On the rear of my diff is a speedo drive - This is an electronic sensor with
a wire going up into the boot.
Does anyone know if this sensor serves any other purpose other than running
the speedo, for example, does it run any part of the engine management

I have a 1977 xj6 that is need of body repair and have located a  1976
that the body is in pretty good shape. As far as I know they have the

We have an XJ40 4.0L 1994 Sovereign that sometimes is a bugger to start
when it is has been very damp or raining overnight.  This is first time
in the mornimg, not once the car has been started during that day.

I have a 2003 S Type and had some problems that have been fixed under
warranty.
My neighbour has an S Type Sport, and on braking to a stop behind a car at a
junction, he allowed the car to pull forward slowly as the queue moved. when

Can anyone point out which is the relay for the powered windows on my
’85 XJS.  Been going through a CD but i cant find the codes to link it
to a specific relay / fuse box.
I tested the power at the switches and it stands at 0.3v and drops to

I have a 94 XJ6 and for a year now especially in the summer the radio, seat
adjustments and air conditioning will sometimes (more in summer) not come
on immediately.  Then after a few minutes they all come on simultaneously.

Ok this is one for the books.  About 3 weeks ago the car would not start.
Checked for spark and have plenty.  I checked the fuel pump and it seemed
to be working. Changed the filter and it still wouldn't start. The repair

I own a 1998 XJ8, that has about 170,000 kms on the clock. The car had
been running perfectly until recently. I return from a long outstation
trip doing an average of about 180 kph. The day after that the car
suddenly dveloped rough idling. I sent the car to the Jaguar workshop,

Just jacked the car up to find out which half of the system was at
fault.  I video’d the slave cylinder and it was clearly moving.  I am
about to take the box off to examine the clutch.  ~~Just curious to if
anyone had any tricks of trade info regarding this operation?

I recall when these synthetics made an appearance in the [60's] ?
Seems I recall that it was recommended to only use them in NEW
cars for some reason.
Seems there's a new revival of these that they "push" at the
