Hi Paul I don't think it should be an issue with non-standard bulbs as it is the deflection they are looking for rather than the light output so LED bulbs should be okay as long as there is no chance of causing glare to other drivers. Main beam generally doesn't have any deflection and is not a controlled light source, unlike the dip beam. So only difference is the light output will be increased and maybe with a different tone (blue, white, etc). I put a car through an MOT recently and it had LED sidelights and indicator bulbs and there was no issue. Will let you know if I do find any conflicting information though. Cheers, Trevor

I have seen this before with worn speedo drives (if mechanical or electro-mechanical) and/or worn gearbox bearings which can produce spurious results. Easy to diagnose by removing any mechanical speedo drive from the gearbox and examining it for wear

I'm quite pleased it has rained...saves me a job of washing the car 🙂

Looks like they'll do the job...I have some on my Honda CRV and it makes a tremendous difference to how much it reduces the wind and rain coming in when at speed

Have you considered Wind Deflectors as a possibly to deflect water, wind, etc

Wow! some absolute beauties there...difficult to keep the wallet in the pocket event by the look of it 🙂 Thanks for sharing this with us, always great to see classic Jags, and other marques on display.

Hi Rod Your engine is equipped with a Timing Chain (see image below for layout) and it is worth noting that failure is usually a result of poor lubrication (e.g. infrequent oil changes and incorrect/cheap oil).
