Hi my boot /trunk lid on my jag keeps closing on my head.
Any experience with the cause and solution for this problem??
Thanks.

Michael

 

Broken or disconnected springs?

 

Your down here, A BROOM HANDLE, and a CRASH HELMET for the scone.

Some S2 had coil springs on each hinge, and they go off, and get weak, boot lid sag follows quite quickly.

Others had a twin torsion bar arrangement up under the trim panel under the parcel shelf, same fault and end result.

JagDaim in Melbourne used to have rebuilt hinges on an exchange basis, but that was maaaaaany years ago. You will need to identify "coil springs" or NO coil springs first.

 

Yea she has coil springs. Looks like there both still connected but must have lost there spring. I will give Jagdaim a try. Thanks

 

Hi still no luck with the boot lid springs. Has anyone tried retrofitting gas struts before??

 

I suppose you can fit gas struts, Jaguar XJ-40 and later came with struts.

 

Hi, How did you get on with replacing the springs? or did you retro fit some gas struts from an XJ40? I have the same issue and I was considering the retro fit idea!
