I am considering to have a solid and strong spring tensioner made here for my X308, following the instructions of an UK forum member who did the same.

The main rod will be a long piece of 19mm or so threaded bar, drilled for an 8mm roll pin, and cut it so it sticks out 13/14mm each side of the bar.

This will work for the X308, but can anyone who did so for an XJ-S confirm if the same will work for the XJ-S (Daim??).
I seem to remember even the X300 has a smaller entrance, so I am not sure if there is sufficient room for the 19mm bar / 8mm pin on a XJ-S.

 

Should work. You just need to make sure the spring pan is held in place on the angle and that you have two guides, which fill the holes in the spring pans perfectly. Otherwise you'll be fighting with the screws.

 

I don't really know what language this is, but I think I get the point
Thanks Daim!

 

Oh, bloomin' German phone fighting me writing English... I'll edit it...

 

Really?


My phone is an older flip phone. Only sorta smart. I don't even try. Just a backup and to get me home via a flat bed if one of my old cars quits when I'm out and about. Kids try to get me a real smart phone. I resist mightily.


But, this keyboard is definitely USA. Does it come up with words in a different language? Absolutely.


I've not ventured in to "psot" edits. Deliberate typo. Mebbe someday...

Yes it really is fighting me. Due to me more so communicating here in German (as I live here and most of my friends being German), it has the German dictionary as a main "setting". So any time I write "have" it turns to "habe" which is the same word, just German meaning the same... And the autocorrection sees it as a typo, as the V and B are next to eachother on German keyboards...

And if I by accident place a b instead of a "space" between two words, it will not correct it as it doesn't know what the English words are... Dreadful trying to write a different language from a phone...

Should you finally manage to spell it right, then autocorrect will change it back and forth a few times untill you get angry and in the end force it to learn a new word...

 

Daim,

On my phone I turned autocorrect off, but left the suggestion pane. I can then accept what it thinks I am typing, or continue using words not in it's dictionary and it won't change them. Very useful for all sorts of technical terms that are not in a general dictionary, and much less frustrating!

 

Tried it with my poxy phone... Am just waiting for the new Note 8 to be released (no, I have a Note 4 at the moment)

 

I also struggle with multiple languages ...

I downloaded Google keyboard on my Android phone, which has a one-key-change-language operation, and you just set your preferred languages.
