Ha ha - love the startup! Would be interesting to see just how much easier this is to maintain vs. an XJS. So much more room to work with and access components!

I made my own fuel injection harness, cleared out all the vacuum stuff apart from the essentials distributor, brake servo, ECU and trans modulator, custom ignition system, custom fuel pressure regulator and fuel system so far the engine has not missed a beat, I did want to prove that Jaguars can be reliable and so far its only the TM400 I have a problem with.

Swapped out the transmission a few weeks back and now I have a running truck again, put 50 miles on it just tooling around still trying to get a feel for the handling slowly increasing my speeds and acceleration so far so good, have a modified TPS I want to fit and a few other mods.
