      Good evening to all members.
      Please accept my sincere apologies for my late replies.

      I now have an update to my XJS cutting out problem.
      This same fault occurred about a year ago to which the front crankshaft speed sensor was @ fault & duly replaced.
      At the time this work was being carried out it was noted the water pump had a slight leak.
      This water pump leak wasn’t very noticeable & over the year never caused any problems !!!.
      Would you believe it, when my XJS broke down with this same fault as last year due to the faulty speed sensor, Lester the Jag Tec man found that over the year the slight leak from the water pump was finding its way down the front of the engine & causing damage to the electrical sensor sited lower down
      Having the sensor cleaned etc, my XJS is one again running well & a pleasure to drive.

      A new water pump has been ordered !!!.

        Good afternoon Robin.
        Thank you for your reply.
        Its a 1989 xjs v12 5.3 sports convertible.
        This morning I Started the car no problem, it ran well for about 5mins after which time the engine began to falter & cutout altogether.
        It seems when the engine is running up to temperature it starts to lose power.
        The engine cooling system if fine, no leaks, temp gauge reads normal.
        Kind Regards.

          Good evening Laurence.
          Thank you for your reply.
          I will look forward to reading your article.
          Due to a fault on the horn connections I will remove the steering wheel & while im at it remove the display cluster, maybe a bulb gone !!!

          Well done on setting up the new updated soft-top website.

          Andrew.
