The Knob on the end of the Stalk kept sticking in, so I sprinkled it with Talcum Powder to lubricate and release it, which also works with Car Ariels when they get stuck,

Dead easy to sort out Wiper problems on an XJS as removing for instance a Windscreen Wiper Motor, could be the job from Hell on other Cars. All the Green Tube had gone brittle and hard and so I decided to renew it all, including the Headlight Washer Tubes as well.

The Windscreen Washer Motors with their protective Sheaths which just slip over and wiring them up is as simple as plugging them in. The Newer Washer Motor is the one on the left while the one on the right came out of my Parts Car. But I swapped around the Hoses, so the later style of Washer Motor was used on the Windscreen.

It took me an hour with a Hammer and Chisel to get these Brake Pads out and the same on the other side. I'm putting the blame on small differences in the manufacture depending on where they are made.

After I ground a few thou off each end the Pads fitted easily and the Brakes worked Perfect with no binding. That Wynns Brake Cleaning Fluid is just Awesome!

After shaving a few thou of each end the Pads slip in nice and easy and the Brakes work Perfect and don't bind anymore.

Is this Brake Fluid all the Same? They are both DOT4 but the Tin on the right says Synthetic, though the other one might be as well.

Having applied some Copper Grease a quick burst on the trigger whizzed it back on, after which I tightened it up with a Torque Wrench.

That tiny little Rubber Ring is an Injector Seal Many firms had these priced up at £24 for 12 Bargain or what! That's more than I paid for 12 Spark Plugs! I got 12 of these from Brit Cars for under a Fiver!

The Motor out of the Saw Bench, which runs Clockwise. I was planning to Tap and Drill the Motor Head and then Bolt it together. The Motor and Pump would be used in the Horizontal Position not up on end like this
