  1. Interesting that it's a known problem, hope they come up with a solution soon!
  2. Welcome to the forum Gwilym!
  3. Welcome aboard Matthew! Still a relative newby myself but it's a very friendly, helpful forum, hope your Jag serves for well for a very long time!
  4. I would say if it fits your criteria for your next car then yes. They always seem to get good reviews, even from those reviewers that are somewhat scathing about British cars. All depends exactly what you want but you shouldn't go too far wrong. 😉 😄
  5. Have you tried the same app on a smartphone or computer? Just wondering if the problem is with the app itself and/or the peole that provide it rather than being a car problem.
  6. Might be worth cleaning that out using caarb/air intake cleaner or even renewing the PCV valve to reduce the pressure the oil is being blown up by. A 6" diameter puddle of oil won't actually be that much, a little goes a long way when it's spread out on the ground but it's still too much really.
  7. Forgot to ask, after soaking the bores in oil, did the compression on the other 4 cylinders improve?
  8. That sonds very much like the dizzy cap is dirty and tracking is occurring - in other words you're getting a spark at the correct time and then as the rotor distributes sparks to the other plugs, dirt is providing a track across the cap to the one plug giving a spark. Have you also verified that when #1 cylinder is at TDC, the rotor is pointing to #1 segment in the cap and that the leads are on the cap in the correct order? A closed points gap could also have caused this, the points may only just be opening just enough to give a spark but way too late - worth checking the gap and then re-checking the static timing too.
