My first 2 years of ownership
Here is an overview of more or less what I have done with the car the last 2 years. Did not include any polishing etc
It is quite a lot .Not everything necessary, but it might be interesting information for those of you who consider buying an old jag...

That's a huge list! I bet the car feels like a different beast since you bought it. O should say that I've owned my first Jag since April 2017, so I'm fast approaching 2 years of ownership. Besides a good service when I bought the car the only actual items I've needed to do are
4 new tyres refurbished alternator crankshaft position sensor everything else Ive done has been refurbishment work that I've wanted to do, like 700 odd quid on just the ac with new hoses ad that. Still got the rust to sort too. Can't wait to get new rear dampers on, pretty sure they are the originals, drifts about at high speed and rattles on back end over rutted surfaces |
You're right it's a different car now. You can look forward to changing shocks. Mine also had the originals and after I changed them the car felt so much more tight and secure at higher speeds.

Was the video before or after Andy bracket on the crankshaft position sensor ?
Your video is kind of a , kind of a , kind of a turn on , especially when the engine cuts out and the science why |
Haha.. Glad you like it.
The videos were recorded after I had installed the bracket. |
It seems to have gone through an unusual number of spark plugs .......

Graham I guess iridium plugs would have worked fine once the maf and sensors was replaced. |

Well.. It was just a matter of finding the correct ones.. The first two pairs were swapped because of faulty maf and o2 sensors a d i was still trying to find the exact culprit for the stalling issues. As soon as this was corrected I decided to go with regular ngk instead of iridium as many reported that the car might dislike these.
