1975 Series II - I have my dash out and am cleaning up various PO mis-steps. I noticed this last night. It looks like a PO has unplugged a previous version of something and installed this white cylinder unit. It's labeled CLIMATRON and has the same plug a what's attached to the yellow thingy. Any ideas as to what it is and what it does?


Thanks, Bill

 

that cylinder is a replacement a/c Amplifier made in Australia and sold by John's Cars in the USA. The old amplifier was left in place because they are almost impossible to remove.

 

I KNEW you would know! Many thanks.

 

the factory amplifier is buried deep behind the radio in a straight line towards the firewall and clamped in place with a sharp steel bracket that slices through skin. Ask me how I found out!

 

Ouch!

 

I've not had the "opportunity" to mess with that feature.
but, each time, I get under the dash, I empathize with the guys at Coventry that built them. Teeny screws, etc.


And, I removed the bracket on the firewall that the relays were. secured to. The teeniest of a bolt and nut. More upside down and twisted body to get it out!!!My body that is....

Carl,

Contortions!

I wonder what it took to build just ONE XJ-6. These cars were built by hand, no robotics.

 

Mhh....I was experiencing problems with the original part and was thinking of changing it for this one....


The airco would randomly choose a temperature....mostly full heat....
Fiddled around with the controls until the system went to full cooling mode and pulled the inline fuse.....nice and cool interior now ;-)
