I've been working on.... er... driving British cars for about 10 years now, but almost exclusively triumphs...

I had a Jag fall into my lap at a price I couldn't refuse, so now I'm the proud owner of an 86 v-12 XJS that wont start, and needs paint. (I know.. I know)

Hopefully I'll get the answers I need here to help get and keep the thing on the road.

Sadly, I'll be leaving the country for several months in the next few weeks, so I might not get to drive the car, and even if I get it running, I wont get to drive it much until I return.

Guess that'll do for an introduction

 

Welcome, enjoy your ride and forums

 

Welcome, and enjoy the fun of V12s.

All the Best,

 

Welcome to the forums, at least you will have plenty of time to read all about your car during your absence. That's if you get any free time.

Take care.

Hope your kitty is up and running soon! Welcome to the forum.

 

welcome to the site and Jag ownership NZ

 

Watch those zombies....and even moreso if they're not the Romero variety!

Welcome aboard and enjoy the 5.3. They're an underappreciated gem

 

Thanks for all the welcomes guys!

I've got another thread posted in the XJS forum asking (what I think are) pertinent questions about getting the car running, if anybody has the time and knowledge to help, it certainly would be appreciated!

I'm reading through Kirby's book, but not finding a lot of answers so far...

And thanks again!

 

A 24-year old car is going to need quite a lot of work doing. Rust is likely your main enemy.
Having said that, these cars are DIY maintainable, with much less pesky electronics !!

 

hello and welcome!!
