Can anyone share with me the location of the hydraulic reservoir on a 1996 XJS 2+2. The top does not raise and I believe the fluid is low. It will go thru all cycles, bu the top will just "jiggle" a bit, not raise.

 

Welcome to the forum twaone,

I've copied this question from your Intro. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

I am still trying to learn this site. I hope it will be helpful. I have had my 1998 XJ8L for 9 years. Love driving it. It did experience the timing chain failure. Thank goodness for the extended warranty! Thank you for your welcome and assistance.

It's in the trunk behind the cover on the right hand side as you face the open trunk.

I think I have a blown seal as the reservoir is empty and there is fluid in the trunk. However, it is not "Green" as others have mentioned in various forums.
