did nothing to my XJR, just let it rest all week long. My new designated daily driver is the 79 Alfa Romeo Spider. Twin side drafts, not smog legal but goes like the dickens. Will take the cat out this weekend as the wifey will not get near the Alfa...

Thank you, Dani!

I go along and wish you all and your cats a merry, successful, rust- and crash-free new year!


Back to topic:

My "D" got a new battery last Saturday because of traction control system messages at start-up on cold days.

Order the tensioners at the Ford dealer with following part ##:
2W9Z6K254BA
2W9Z6K254CA
You will need 4 bolts for these part# W500301S300

I believe you should be able to order the tensioners and bolts through your local Ford dealer using the part numbers:

Tensioners:
2W9Z6K254BA
2W9Z6K254CA

Bolts (4):
W500301S300
