    Just doodling, and was wondering whether a hook on the catch would make it more convenient to remove the hard top (thereby avoiding the squeeze into the back of the car to undo the two bolts).

    Thanks for the source of new bolts….

    You’re right — the rust stains left by removing the soft-top bracket do look bad….I was thinking of getting a piece of fabric to match the interior upholstery (blue in my case) and velcro-dot’ing it over the top….could even get a matching bit of leather / vinyl.

    You undoubtedly already know this, but being a bit of a tech dinosaur I have only just found out — you can buy a cassette / Bluetooth adaptor which will allow you to play digital (MP3 ?) music thru the cassette player…..if your cassette player is still working.

    The Jaguar XJS Handbook lists the XJ-SC fuel capacity as 81.8ltrs / 18 gals (as opposed to the XJS 90.1ltrs / 20 gals) but I definitely have 60ltrs from running dry at the side of the road to brim full……is the fuel pick-up dangling in the tank ?! Is it possible my pick-up is dangling only 2/3 way in the tank ?

    Anyone got a spare working fuel gauge float assembly ?!

    I haven’t contacted AutoGlym….I suspect they would point to the bit in the instructions where it says ‘try out on a less visible area first…’. I am not quite sure where that would be on a car hood….plus there is the doubt over whether the hood has gone black because it’s wet or because…. it’s gone black ! The cleaning product is colourless/white so I guess it has removed the blue…at least temporarily….still have fingers crossed that it ‘fades’ to blue (perhaps on imminent trip to France, if the sun is shining there). A photo now would just be of…a black hood.

    As a matter of interest, can XJ-SC tops be re-covered ? Where ?
