  1. Sounds like a rather extravagant amount of money for exhaust clamps, are they Gold Plated ?????? Regards, John
  2. Mike When young (am now 72) and a real "Jack the lad" at 18 I bought two jags. A XK120 convertible which was an absolute rust bucket but it did run and drive. Sold it in three days and made a great profit of £250 . Also bought a Mk 1 which was in fairly good order. It was a metallic dark blue with cream leather interior. Kept for about two weeks and sold it making £450 profit. My mother (bless her) was not at all pleased and "suggested" (being polite) that I bought no further junk and brought it home. I wish I still had them two cars now, but suspect that they have gone to their resting place.
  3. Jim Welcome to the club/forum. My goodness you certainly had your share of XJ6s. Fifty One cars in sixteen years could possibly be classed as an obsession to Jaguars. Good luck with your S-Type and keep the battery regularly and well charged, to avoid electrical and numerous warnings cropping up. I use a CTEK MS 7 with my S-Type and have it on charge at least once a week for at least 24 hours. I learnt by experience that it was the safest way of avoiding many false and misleading readings and warnings. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Phillip Loads of them here https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=xf+jaguar+front+door+seal+rubber&_sacat=0Cheers, John

  6. Tim Think you have said it all about Jaguar. Best Wishes, John
  7. Patrick Welcome to the club/forum. Fuse locations are usually listed in your handbook. If not then plenty of diagrams on the internet showing fuse layout plans. www.jaguar.com is also a very very useful source of information by particular car model. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  8. Gary Jaguar Heritage would probably be able to tell you exactly . Cheers, John
  9. Tim You need to invest in a CTEX MS 7 or MS 10 battery charger/restorer and keep your battery well charged at all times. My S Type goes on charge at least once a week for at least 24 hours. Jaguar are prone to Parasitic Discharge and will cause many faults and problems if not kept on a high charge, Best Wishes and Regards, John
  10. That is probably why it is successful and profitable to be a Jaguar Dealer . Regards, John
  11. NOT really how I would expect a private seller to respond to this statement. Consideration to removing the post should be made. Unless the status can be proved otherwise. Regards, John
  12. I always use and recommend Pirelli. Cheers , John
  13. Charles I bought a MS 7 because it can also be used as a tender to start a flat battery. I believe the MS 10 also has the same ability but is dearer than the MS 10. I also bought an adapter (again from CTEK) to install in the boot of my S-Type so as I do not need to keep connecting the CTEK to the battery. The battery connections are left permanently in place. CTEX have a good video on their own website and all of the products are listed and priced as well. No, you do not need to remove the battery. With the adapter CTEK have available it literally takes two minutes to connect and have the battery on charge. Well worth the investment in my opinion. Best Wishes and Regards, John
