Hello,

what tools do I need for common repairs. Is it all metric, inch or both?

With Kind Regards

Tom

 

Well you're going to need a rear brake caliper tool, to screw the caliper in rather than push it!

 

Hello Haggis95,

I don't speak about special tools. I mean ordinary tools, like spanners. Do I need metric or inch spanners, or both?

With Kind regards

Tom

 

AFAIK you need metric spanners and sockets.

The changeover for Jaguar started at the XJ6/12 Series 3 from 1979, when imperial and metric nuts and bolts were used. The XK 6-cylinder engine, for instance, was always imperial. The AJ-6 engine that replace it was metric, I believe. I am not sure about the V12, because these were made up to 1992. It was probably Ford that enforced a full conversion to metric in the early 90s.
