Unhappy '87 XJS V12 , , FNG here

Inherited this beat up old car from my Dad. Would like to fix it up enough to keep it on the road (in his memory) My sister found the repair manual where we see notes about elec. problems in his hand writing. I like seeing things he wrote.
My last attempted car save was Diahatsu Rocky 4x4 little jeep. It didnt go well.
Blown head gasket twice.........I gave up

Welcome to the forum apup76,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I Know you've already found your way to the XJS tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the USA Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link USA Mid Atlantic - MD VA DC DE WV - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
