HI everyone, My name is Jim ,I live in the windy city Chicago and just bought a 1991 Jag xjs convertible with only 49000 miles on it. I have always loved the styling of this car and finally was able to get my hands on this fairly cheap.I do have a problem though.Everytime that I hit my brake pedal the brake light comes on and the pedal is low, I had my friend who owns a repair shop attempt to bleed the brakes and he just opened up the bleeder's to let gravity do the job.he did not pump the brakes at all and then told me there was no air in the system.He is a good friend of mine and never charges me for repairs but, I think he missed the boat on this one.My question is "should I pump the brakes to bleed or what?"This car was sitting for 10 years so I'm told.It is driveable but with low brakes and an annoying light. There are no leaks in the system.Any help would be greatly appreciated. One last problem I have is that when I use the air conditioning,I can not get the air to come out of the middle vents, it is stuck in the defroster position.Please let me know your thoughts and I thank you in advance.

 

u got a pretty sweet ride there jim

 

Hey Jim, I noticed that you purchased the xjs convertible, that is what I'm looking at purchasing as well. They have such a classic look to them. I was wondering how you like the car over all. How is the maintainance on it?

Thanks for your help

Hi Jim,
I also have a 1991 Jaguar xj6, and had the same problem, had to take it to the dealer and found out the the fin of the ac was broken and that was the reason the ac was blowing like that, (costed me a fortune to fix that, almost $1100.00) good luck, Also on your brake I would sudgest to check the acumalator, which is like a round tennis ball type of a black ball, close to the master cillander. Good luck with your car.
