My Indispensable Infra Red Thermometer came in very handy for Checking the Temperature in the Loft during Winter.

This is the 'Cut Out' that shuts the Car down in the event of an accident. Push the blunt end of a pencil down the hole of this cover in order to Push down the Button Inside and re-lock it.

Does anyone know the Tread Size and Fitting Size of this Cone Fitting that goes into the Oil Cooler Pipes under the Radiator where the Rubber Pipes from the Oil Cooler used to fit.

Is it possible to buy 'Non Kink' Hydraulic Hose to recreate this fitting without incorporating the Metal Pipe. There would just be the fitting Crimped on each end.

Make sure the Plug and Socket on the Resistor Pack are Clean. The Silver Box is located by the RHS Headlight Nacelle at the Front of the Car.

Resistor Pack on a Marelli XJS A dirty Plug and Socket can play Havoc with the Injectors. Similar setup on a Lucas Car.

No Start or Engine Won't Turn Over? Check the Leads on the 'Fusible Link' where they are Clamped to the Positive Lead with Cable Ties.

Half way along the Fuel Pipe, it changes to a different size, what would I do about that?

You can 'just' see the Jubilee Clip hiding under that thicker pipe, where the Brake Pipes come out of the ABS Master Cylinder Actuator.

Don't ask me how but some how this Fuel Pipe has melted, or maybe it was that Steel Clip?

These Rubber Rollers are Solid and no longer revolve and in any event I cannot get the bolts out as they are corroded into the handle and won't come undone.

I bought these Pipe Benders for £2 at a Yard Sale as they were corroded solid and wouldn't move but I managed to free the arms of with a FBH.

Plenty or room for a Windscreen Washer Bottle and there is even the old bracket from the Car Alarm Siren that I removed to attach it to.

Not bad for £20 but they didn't include any Welding Rods, so I can't try it out till Tomorrow.

Always a bit of a punt buying stuff at an Auction, so lets hope the box is not just full of house bricks.

8 Spanners only £2 the lot I've bought exactly the same before and found them to be unbreakable, even when I've hit them with a FBH.

Temporary Bridging Pipe, as used by the PO on his own Car but on my Car (Pictured) the drop down elbow makes it hang Too Low. So I'm planning to have another one made from a less heavy duty material. But would it Blow the Engine, if that Pipe got a Kink, that either restricted or cut off the Oil Flow through this Bridging Pipe?

Where to Site a New Header Tank? On this side the Brake Pump is right in the way. Not the same on a Lucas Car, where space can be made.

The Resistor Pack on my Marelli XJS V12 located on the Right Hand Side by the Headlight Nacelle. A dirty plug and socket can play havoc with the Injectors. So try and get it as clean as this and the same with the Socket. A Lucas Car has a very similar Set up.

Who said owning an XJS was Cheap, these little Square Cut 'O' rings £24! for 12! That's about the Same as I paid for 12 Spark Plugs! I got 12 of these 'O' Rings for about £5 from Brit Parts. It pays to Shop around for this sort of Stuff.
