Ahoy! Greetings from a NY newbie.
Hi. My name is Paul. Live in Westchester County, NY, just north of The Bronx Bombers. Though they aren't doing as well as they did in the past, I'm still hanging in as a Yankee fan.
Anyway, I'm new to the Forum. I have owned a 1993 King Fisher Blue XJS 4.0 liter Convertible 5 Speed manual. Owned it from the beginning. I had it shipped up from Texas late in 1993. Probably one of the last available. Have been pretty lucky with it over the years. 193K miles and only changed the clutch once. Though I have to say I am and have been the only driver over the past 24 years. Its been a fun car and its been good to me. She still turns people's heads and I'm still getting compliments. Been loving her all along. I look forward to sharing experiences and contributing to this forum.

Welcome aboard! You have quite a rare car! I'd love to drive a manual XJS someday. Enjoy the forums!

Oh well. I showed my wife the Forum and the posts and replies. She noted to me that WinstonSalem is in N. Carolina. Back to the geography books, or Google Maps. I need more coffee this morning

I posted the following to the XJS forum about a week ago but to date have not received any replies. Any suggestions to get some expert advice?
Hi. First thanks to everyone for the help and expertise in these forums. I have a 93 XJS with 193K miles. I had the fuel pump replaced 6K miles ago, 22 months ago. Car won't start now, engine turns, no problem with battery, though no smell of fuel when trying to start the car. Someone suggested it might be a fuse to the fuel pump. I can't find a fuse in the manual for the fuel pump. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
