  5. E Type 2 + 2 coupe Regency Red with beige leather interior. Was exported to the USA in 1971, was re regisitered in May 1988 on return to UK. Had a full body restoration in Tipton 1991 and a lovely sympathetic interior restore by Aldrigde Trimming in 2015. Looking for a sale price of £50K + has 60,700 miles, is an automatic RHD. really good conidtion, needs a loving home and a careful driver
  6. Hi Kevin Can you give us some more details and maybe some photos? Is it turning at all? or is it the Filler flap not opening? John
  7. Last week
  8. hi i have a 2012 xf im having a problem i cannot open my fuel cap it was working fine before and just stopped could anybody help please.
  9. HI Corey I haven't yet sold the car - I make use of it once or twice a week at the moment. Happy to arrange a time when I could show it to you and we could have a ride in it. This would have to be in about a fortnight from now - I have some familly trips to do. Please DM me so that we can arrange a date and time regards Alistair
  10. Hi, Have you managed to sell this yet I would be very interested (also north london based). My last foray into X Type ownership was hampered by rust but this sounds like a lovely example Would you be able to share anymore details?
  11. For sale XJ6. Year 1990with 75000 miles on clock. Only selling due to illness. It needs a little TLC. Open to offers
  12. The windscreen drain can block 'inside' the vehicle since this can happen frequently it is your responsibility to check this.The rear of the Chassis - forward of the back wheel has cutouts for jig alignment. Due to modern tire width water is not only splashed outward but forward. Meaning water is able to enter the cutouts causing inevitable internal corrosion. I made simple oversized bungs from packing foam and gorilla tape to fill these holes.
  13. Looking for some good XF front seat covers????? Any suggestions please??
  14. Hi Peter Glad you got it sorted, and thanks for the update. Always nice to know how people have actually solved the problems rather than just having a list of problems and suggestions for solving them which may or may not have worked. 🙂 John
  15. Being a law obiding individual I took Charlie to the vets this week to get him "chipped". Very disappointed with the outcome though. No faster and certainly no better economy. (Charlie, by the way, is a half bred Bengal)
  16. Hi Dan, Thank you 😊 as imagined, it rose as it excludes AF £45 fee. I paid to have key cover too and it came to £316 ish. Can't add additional cars to policy but I opted for protected NCB which was more expensive and a bit of a faff getting different quotes from other folk. Requirement of an immobiliser wasn't mentioned on the call at all, but when I downloaded the docs, it said I needed a Thatcham category 1 fitted - and no idea what 1 is or if the car has one. Need to call them to discuss as don't want to collect/drive if policy will be void. Apart from that, customer service was good 😊
  17. Update! The problem turned out to be a worn compressor and a slightly flat battery. The latter was easily resolved but the compressor turned into a saga. I had a new piston ring in my spares stash which I seem to remember buying because it came with free desiccant for the drier. I fitted the new ring and the message was still there. On the bench the compressor struggled to reach 5 bar never mind 14. A new, proper ring saved the day , restored compression and broke the daily routine of removing the compressor. We never have time to do a job properly yet find time to do it twice.....or three times. The moral of the story is 'Only buy the original Bagpiping Andy kit or risk becoming very efficient at removal and replacement of the compressor.
  18. Hi Jason, Thats good news, I’ll keep you posted via this thread. All the best , Ian
