After looking closly at my nice wooden dash the top of the doors and rear side tops have been stained and lacquered. I believe they should be the same as the dash but on my example the dash is Burr Elm not walnut? Anyone hearer of this before ? And should the door tops be the same veneer as the dash? ]]> Mark V - X 420G Acleff https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/mark-v-x-420g-58/burr-elm-mk-v-drophead-1950-3-8-a-296587/ https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/mark-v-x-420g-58/mkv-front-disk-brakes-conversion-296465/ Fri, 15 May 2026 07:20:31 GMT HI I thought I saw a thread / post on converting MK V front brakes to disks but I cannot find it ? Has anyone any experience of using this conversion set by M&C Wilkinson or know of an alternative? I rememeber some thought it was a great improvment and worth the £2K but I would welcome thoughts and experineces.

Hi fellow Jag enthusiasts. Mk8, I am considering retrofitting a spin on oil filter adapter. I have been warned that they may not be good due to the restrictive nature of oil flow through the adapter. Has anyone had experience with these in a Mk 8. Some makes may be good? Some bad? Thanks. ]]> Mark V - X 420G DB48 https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/mark-v-x-420g-58/spin-oil-filter-296257/
