Hi Peter @maher
It would be good if you could let us see some photos – if you can’t load them up then just email them to me Membership@xjs………
I am not aware of any cables in the Cabriolet hood – the XJS Convertible yes, but not the Cabriolet’s. When the top of the hood is engaged properly with the T-Bar and fully clicked home then both sides should be tight to the rubber seals along the frame that retains the rear side windows.
If this isn’t happening then possibly the caterlever assembly may be assembled incorrectly – just a guess.
I’ve taken a couple of photos.

This white piece should sit firmly against the window frame of the rear side windows.[photo 1098]
This shows the catch, either side of the car, that the bar at the top of the hood should engage with. If you don’t have these slotted in on each side I doubt you’d be able to get the top of the hood to engage with the two targa catches, so I’m guessing you’ve not got a problem here.[photo 1090]
Bit difficult to see in this photo, but this is what it should like within the car when the hood is fully closed and locked in place. No gap here between the hood itself and the window frame of the rear side window.Anyone, as Alan said, please let us have a couple of photos and we’ll try and help

Hi Stig @stigmoltu-jacobsen
I have previously been told, that the gauge I the Convertibles and Cabriolets is still calibrated as if it were in the Coupe’s fuel tank – the Convertible and Cabriolet tanks are smaller though. The net effect is that when our smaller tanks are physically full (almost overflowing) the gauge shows about 3/4 full.
I always carry 1 gallon can of fuel in the 3.6 and 4 litre cars and two 1 gallon cans when using the V12

I’ve written out to all Club members who have late model Cabriolets, and of those that replied none have ABS fitted.

Hello Douglas @douglashall
I know of a company in Scotland who do this as a replacement service – that you install yourself on the car – BAS International
Hopefully a member closer to you can recommend somewhere.

Hi Claudiu @kadudu
I have these bars, if they are the same as on your hood

LaurenceHi,
I am just adding the finishing touches to this month’s newsletter – I will add a request to that for you Claudiu and hope a Club Member can help.

Hi John @bleasie
You may recall we discussed this via email a couple of weeks ago, and I explained that indeed Denis had sold his Cabriolet 124809 and it was now in Malta, but if you checked out Denis’s profile entry it showed as Still owned = No.
In the email you sent me you mention that it was sold to Ron Azzopardi (who is not a member) but above you state Roland Cassar (who is a member).
Does that mean Denis sold it to Ron who has sold it to Roland ?

Pascal @forliteur Ce n’est pas un probleme monsieur.
I have corrected the title from BAC5587 to BCC5587 🙂
So, you are looking for the catch for the Hard Top hood. I’m afraid that’s not something I’ve seen available – the Hard Top hoods themselves are quite difficult to obtain.
Sorry, hopefully someone else might be able to help.
