just cant resist buying old classic's ...bought an XJ6 series 3 few years back .have had it laid up for a while and now trying to get it up and running .have had most of the body work repaired ,not front suspension is shot ...so hope it wont break the bank by the time i'm finished !

 

Welcome
Its a simple thing to fix as long as you know what you're doing (rimshot). Good luck.

 

Ok ,Thanks Jerry ,but how do i fix it .Have it with a mechanic ,but he not too familiar with the old jags !!

 

I don't know. Its not that easy.

 

Hello,
When you fall by our Xj6 Series section, you'll find us here:
XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
I'll post a link to my front end job.

It wasn't all that hard, just a bit involved and sometimes tedious. Definitely in the realm of DIY (I did it) but since you already have the car in the shop you might want to take a look anyway.

The only place they come together is in the cylinder bores and the spark plugs soon take care of the petrol!

Has the engine been flooded with failed start attempts and unburned fuel worked its way past the piston rings into the sump?
