Newbie Intro...and need help
Hi Guys
Good to be aboard...will start with a little history:
New to Big Cat ownership, with a 1989 XJS HE (photos in gallery). Previous owner has upgraded with comp AJ6 (no haters please) mech kit, believe she was a Jap market import and has 80K kms on the clock, so i have a good base for Aust conditions...(heat and loooong highway drives).
Have plans to drive her alot in the next 3mths and then do a few 'tasteful' resto-mod style upgrades, but have changed out ski slope (thanks to British Autowood), upgraded to 17" wheels (photos to come) and am in process of LED interior work. Next step front susp upgrade (bushes and sway bar...so wish me luck)
Now for the question...i have just bought a Nardi wood steering wheel but the adapter supplied (from manufacturer) appears to be incorrect size, despite great detail supplied.
After deep Google-ing, i have noticed there is an issue with this regularly due to a number of spline changes through model(s)...
Can anyone give me some guidance here...or tell me how they sourced correct parts please????

Welcome from me too
Sounds like you have had a Jag before going by your post.
Aust? Is that for Australia or Austria? Assume Oz which then leads to where you might be,big Island this one.
Sorry no help on the splines,out of expertise but I'm sure the XJS mob will know.
Glad you joined and hope you get your answers,Neil

WA because of the plastic "Roadbend Jag" rego plate frames or Queensland because of the Queensland rego plates. And that is fairly recent Qld rego combo. (1 1/2-3 years old)

Welcome to the forum, I'll take a punt and say Western Australia or a Queenslander!

And the 'West' part of this lucky man to own an XJ12 could be a clue too.

Certainly a PROUD Aussie...residing in QLD, but a Cockroach at heart!!! (Clarke's detective work a good sign for future queries for sure)
First time Jag owner, but quickly understanding it wont be the last (or only) and 'knowledge' has only been from Web searches at this stage.
History of XJS appears to be WA (Grey) import from Jap market and has been mildly restored (Paintwork and interior parts...not the greatest job to be honest) before making her way to sunny QLD and a life on the GC.
