Right, so since getting the car 9 months ago I have replaced a broken lower suspension arm due to it not pivoting, just breaking. Replaced the headlining, great job, a bit scary but managed without removing the seats. Side repeaters and reflectors changed all clear now. Changed the plugs for NGK Iridium ones, (huge difference in throttle response). Fitted a Fuel Cat filter, as I had one on a Lancia Delta turbo previously which made a big difference. ABS/ASC warning light on interrmittently so changed nearside ABS sensor, no change, then the cable, which solved it today. Just been for a test drive and aware of a bit of clunking from front so best check out Powerflex bushes for wishbones. I really want to change the grill and tail pipes for straight throughs. ...Anyhow the question is what do you think is next that is going to stop me doing the fun stuff ? Al

 

I had my 2005 XKR for 4 months & the spending started....Battery, Secondary Restraints Module, Drivers seat belt light/module, Rear suspension bushes, Anti Roll bar bushes, Drivers seat skin, Throttle Body clean out & Rear tyres, next is the Fuel filter but as yet not sure how to relieve the pressure in the system.
As one Jag owner to another...eat bread & water but keep the cat on the road!.

Great, thanks for this. As long as its not just me !!

 

Feel glad that's your list! It pales in comparison to mine but I love my car!
Btw, I have three mesh grilles I'm getting rid of. Two black and one stainless steel. Pm me if interested!

 

What is a Fuel cat filter?

 

OK this is supposed to do lots of magical stuff as per their website. All I know is I fitted one to a Lancia Delta Turbo years ago. It was only supposed to run on leaded fuel, as this was being phased out this allowed it to run on unleaded which it did with no pinking or associated problems. I figured if it possibly helps with the XK what harm can it do. No noticeable increase in mpg but convinced it picks up and pulls better.

Did you go for the in tank or the in line unit?

Went for the inline version, tucked engine side of fuel filter in wheel arch behind the cover.

Fuelcat sounds a bit too good to be true to me, the website link above is more believable.
