Well, no, not all the work is done myself. Not from a lack of desire or from contempt for whatever bizarre magic goes on under that big bit of painted metal in front of the windscreen (does it even open?). It's simply a matter of practicality: in addition to working on average 7 days a week (the joy of being self-employed: you don't turn work down if you can help it), I don't have a garage or any similar space to work on her. But I have done some smaller jobs myself, and totally intend to tackle the replacement of the heater core as well. I'm starting out by tackling jobs that won't render the car unable to be driven to the shop if and/or when I screw up....

Ah, in that case, the main flexible has been replaced, at least. So I can add half a mark there.
COMPO, always wore his wellies.

Default 1991 XJS Convertible

What year of XJS are you looking for. A buddy of mine heads a charity and an elderly lady donated a 1991 XJS Converitble with 78k miles. Good condition, Single owner V12 but automatic not manual like you were looking for.
