Hi Dave...welcome to the Club 

I think that must be everyone's first memory of the XJS, it was certainly mine and I wonder how many cars they sold off the back of that TV series.

Hi Richard....welcome to the Club

Sorry for the late response, been away from the computer for a while.
You certainly have a superb mk9 there.
I once restored the major mechanical units for one once....superb engineering of the day and carried through for many years to come.

Good to have you onboard and hopefully you'll find our forum software platform easy to use....any issues then just let us know and we'll endeavour to assist where we can.

Cheers,  Trevor

Hi Geoff....sorry for the late reply

Welcome to the Forum

Wow!  you have quite a collection of British cars, obviously a sucker for punishment 😁

No really, superb cars and hope you find a nice XK8 to join the fold....although they are getting harder to find as time goes by.

Cheers,  Trevor

HaHa....I wouldn't have thought of checking there myself, would probably have happened across it at some point like yourself.
Just goes to show, never assume!

I would be happy enough to try and answer as many questions as anyone would like to throw at me, not promising to know the answers but (touch wood) but only been stumped once.  My dashcam, fitted and hardwired in by myself kept blowing a fuse.  9 fuses later I still had not worked out what it was.  Eventually found the answer though helped out by a fellow Jag enthusiast.    So that is a riddle for you what would keep blowing my dashcam fuse?   Had been working fine for two years..........

P.S So what kept blowing the fuse?  🎆

I would say at a guess that it is either the fuse was tapped into a switchable polarity (e.g. switches to earth - similar to electric windows) or the cable was trapped somewhere shorting to earth?

Hi Frank....good to have you back on the forum

It would be great if you could answer any questions that you may have the answer to as this does seem to be a widespread problem where the original poster comes in, asks the question, gets the answer and then goes without giving feedback, e.g. did the answer resolve the problem?

If you need any help with a few batches of questions then please let me or any other moderators know and we will see what we can do to fill this void.

You should be able to answer posts by clicking Reply to Topic or Quote and this should open a response box.

Beautiful XKR by the way....looks like it is cherished and nice to see the attention to detail.

Cheers . Trevor

Speed limiting technology looks set to become mandatory for all vehicles sold in Europe from 2022, after new rules were provisionally agreed by the EU

Do you agree with this or not, will it save lives?

Very useful tip, thanks for sharing it

Hi Neil

How much roughly are you looking for it?

you could try outside Breamore House or Kingston Lacy

Hi Stewart

If I were you, I would get them to check whether the power is getting to components (using a multimeter), for example:

• Is current getting to the starter motor solenoid terminals?
• is the starter solenoid engaging?
• do the headlights dim when turning the key?
• is the battery 100% condition?
• are the chassis earth terminals secure and free from corrosion?
• are the battery terminals tights?

There are so many fundamental tests to go through before condemning components and always start at the source of the power supply - the battery!

Let us know how these checks go

Hi Mark.  That is a generous offer and I'm sure someone will snap it up shortly.

Is it a petrol or diesel engine and manual or automatic gearbox?

either that or change the profile size of the tyres....maybe a classic tyre to suit the vehicle?
