Dear All

All though I Joined a year a go this might be my first posting, previously born and lived close to Solihull and worked for Lucas aerospace and automotive

I presently live in west Sussex and I am in the market for a late XJS  4 lt   several I have found have damp in the foot walls or rust around the window  

so looking for cost and someone for the following work :-

remove window screen and head lining 

repair metal above and below window this is a variable but guide prices from past jobs 

pant damaged area due to repair

replace window with new seals

replace  head lining  this will probably require new head lining to match existing 

any help appreciated  Regards Paul B  07719208048

Dear all

As a new member can I introduce my sylph

My name is Paul Bicknell I originally come from Warwickshire and moved to the south cost in West Sussex 20 years ago

Although I am a new member I have been associated with Classic cars for over 40 years  I am formally an electronics engineer and worked for

Lucas Aerospace and then moved to the automotive industry with Lucas automotive

Unfortunately the past 15 years I have bean out of the automotive industry

• I am looking for a XJS  4 lt  face lift and I could do with some technical help

There seams to be a history with ingress of water from the front window screen

Is there any advise you could give me also could you please direct me to a supplier of the widow seals as I believe the face lift is different to the previews model

The other major problem appears to be the rain gully behind the A pillar finisher

and causing rain ingress due to rust , Again could any one suggest a repair / fix  as my car will not be garaged during the summer months

• Also looking for  Service manual and Parts manual in paper format

Best Regards Paul
