New XJ Supersport owner - project!
Hi everyone, greetings from the UK.
I just bought a 2012 XJ Supersport with speed pack... really cheap. Story is the old engine seized, a replacement has been installed with new chains, guides etc, but the garage doing it went bust... so it needs some more assembly to finish. It was delivered to my house with open cans of oil in the rear footwells, bags of injectors, coil packs, bolts... the boot has the rest of the coolant pipes etc... but I'm sure the cat will roar again. 98k miles and appears to have been well looked after inside and out.
I could really do with the workshop manuals so I'm hoping that writing an intro will help speed me into trusted member citizenship
My plan is to get the injectors tested and cleaned and run through everything as I reassemble it, check the cylinders with a borescope while I have the chance, etc. Not sure why the injectors are out, you'd have thought they would have changed / tested them before the engine was put in the car, there's probably a story there (it wouldn't surprise me if the replacement engine had new ones, they've been pinched and I've been given an old set
).
