Hello everyone. I have been visiting this forum for a couple of months now and have decided to join in. This spring I realized that I have been neglectful in regard to the care of my car. I own a 1993 XJS convertible with 4l six cylinder and 5 speed getrag. I have owned the car since 1999.

As I get more involved with the car I find that the ROM is insufficient and some experienced advise would be helpful.

I am currently changing all the fluids in the car oil, coolant, and brake fluid.

Curious finding while working on the rear brakes, I found that the brake line runs to the passenger side caliper and then jumps to the driver side caliper. No bleeder on passenger side only driver side. (oh yea..inboard brakes) Was wondering if anyone has ever seen this. The ROM describes a conventional T fitting that I don't have.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum,

A lengthy period of ownership so you must be enjoying the XJS.

If you post the tech question about the brake configuration in XJS - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum section, I'm sure the resident experts will advise. Between them they have had every nut and bolt apart and back together again on the XJS!

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User ID button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Graham
