Hi all,

just a quick introduction and a hello from Ireland.

I have recently purchased a 1976 Daimler Sovereign 4.2l Vanden Plas.

Running and driving but with a known blown cylinder head gasket which will be the first thing that will require attention, and no doubt a long list of other jobs to be completed after that but very much looking forward to the "challenge".

I have done a few cylinder head gasket replacements in the past, including chain driven double overhead cams but this will be my first on this make/model engine.

I'll do my best to keep the questions to a minimum and use the search facility as much as I can but apologies in advance if I ask already asked or silly questions.

All advice, tips and tricks gratefully received, thanks.

Welcome to the Forums.

Search is GOOD, but always ASK if unsure, its cheaper.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forums Hamlet,

Superb. I had the earlier Daimler Sovereign Series 1 VdP in the Aegean Blue until I was rear ended waiting at a red light.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...s-i-ii-iii-16/ to the XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
