S type trying to go fast around Nurburgring last night ?.
I quote Clarkson, "Its a diesel so all the power appears and then its time
to change gear"
You know my views regarding Jag engines - Only  12 cylinders will do !!!

I read with interest the article on the S type regulator problem posted by
N. Haupt.
Its scandalous that a window regulator should break at all, never mind all 4
regulators.

Let me tell you about a recent visit to Halfords in Chelteham - the people
who think they are a car part retailer ..
Me:                (Puts a wheel cyliner on the desk) Have you got one of
these.
