  1. Phillip Thank you very much for the information. I did actually wonder if it were Swallows that you were talking of. Regards and Best Wishes, John
  2. Phillip When you say "good flush" by a specialist what does that actually mean and what written guarantee do you get. Interested to know who/where this specialist is as I live in an adjoining County. Many thanks and Regards, John
  3. Peter How true your comments on patience are. This job was really fiddly and somewhat time consuming but I hope it proves successful. Some 40/50 test actions to open the door flap were successful so I am contemplating it will stay that way. Best Wishes, John
  4. May be playing "Devils Advocate" but there is and has been for many many years a thread of thought that copper grease should not be used on wheel nuts. It is/has been suggested that the nuts can be overtightened due to the effect of the copper grease. Going back a few years (I am almost 72) it was never ever used on wheel nut threads because of the problem of over torqueing the nuts and fear of causing hydraulic affect in domed wheel nuts. The favoured approach was to thoroughly clean all oils, grease etc from the thread and keep them dry. The HGV industry is always warning that wheel threads should not be greased and always re-torqued after a few miles of use when wheel nuts have been newly re-fitted. I know the HGV industry and automobiles (cars) are totally different technology but the principal is the same in both. I am not offering a definitive statement, just offering a different point of view. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  5. Actuator replaced this morning and everything working as it should. Many thanks to all who have been involved with this fix. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  6. Jim Many thanks, looks as though these have been subject to warranty in the past. Drawing one: the part does not exist on my replacement part. However Drawing two: the part does exist on my replacement part. Was going to fit this part tomorrow so will check again before doing so. Thank you, Best Wishes and Regards, John
  7. Thanks for all replies. I feel I will be happier keeping to NOT using Supermarket Fuel. I like the comment about pensioners using all of their income running S Types. I certainly concur with that one. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  8. New (upstream and downstream) Lambda`s have already been fitted to Bank 1, where the fault code is recording. Thanks and Best Wishes, John
  9. James Plenty of new headliners on Ebay for your XJS and including a fitting service based in Preston. Yes, a fair old trip but depends on your dexterity with fitting the new one yourself. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=headliner+for+jaguar+xjs&_sacat=0 Good Luck and Best Wishes, Regards, John
