Rolf it sounds lovely, look forward to seeing the photos when you get chance and your appraisal of it here in due course 🙂
Jon, hopefully I’ll get to see you and your Cab at Warwick later in the year so I can take a proper look and photos:-)
As a newby to Jaguar ownership 31mpg is sounding great for such luxury and style. Very pleased I chose the 3.6 over the V12
Oh well at least you tried, never give up though, sometimes the impossible is possible:-)
Saw this company statement on an eBay Xjs item. Sounds like they have experience of carrying out Manual Conversions and worth a telephone call at the very least:-
“We have many other performance modification especially for the V12’s such as manual conversion, throttle bodies and much much more! Please see our other listings. Over 30 Jaguars in stock for parts. We are specialists in XJ’s!
For all enquiries please call or email the Simplyperformance team directly as it will result in a faster and more efficient reply.

One has a more wrapped round shape in the rear quarter window area resulting in the hiding of the little bodywork triangle to the bottom left of the glass. Personally I really don’t like the look of the bottom Hood at all, looks rather cumbersome compared to the top cars hood which looks more sleek.
According to the Parts catalogue official Convertible hoods were offered in Black, Blue and Brown and interestingly they also made what is listed as a hood cover for transit use which was in Jaguar Green. This transit hood looks like a full Hood without a rear window panel at all, just entirely material. Has anyone ever seen one of these or even possess one? ( cannot see anything similar for the Cabriolet)Ooh a white 3.6 Cabriolet, my favourite colour ??
Sounds lovely Rolf. What colour combination is it?
Great pictures ??. I almost bought a Red example i went to view near Keithley, just a few weeks prior to the purchase of my Blue car. It was a bit highly priced for the overall condition for my liking but from 10 yards away it looked a Million Dollars. I still have a photo of it which I’ll share if I someone can explain how to download it
Yes Laurence it would make sense to get the cheapest and in Silver considering most discs usually are that colour. It will be interesting to know how they perform and what your overall thoughts are when fitted. Please let us know 🙂
In my Diary, as long as the Weather isn’t forecast to belt it down, or some other unfortunate event pops up, I’ll be in.
At that price I suppose it’s worth a shot, plus depending what Alloys you have fitted, the appearance of drilled and grooved discs through them will add a touch of speed from a visual perspective. What colour did you go for?
Laurence, check EBay item numbers 111592541415 and 401314401692 as just two examples, other colours are available. As the brake calipers are set back from the hub face these can be fitted without any difficulty. They are not solid covers but have the drilled disc appearance and will certainly reduce the amount of brake dust reaching the alloys hence cleaning will be less frequent and easier overall. They come in pairs so you’ll naturally need two sets, cheap enough too 🙂
Let us know if you order someInteresting, being sat for a Month and causing your brakes to do that seems a bit severe, six Months I could understand it. Anyhow, just way it is sometimes I suppose. What work did the garage do to the brakes and have they improved compared to how they usually felt/performed prior to the short layup?
