Maybe Robin @woodsmoke or Stephen Heywood @stephen-heywood will be able to offer you some advice, or certainly to point you in the right direction.
Do you still have your XJ-SC Cabriolet – is that a different Ignition system.
Cheers,
Laurence
Laurence JonesKeymasterHi Roger @roger ,
Thanks for sharing your news.
Im sure lots members will be interested in hearing more about the LPG conversion. I’d like tonneau to, though to be honest the car that might benefit it most (my V12 XJS Convertible) is the one I can’t do it to, as we take it to Europe through the Tunnel – LPG is banned on Eurotunnel.
Please do let me have an article about the veneer restoration – membership@xjs-soft-tops.com and I’ll publish it for everyone to read.

Laurence JonesKeymasterHi John @geeegafaaol-com
I’m starting to plan Club Meet Ups for 2018 and I was wondering whether your Convertible was in the process of being restored or is on the road and might be brought along to a meet up.

Laurence JonesKeymasterHi Tony @dtony1964
Can you give us some more details – is it that the hood (roof) doesn’t reach the top of the windscreen and you have a gap and have to pull the hood into place ?
Thanks,
Laurence

I was just wondering whether you’ve had time to look around the Club website and was hoping you might reply to the Welcome Message.
Cheers,
Laurence
Laurence JonesKeymasterI’d be happy if I could get mine to looking that good as a result of my own efforts 🙂

Laurence JonesKeymasterHi Mike @mikethemechanic
It was good to see you and your wife at the Meet up at The Old White Beare last Sunday – thanks for coming.
Please keep in touch and watch out for future Meet ups at local Car Shows or another Social Event near you.
Cheers,

Laurence JonesKeymasterHi Paul @paulus
I was wondering if you’d had time to take a look around our Club website yet, and might let us know what you think ?
Laurence
Laurence JonesKeymasterHi Stuart @stuartmclachlan
I think we all know how much our Jaguars cost to restore once rust and rot sets in 🙁
Are you doing any of the work yourself or have you left the car in the hands of a local garage ? Do you have any pictures ?
We’ve not had a Club meet up in Scotland, maybe we’ll try and organise one next year – though it depends how far up in Scotland you live !
Laurence
Laurence JonesKeymasterThanks I’ve passed the information on.
I’ll write this up as an Information Article for future reference for other Club Members.

26th November 2017 at 17:12 in reply to: Help with a problem gap between hood and side window on XJ-SC Cabriolet #9742Laurence JonesKeymasterHi 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.
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.
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

Even though it was a wet/snowy day we had 3 XJ-SC Cabriolets turn out 🙂

It was Mark Thorley’s @m164 Birthday today, so we all woke the restaurant up and sand him “Happy Birthday” and presented him with a Birthday Cake (which he shared).
Thanks to everyone who came, and see you all again sometime in 2018Laurence

@mikethemechanicLaurence JonesKeymasterHi Peter @maher
Thanks for telling us so much about your Cabriolet. I have split off the question around you hood fitting issue into a separate technical topic, so hopefully you’ll get some good help now.
Have you seen we are running a Club trip to the Isle of Man the first weekend in May – it’s a UK Bank Holiday. We have 3 XJ-SC Cabriolets registered and a couple of other Soft Tops members having a think about join us. Maybe you could come across on the Ferry from Dublin and Join us.
Here’s the link if you’ve not found it yet Isle of Man Tour
Cheers,
Laurence
Laurence JonesKeymasterHello James @jimbo

21st November 2017 at 09:32 in reply to: Sunday Lunch meet up – The White Beare, Halifax, at 12:30 #9599Laurence JonesKeymasterWe have around 14 members and guests booked for lunch this Sunday – a mixture of XJS Soft Tops Club members and Greater Manchester JEC Region members.
Looks like there should be at least 3 XJ-SC Cabriolets in attendance – just hope weather is good and we can take some time to look around them.
Please get in touch if you’re planning to come and haven’t let me know yet – I need to resereve space in the Restaurant.
Cheers,
Laurence
