Thanks Gents
This is interesting , and I’d like your thoughts on an issue I am chasing , and whether this may be the issue.
I have a 9/87 XJSC with a manual 5speed in it, I have been chasing for some time, and annoying gremlin, that I wonder if the absence of the above modification ( I’m not sure whether its been done or not ) could be the cause of.
When driving lightly , and approaching a roundabout , or bend etc, and I back of the accelerator and ‘coast’ through or around bend/ roundabout, upon re- applying slight throttle, at the very first application I get an annoying miss/ hesitation / jerk from the engine, and then the car is off again, if I drive spiritedly around said bend / roundabout, keeping revs up with a blip of throttle and higher revs, no such, hesitation / miss / jerk occurs.
Could the absence of above modification be the cause?
Thanks Laurence
I signed up to the webpage, as I was handed a Jaguar Magazine (Edition 182 I think?) that had an article on XJSC, and that a record of them was trying to be established, I thought I’d help out- I think my car is already ‘known’ though
It now happily resides in Adelaide, it has had a front end suspension rebuild, and now I’m tackling the interior gremlins- heater controls / AC etc.
After that it is marked for a diff replacement, from a 2.88 to a 3.54.
I’m happy to post more pics if wanted?
The car has a 5spd manual fitted to it – not sure if that is sacrilege or not to other members on the site – apologies if so.. It does make for a fantastic drive through the Adelaide hills though….
Hi Bleasie
Please excuse some of my ignorance on many things Jag, I’m still learning
I bought this car from a gent in Far North NSW , Pip Nicholls? he told me he brought the car to Australia , may be he didn’t?The photo attached is one I took only a month back or so… I can send more if you wish. But I have a feeling you know a lot more about the car than me…… so any info is greatly appreciated.
I saw your favourite quote about if Jag intended, jag would have made……
Confession time – My V12 is 5spd,
got a feeling you knew that maybe aswell though….
