They call me Jack. I am not a gearhead but, have done most of my own repairs begining with a 1960 VW Microbus and its underpowered 36 Hp engine. That would have been in 1967. I know my way around an engine and have a fair collection of handtools.

8 years ago I married, Dorothy, and she had a 1990 XJS Classic convertible
in her garage. It was drivable but seldom driven. It been driven even less since then. In 2011 it got a total of 67 miles on the road. It did not get much more than that this year. Currently it is a non-starter. No fuel pressure. Filter replaced. Fuel pump questionable. Will fire with starter fluid. I found lot's of good information reading these forums. So at this time I am not asking for advice.

The Car is in Boise,ID and I won't be getting back to it for roughly six months. The 3 1/2 miles of washboarded gravel road into my summer home
would take a great a toll on it.

So I'll be reading posts mostly and seldom posting until late fall when I can get back to being baffled by a V-12.

A word of thanks to all who have previously posted. I have learned from
your Q & A's
