Thanks orangeblossom and what a beautiful car you have.. i need to get under the car it seems.. i loved all of your feedback and even added references to some of them in my blog.. you dont get this kind of feedback on other manuufacturers forums.. Jaguars owners are a different class (https://blog.buyanypart.co.uk/for-fo...e-1d3c1710c6c4)

 

Hi Chris

Don't get too excited, I think that 'Cherry Blossom' has just died with a 'dropped valve'

R.I.P. 'Cherry Blossom' April 25th 2017.

I'll put up more details later, in a Separate Post.

 

oh gosh.. So sorry to hear that.. My condolences to you and your Jaguar family

 

Hi Chris

I may have dodged a Bullet, it looks like She could be ok and that 'Tapping' sound may have come from an Arching Coil or Plug Lead.

Which had a dropped Valve sort of Sound about it.
