"Ran when parked"

Hello. A few weeks ago I decided to bring home a neglected '82 XJS HE. This isn't my first time bringing a car back from the brink, but it is my first Jag. How hard could it be to reserect a V12, right

Welcome to the forum bran3b,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJS forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

You can also visit the US Central Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-central-36/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Welcome.

Well done.

Simple car really. You will need, Bandaids (MANY), Alcohol (GALLONS), language increase, patience (LOTS OF), and thats about it.

Good luck.
