Default New member hello and first question

Hi all -

New SIII 86 XJ6 owner and have been absorbing info about my new car for months. Finally joining and have a quick question. She ran a year ago, but not now so I have a game plan for fuel and spark debug thanks to the awesome posts and guides I have found. I am collecting my tools and techniques and my last item is the fuel injector noid kit. I see many out there on Amazon, so looking for some education on which I should buy. A particular brand / number is great info or just some spec I need to look for. Thanks!!

Dirty but very "clean". One family ownership, bought by grandfather in Long Island, father had it in Florida and son in Raleigh. Only 80K and the son spent $25000 in paint, new dash, dash wood, new exhaust, tons of other fixes... and my bill was under $5K

Welcome ! Nice looking Jag. Good luck getting it running. Problably wont take much, looks like a well looked after car, More than likely is got a seized up fuel pump. That's where I'd start. Also search about adding the WIX pre pump filters.

Welcome to the Forum. Looks like a great car, just needs some DIY TLC. I agree, start with the simple things first. Save the injectors until you have exhausted the easy things.

Looks a nice example. Good luck breathing life back into it. Make sure you are as happy with the brakes as you are about it firing up again. Dont ask me why I recommend that :-)

Very Nice!
It also shows how true it is, that no matter how Very Nice our car might look, and no matter what kind of care, upkeep, restorations we do, we will only ever get back a mere Fraction of our "investment" when it's sold. My own car is another example of this very thing.

I've always thought we do this not as a true Investment but as a Hobby to keep us out of the bars.

Congratulations on a good deal well made and a Beautiful example of a True Classic!
