Either no one knows how I can take off my fuel or I'm not cool enough I just want to restore this car in my father's honor as well as myself I cant get theu heritage trust they are not taking my faxes or my calls or my emails or my luck no one gets in here enough to b able to answer my questions I'm literally stuck in the middle if this project because I cant get any answers from anyone I have 2 new tanks now but still cant get the first tank off I've watched videos no mechanic I talk to will even look at the car at all and tell me good luck please help me someone I'm desperate

Thank you! I apparently have found the vin number now I'm having a hard time getting thru to the uk office so that I can verify previous owners and records for my jag. If anyone knows a way to get information thru my vin number I would love it if someone could point me in the right direction? I have called the archives office and tried to get ahold of someone named Fred Hammond. Apparently they never are in the office. I've tried to email, fax ,and call the jaguar heritage trust people. Emailed them sent a fax and have even called and I got no answer no reply back of any kind. Am I calling the wrong people? Should I wait another 2 weeks and see if they reply? I'm at a total brick wall with out talking to them and getting information from them. Some places wont even let me order parts well original parts with out the title which has been lost in time. I dont know I'm confused never done this before let alone ever worked on a car by myself. So any advise in the right direction would be extremely helpful. Thank you everyone for reading this and any help is exactly that helpful. Again thank you very much. Sincerely Karl S.

Hello Bill my name is Karl and I am not from your country however. I find myself in Kennewick, Washington United States of America sporting a XJ6L Series 2. She drives smooth. Its my first Jag always wanted one, now I have her and only had to clean out the gas and fuel lines and she purrrrrrs........ Karls

Funny you say that, because I rarely see any Jaguars on the road unless they are wayyyyy outta town cruising I dont see many. However ur right Jaguars have become a big hit again. Definitely good to see. As long as they stay away from the parts I need! Just being silly.☕ Karl S.

I did find something today under the hood on the drivers fender it was under I think it's the pump for the wiper fluid but didnt follow the wires to far was looking for the vin number. However I found a plate under the pump and it read on to "Ue2T53166BW and 8L10497-L", and then on the bottom it read "5T10910 and 015/26078". Not sure if it's a parts number or what the deal is here. I'm awfully confused. Been looking for 2 days now and tomorrow is the good ole fashion third time is a charm. Thank you again for your assistance hope to hear from ya again soon. Karl S.

I did look around that area per friends suggestion only thing I found was 8L10498-L down there I didn't look way down in there but I'll take a look later. Thank you very much. Karl S.

O boy I said alot and it only sent out that lil bit torwards the end great!

sorry for all the words I just dont know how else to say it without being able to send photos of what i have found I'm documenting everything and again thank you for reading and offering your help i need all i can get. I've learned already that without the VIN number your kinda dead in the water so to speak hope to hear back from you with more advise if ya got any to spare thank. Karl S.

O one other thing i forgot to mention where in the world is the VIN number located? Its not in the drivers side window thats an 11 digit number. Inside the door panel has the plate on it buts its so worn its impossible to read anything on it except a couple words

Hello everyone: Im pretty new to mechanics especially to the sweet jaguar. I got myself my dream car. Shes a beauty, got really lucky with her, however she sat for 27 years. Does anyone have any idea where i need to start to gaurentee she is rode worthy? I am thinking about starting with the fuel tanks and make sure they are free of rust and maybe put in some sorta coating inside the tank to help with future risting. Does that sound like a good start? Please any advise would be helpful. Thank you so much in advance. From what the fellas that dropped her off says, she starts and runs. They i guess decided to try it without my consent, out a new battery in her and drover it from the shop it was in onto the flatbed. (I was so furious) So i know she runs i just dont think its a good idea to run it with crud in the tanks. Thank you again Karl S.

Well i might b in the wrong club but i like this ine so far im from Kennewick, Washington USA

And where and how do i acquire a logbook or owner and repair manuals and original welcome to jaguar booklets they handed out when purchased of the show room floor

Man im having the same problem. Im a proud owner of a 74 xj6L series 2 4.2L shes cherry too, but i know nithing about cars let alone a jaguar. However to kinda answer your question the vin number should b in the window/dashboard on the drivers side. And then i discovered a plate inside the drivers door, but unfortunately i cant read it is worn down and has over spray from a paint job i imagine it had at one point. I would liaf pictures but its not letting me. However so i kept looking thought maybe on the fire wall there should b aomething or on the engine. Nothing on the fire wall, but found a plate underneath what i think is the pumo for the wiper fluid sitting on the front driver fend inder the hood. Nope not it. Where the motor meets the trans there's some numbers, but i am guessing that those are part numbers but again im no mechanic. And the last think i seen before i called it a night last night was on the passenger side under the hood kinda on the fender theres another strip of numbers that match the numbers in the window and match the numbers under that pump i mentioned. Amd after 1 month of having her i still cant find the darn vin number. 😓 So if you sir find out where its at please shoot me a message and let me know if i find it im throwing a party for 1 and 2 I'm ginna jumo for joy. Its makes things easier then you have the vin to order oarts and so forth. Thank you And happy hunting hooe you find it Karl S.

Hello everyone. I am new here so hope i dont go upsetting anyone by how i type! Ill try my best to separate my sentences so people xan understand what im saying on this thingy. However to all u who know anything about jaguars, i could use some help with my baby. My father would have loved to been here when i got her but shes his and mine but im going to do what him and i planned and get this sweet Betty up and rolling down the road. She sat for 27 years not sure the best route to start with things but i figure the best place to start is the fuel tanks trying to get those suckers off if any of u have any advise i could sure use some. I did watch a youpube video and i think i got it but cant seem to figure out how to take the fuel caps off without beating up the paint or metal on the trunk or fenders. So yeah any advise on that 1 and do i need to change out all the hoses that has sat in the car since the guy bought it off the show room floor in the 70s? I can do that but is it necessary to do so? Thanx everyone im sure glad i found this club really excited about that car believe me shes a gem i got a steal hoping to keep the budget down in parts so if y'all know a cheapish place for parts and so forth let me in on that too please im ready to start ordering now lol
