I have a 1999 Jaguar Vanden Plaz that I received in most unusual circumstances, anyways, I had the right side hood release problem and figured
it out, this website came up on a search and gave me the general basics, I figured out my problem ( this one ) took lots of pictures and thought it might help if I joined and shared my grief while doing my resto/making it run ...thing

 

Welcome to the forum 1geo1,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Either add your pictures to an existing bonnet release thread or start a new one for your resto project. Pictures are always a big helpwith issues like this.

It sounds like you've probably already found your way to the model tech section but if not, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-xj8-xjr-27/to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

It is my second day and navigating around here for me will be confusing at first, However, I already have a good feeling, the pictures are taken, and thanks for the welcome Side note, once I did get the hood/bonnet open I discovered quite a few critters ( have those pics as well ) seems I got back to my jag just in time though
( except for the material eaten at right side of engine comp) Oh well, better that than wiring...I am actually a 27 yr ford tech, seen a lot of it

 

Sorry for not adding this earlier, but, if anyone has Ford questions as well I would be happy to help...ooh, and if you have the model same as a lincoln, buy the Lincoln parts for 1/2, also I found online ( for me ) partsgeek.com has reasonable prices ( except for the cup holder I need ) LOL
