will try old peter still doing little jobs on her at the moment trying to get it ready for the big MOT.

Hi Jim yes just about past the mot just have to replace the rear shocks and clean up some service rust on the back axle ect as it has been standing for over a year so yeah very good result. Very happy on the engine as it performed really well thought I would have had some problem with  it as not had a good run been standing for that long mind you did give it a quick service like change the water pump change all the fluids and oil filter when driving the jag to the mot station did get abit of smoking but have cleared up on the second day of driving the jag so well happy but saying that on rebuilding the jag did come across many problems like you do one problem then another problem would pop up so frustrating but stuck with it took my time read afew forums on here and now all going great another jag saved from the crusher. Will have to sit down and think about some mods to do don"t know yet.
