restorer

Hi. Don't know if this is the best but it was recommended to me by a tech-y friend. I bought and fitted one and I'm very happy with what it does. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08CVCQN4B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Propshaft collected from Dunning & Fairbanks ltd, and fitted back on. They had replaced the rear section which addressed the issue of worn splines. They replaced the rubber in the centre carrier and replaced both rubber doughnuts at each end. They left the centre UJ as it was the 'only part that was ok'. Cleaned it up cosmetically as well. Charged me £300. A great job.

Heard from D&F that they've finished my propshaft. I'm going to see them on Monday 19th. I'll report back on the thread after talking to them and seeing what they've done.

I'll be taking my prop up to Dunning and Fairbank in a couple of weeks. Dunning & Fairbank Limited, Cross Green Rise, Cross Green Industrial Estate Leeds, LS9 0SD United Kingdom 0113 2488 788 https://www.dandfltd.co.uk Talk to them on the phone

Tryputting up a post on Jaguar Forum Uk. Lots of advice on there.

I've got an X350 so different dimensions. There may not be an X351 owner on this group near you. Try jaguar forum.com, specifically https://www.jaguarforum.com/forums/xj-xjr-x351-2010-2019.97/ and post a thread on there.

It's a 2004. Careless operation of numeric key pad!

I've a pair of cats off my 2007 X350 Super V8 as I upgraded to sports cats. I don't know offhand if they are interchangeable with cats for 3.0. If they are I can send more details.

If there's no structural damage then a fair offer could provide enough to buy the car back off them and pay for the repairs and paint. You need a quote to be sure really. And a fair offer!

A bent wheel is also a possibility.

Hi. Confession! I don't actually own a Jaguar. Yet. Been going to get a Jag since 1992, but it never actually came about. Now, when I've sold my S600, is the time I'll get a Jaguar. I want an X350 XJ Super V8. Prices over the last year have rocketed though, so it may be an XJR that I get, although their prices have risen noticeably as well. Is it a price 'bubble', or is it a market adjustment putting them in their proper place as classic cars? Either way it looks like it'll cost me about £4K more than 2 years ago :-( Still, worth it for Super V8 happiness. :-)
