Default I have bitched a lot about my Jag,but

It was literally one thing after another all at one time so I got pissed.
Drove it today and it has never ran better, no heat problems, etc.

Going to keep the Jag if you guys will help me out.
I want to get everything working and replace what needs to be.
So far I have.
Replaced front shocks,
Replaced all coolant hoses-12,
Replaced thermostats,
Flushed radiator and motor,
Replaced fan clutch,
Replaced Dizzy and rotor,
I replaced the 2 fuel lines
I bought the 2 coils but cannot get to the bottom one as the bolt heads are toward the firewall.

I need new fan blade tried all automotive stores in OKC, Oklahoma and no luck,
I want to change spark plugs but don't know how to get to all of them,
I want to replace the other fuel lines that have crimps but don't know where to get them.
I want to stop the oil leaks but have no idea where they are coming from.

Antenna needs replaced or fixed is in up position.

I have to raise, lower top by hand, the motor does work and fluid is leaking somewhere but I can't see any fluid that has leaked out, I filled it up and now is empty and has not leaked on the ground and not in the hydraulic motor compartment.

Rear passenger window will not go down, rear driver side goes down and up.

Wiper washer container will not hold water and I don't know where it is, I know where to put the water in.

If you all can tell me where to get these items I will start repairs and I will post when I need info.

Thank you for reading

My XJS is on the same journey. Replaced the water pump, coolant hoses, hose clamps, thermostats, flushed the radiator and engine, replaced the dizzy and rotor, got new tires. Then the battery died, so I replaced that. Now the steering is acting up. Sooner or later the old lady will run out of ways to annoy me and will just run.
