Cool Good and bad news...

Well guys, I have some good and bad news...

GOOD: Got the brake pads, disks, lines, master cylinder and proportioning valve replaced and fitted. And cured the misfire. Turned out to be that I tightened one of the spark plugs too much and ruined the cable. Replaced it and it's now running PERFECT!

BAD: Fuel line sprung a leak so now I need to replace that.

So all-in-all it's made good progress!

I'm soon going to be a XJ-S man!
