Hi Woodsmoke and thanks for posting, I have the book you refere too, as Ducan did a photo shoot for me with my pre he v12 coupe and its from looking at the picture that got me thinking , if I cant get one I will try and make one. I would dearly love to get hold of an original one but after 20 odd years searching I have given up If you Know of one going please let me know thanks and kind regards Bryan
Further to my discussion , I would like to point out that the buffeting is most apparent only when the solid hard top is fitted hence the need for the wind deflector. I never have a problem with the soft top possibly because the soft top section is more flexable
The picture above is of the wind deflector I made, by useing a right angled piece of trim I had laying about that had come from a XJS convertible that had the locker box and trim removed. I have only seen pictures of the original one but it looked like it might do what I wanted.It was already covered in Magnolia trim one side so all I needed to do was cover the other side , I had some spare headliner material which I glued on, I then finished off with some plastic edging strip . Next job was to align it up in the centre. After removal of the targa tops I removed one 2ba screw from each of the locker latch brackets in the top front of the windscreen, Then holding the deflector up to determine the space needed to allow for the interior light I marked where to drill the fixing holes. Putting the Chrome screws from the targa brackets safely to one side I found suitable longer screws with washers and fitted the deflector. I know its not as pretty as the original and it don’t fold back but it does what I wanted and stops the buffeting . The down side is of course having to change back every time, but there again if you only have a hard top in place and you want to enjoy your cabriolet to the full its worth considering making your own . Regards Bryan.
Hi Laurence according to our records Vin 125607 is not a cabriolet nearest is Vin 125606
Welcome James, If you need any advise or help please feel free to ask. Ive been a 3.6 cabriolet owner for over 20 years now, so I know a little bit about them regards Bryan Thomas.
That’s a nice looking Machine you have there Laurence. You probably need a change of brake fluid , and a good bleed through. The weather is very good here today, which is quite unusual for this time of year
Thanks Laurence, Its nice to be back. Hope to see you at an event in the near future
I have managed to find on ebay a ECU same as the one fitted to my car that’s supposedly in good working order so I’m going to see if this cures my hot start problem fingers crossed
