Hi all, A friend has a barn-find, a 5.3 litre v12 engine off a Jaguar XJS. Unfortunately the rest of the car is missing but he'd like to see if it is a runner or not. It seems to be the later engine with fuel injection but that's as much as I know at the moment. What I was hoping is that...

Up until a few months ago a video of a discussion of the V12 engine led by Raymond Baxter with Walter Hassan and Harry Mundy was available on YouTube. At about 20 to 25 minutes duration the film was fascinating and a wonderful record of the design aspects of the engine. This video has since...

Hi, My big cat has temperature problems in both direction; 1. The AC compressor refuses to engage. It has been thoroughly checked for leaks and filled with cooling agent, but unless I short the switch, it will not engage the compressor clutch. 2. There is little and no respons from the...

Not the same car as the one stopping at temperature. This is a 1986 that just doesn't start. It appears the injectiors don't get the impulse to squirt petrol into the chamber. There is fuel at the rail, the plugs are fine and. when spraying "start spray" into the induction manifolds under...

My 1978 Series 2 BW type 12 gearbox is not registering on the dipstick after being unused for 8 years. The 2 spec. types I have read up on are types: ATF type F to M2C 33F (Duckhams Q-Matic) or M2C 35F. These are obviously from the 1970's, what would be the compatible spec for today's ATF fluid...
