We also appear to have lost a number of the discussion topics and replies, which might have occurred when I had to restore some of the data 🙁

Hi Kees,
What a stunning colour, and I love that you have the wheel caps in matching colour.

Hello Peter – @PDT1966
There are a number of members who do have the Hard Top so hopefully one or two will respond to your request for information.
Do you know if you have all the necessary catches on the Hard Top itself, and the ones you need on the car – or is this some of the questions you have ? I did have a hard top when I first had the car (but sold it on), and seem to recall you need to remove the soft top’s mechanism and replace it with a catch, but I stand to be corrected by someone who still has one.
Cheers,
Laurence
Thanks Jim, I’ll add that to my article notes.

Thanks for putting together such an informative Album about your Cabriolet.
I do like the fact that you say your aim is keeping the changes in period and tasteful, and from your descriptions and pictures I’d say you are doing that well.
Laurence
Thanks Dean, I’ll make sure we’ve got those details recorded on the Cabriolet Register.

Hi Dave
I’d agree with you regarding once the fuel pump was running and everything pressurised, as having had a fuel pipe split in the boot of my XJS, I can indeed confirm that you’d soon notice – a very large amount of fuel came out very quickly !!

That’s great to hear you’re really enjoying your car – hopefully you’ll be able to upload some photos and add them into a Car Album to let others see how it is coming together.

Hi Clas
I’m not sure if you received any answers to your question, as there has been some recent technical issues with the Club’s website (see separate discussion topic).
It is my understanding that you can indeed exchange the American bumper for the European, and vice versa – this being done when folks have imported cars in the past into Europe from America.
Cheers,
Laurence
Hi Neal,
That is quite a find, well done you.
I will take a look at my Cabriolet to check for you.
Laurence
I’ve just written and added a brief article (Found Here) that gives some more detail about the changes that the Club’s website has undergone with the March 2022 release.

Welcome @dogbitefred.
These forums are just the place to introduce yourself and ask questions if you have any 🙂
Hopefully one of our Members will have the answer for you

Hi @geoffconnor
The Targa roof is in two sections, one over the drive and one over the passenger. There is a leaver on each targa panel, which you pull down and turn (this unlocks the targa panel). You need to remove the targa panels in the right order, as one overlaps the other.

13th March 2022 at 20:08 in reply to: Production Figures – Update Convertible – 4L – Manual Getrag 265 gearbox #19093Hi @tobr
I think I read somewhere that the 4litre Convertible was only available with a manual gearbox option until 1987 when an automatic gearbox option was available. That might mean there were quite a few produced in the early years of production, but towards the end when yours was produced it might have been a lot lower with more folks going for the automatic.
I’ll keep my eye out for some official statistics.
Laurence
Hi Colin,
I think this discussion thread is a great idea.
I’ve sketched out a draft instruction guide in our Articles area – New Targa rubbers replacement but it is strictly a work in progress guide. It will need to be updated with exactly the feedback that you’ve suggested is recorded here in this discussion thread – practical hands on answers from members who have undertaken his job.
Thanks,
Laurence
Hi Martin @martinhaley
Do you know what sort of items this company undertakes to remanufacture ?
