What did you do to or buy for your XJ-S/XJS today?

I guess you could say I purchased this for my 87 XJSC. I had a few spokes leaking air on one of my wheels. So I purchased a manual tire changer, broke it down and cleaned it, then resealed the spokes where they came through the rim. Works great. Cheaper than sending it back to Dayton Wheels and better than a Inner Tube. Also bought a Horn Relay, but still did not fix that.

Good work!
Are those fuel lines original to the car? If so, you might wanna add them to your "to do" list.
Cheers

Sound advice Doug! Braided line is ordered already. And custom fuel rails are in the works as well! Any advice on an actual good technique for extracting these lines from the grip of those tiny steel washer clamps? I understand that is quite difficult.
New snakes for the snake pit are also on the way. Red ones! Taylor 10.4mm, 50 ohms/ft.
And before anyone points it out for me... Yellow fan. I know. Checked again. Still safe. Going with efans and a custom shroud. Still working out the design there. Soon.

I'm currently taking my new old XJ6 axle apart. It is exactly, apart from a weld, the same as the XJ-S version. Probably due to a change in construction methods.
The PITA are again my favorite parts: the ful-scum shafts... Bloody f**king little pi**ers... We decided to create a new curse here: Custard. A mix of c**t and bast**d. That has been used quite a lot on my old axle...

Got myself a 'Discarnect' Battery Isolation Switch £3-45 on ebay! and fitted it on my 1990 XJS V12
I've also got one on one of my other XJS V12's and wouldn't be without it, as its one of the best pieces of kit that I have ever bought as it eliminates any accidental Battery Drain and as a result my Car always Starts First Time!
And also re-plumbed the Windscreen Washers to get them working again for the MOT.

I mounted a Climatron A/C amplifier from Jag Prestige in Australia to replace the original C45402
It was a pleasure to hear flaps moving and to get some else than cold air at high fan speed from the vents...

At the same time I mounted the LH side air channel from the main unit sourced from Just XJS. Nice to be able to fix the cover next to my right foot properly now.

Well, more POr15, as my can dried out (seemed a little hole was still in the lid), some copper ease, some nitrile gloves and a partridge in a pear-tree!
Time to assemble that front subframe - at last!
The first of the jobs to finish (without the brakes as I won't be driving the old gal for a few more months).
