Default Grease Points/Zerk Fittings?

I am looking for grease points on the front and back of my 96 XJ6, but I cannot seem to find any. Are they hidden or is everything sealed? If they are on these cars anyone know how many there are?

THanks

Rear half shaft 'U' joints are the only ones left.

Yep, one on each joint, may still have the rubber dust caps, which may indicate it has NEVER been done since Jaguar did it, mmmmm.

We call them grease nipples, in line with the "femaleness" of the car, haha, and it sounds so much nicer than "zerk" fitting.

Many thanks Grant and MotorCarMan, I found the little buggers after searching a bit, and original dust caps were gone. However it was definately due as it sounded like frying bacon as I pushed out the old grease and it was really black.

This is probably way overlooked by both do it yourselfers and the ***********s. For those who want to find them just dig your finger around in the joint and you will eventually feel it. There is just enough clearance to use a standard grease gun nozzle.

-Thanks again
