My XJ-SC this Summer of ’26

Started 27th July 2026 at 21:18 · John Beecroft

In answer to Laurence’s plea for brief news of XJS’s this summer, in July’s Newsletter, here’s my comments.

Well since fitting the Lady Diana rear hard top, which transformed the car as I can now clearly see what’s behind me (!) and Sue doesn’t moan any more about drafts I’ve been enjoying the great weather with the Targas off. She’s been to a number of events in Cheshire, Staffordshire and Shropshire plus general runs out.

I have fitted LED bulbs to the instruments meaning I can now see what’s been shown clearly, a well worthwhile exercise.

I still have problems getting her to idle over 600rpm and I still need to fit the new gearbox remote control rubbers so changing gear is once again as smooth as intended.

Technical comments please re both of these issues gratefully received.

Hope to see you at Woodford in August, enjoy your motoring – Cheers John
