daimlersovereign88

hi I am just wondering if anyone is breaking a rust free (or nearly rust free) jaguar ? The parts I am looking for is a good bonnet and boot lid. Must be pretty rust free. My car is a daimler sovereign 3.6 1988 ( square headlamps) If it was in ireland it would be a bonus but I don't mind if its in the UK :) thanks very much

Hi. I have a 1988 daimler sovereign 3.6 and I was trying to remove the door panel today. I got the top part removed no problem but Im stuck on removing the bottom part. There is one screw that goes into the light/reflector on the arm rest and there is another type of screw towards the front of the arm rest. Is this a screw that is screwed out or does it just ''pop out''. It looks like plastic flat head screw but its not turning and I don't want to break it. It is the later type panel. I have been told that if the battery is in the boot or under the bonnet there is a difference in the door panels. Mine has the battery UNDER THE BONNET. It is NOT the one in this ink. http://www.xj40.com/viewtopic.php?t=2706 Also, how is the electric windows and speaker removed or Does it become obvious once the arm rest is removed ? Or if anyone knows, what do I do after the arm rest removed. I would really appreciate help on this as I don't want to risk breaking anything when I don't really know what Im doing . Thanks very much. Please reply ASAP. Thanks again. This forum has helped me in the past so I'm hopeful it can come good again ! :)

no the door isn't opening from the inside or the outside .. will I still be able to take the door panel off do you think ? I think it probably is the plastic part that holds the catch as the owner said I can adjust it to make the doors open easier/freely. Will I need to take the door panel off to fix the plastic part ? thanks very much

i don't think wd 40 will work but i will try it :) would I be able to take the door card even when the door doesn't open ? If I can I imagine your dead on .. I think there plastic on mine .. :) thanks very much

okay.. so I bought my daimler sovereign 3.6 a few days ago. When I bought it the owner said that it did have some issues... For example; the left hand rear door doesn't open.. he said it was a kind of 'link' that needed adjustment but the door had to be taken off the hinges to get access to remove the door panel. But today, I went to open the drivers door and failed.. I got it open by simply pulling the handle from the inside to open it.. but when I pulled it into the garage and pull the handle to get out, nothing happened (climbing out the passenger side was not as easy as you would think ) .. The other door handles are extremely stiff/hard to open also and I'm afraid that some day I may get locked out !!! I need urgent advice on this topic .. all help is very much appreciated :) :)

this is my first ever daimler sovereign owning.. only bough it yesterday and I love it :) I do have some some questions which i will be posting soon :) Thanks :)
