I have noticed a little inconsistency in the tickover of my recently acquired 1994 DD6 and was reading through the Jaguar Monthly XJ40 Engineering bookazine and whilst reading the ‘XJ40 V12 Buying & Servicing’ article spotted a mention of ‘incorrect throttle adjustment’ and as I am not happy about the tickover on mine I read further and it says ‘Check also the rubber bushes on the butterfly spindle shafts’. So I did and I noticed straight away a load of play, no sign of a bush on the nearside plus what looks like the remnants of a ‘bush’ on the offside. I went to the appropriate page on the Jaguar parts website (https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.../brand/jaguar/) but it doesn’t show any bush, although it does show a circlip which mine hasn’t got! I’ve also checked the equivalent illustration on the XJ81 and S3 XJ12 pages which are identical to the X300 one. So, no part numbers - I don't particularly want to get into making custom bushes as I'm sure someone sells them. Any advice or comments or name of supplier/part number.
Thanks

 

What most commonly fails, and I what I suspect you're asking for, is part number C34388, Item #24 in this illustration

Nice find Doug, Master of All Jaguar Needs!

An important little bush indeed. That's why they are 5 quid apiece and can only be had in packs of 5! It's good to have spares, right?

I need some too, I have a side with a piece of rubber hose in a supporting role. I think it's the "nearside" one.

Robert, be sure to get the linkages correct so they open equally. If not you'll get a MAP sensor code due to the mismatch. That also indicates that one bank is working harder than the other.

What is this "2004 X305" you refer to in your signature?

 

Hi Richard

oops bit of a typo in the signature - it's a 1994!! Thanks

Robert
