Don't worry about the video I comented the clip with a smile, remember seeing this film many years ago. Nice to see this clip again.

According to the person who sold me this car, the upper shock mounts has been changed recently, but I have just called the garage who has been fixing it to receive documentation on eveything he has done with the car.

It's clowns for me (and I'm not kidding) although piers are right up there now.

I'm still in love (with my car)!

Even though I have had some repairs on my Jaguar. It is after all a 17 year old car.

Changed sway bar bushings in the front (one of them was 50% gone)
1 lower ball joint
Pressure hose on power steering.
Coin tray in center console
switch for the hood (cab)
Seat guide clips - both sides
Inside mirror (rear view)

This weekend, we are about to change:
coil springs in the front
Front shocks
Upper mounting plates
Brake pads in the front

During next week:
I have an appointment to flush the automatic transmission, change filter and oil.

Jacob,

Nothing too serious on the work list and, as you say, the car is 17 years old.

It still looks good as new!

Graham
