Hi Leo

That's so kind of you but I'd really miss turning up there in my Grey XJS (while its still running!)

I'm glad to hear it's not as dire as you'd feared!

For what it's worth, I still recommend a good bourbon.

So big lesson out there for everyone, unless you want to end up replacing all the Calipers, renewing all the Brake Hoses, replacing all the Brake

Pads, Buying 4 New Tyres.

Then by being Scared to death when the Engine Starts to make Strange Noises

I could go on but I'm sure you have got the idea...........

And then you wonder why it isn't working!

Oh yea, I know what you mean. Just a month ago got my XJS back on the rode after about 2yrs of work, some blood, tears and a few explicit words. all new fuel hose, injectors, cooling and vacuum line, along with cleaning the motor going thru all the wiring under the bonnet, cleaned some parts, replace a few. some picture of the product in ,y album area, but sure you have seen my past post on it
