Hi Folks,

I have a 1990 Jaguar XJ40, which has done about 180k. I got it a few years as an MLC present to myself. I love it heaps but there are a few things starting to go wrong so I thought I'd get some help to fix things myself, as I like tinkering with it.

I'll start some Qs soon, once I get myself sorted out and ready to act upon the advice I receive from this forum.

Many thanks
Brian

Welcome to the forum Brian,

Good to have you with us.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Welcome from a fellow newbie!

Bust of luck with your new kitty!

 

Thanks folks...I tried to edit my signature to add my vehicle, but it would't allow me to...something about not having sufficient privileges ??
don't quite understand...

Brian

 

Brian,

You can edit your Signature and add a SigPig. Follow the procedure I described in post #3.

One of the restrictions on new members is not being able to start a forum 'garage' until having a minimum 3 Days membership AND 10 Posts.

Brian:
Welcome to the forum and to ongoing XJ40 ownership - although I'm not quite sure what "MLC" stands for. I googled it. Martin Luther college? Multi level cell? Sorry, I'm a bit dense... The XJ40 guys will undoubtedly help keep your car going for years to come.

Cheers!
Scott

 

heheh....must be an OZ thing maybe !
MLC = Mid Life Crisis....

I just edited my signature so hopefully it will work now.

Cheers
Brian

Thanks for that Jim,
I've been away for a while and just got back.
some of the things I need advice on are :
drivers door latch doesn't work
passengers window electrics jams and doesn't work now and then
rear passenger door centrol locking doesn't work.

I plan on searching tags with these topics as a first step or do you think I should just ask the questions of members ?

Cheers
Brian

 

Brian,

A search for those three issues will bring plenty of results.

Using Google with 'Jaguar Forums + ' as the first part of the search string is the easiest way to find relevant Jaguar Forums threads:

In this example, I've used 'Jaguar Forums + jaguar XJ40 + drivers door latch' and the top 2 results are Jaguar Forums links.
