We hooked it up to a JCB & shook it till the engine fell out -maybe you just need to be a bit more brutal Dave?!

Here's the T bucket body I bought. Can't remember who I sold it on to now. Came with chassis rails & a radiator shell.

And here's the sofa I built out of the back seat. Had this in my flat for several years.
I miss my flat, (sold it to move in with Tazet).
The sofa had a built in mouse mat.

Sorry Dave -didn't mean to hijack the thread!

Apologies for my silly question above - I'd missed a page of the thread!

Mike has an XJ6, the one with the square headlights.  He had a problem where the engine kept just stopping.  While driving it.  He read up loads of stuff on the internet, did all sort of things that appeared to cure it for a while, but it kep coming back.  And getting worse - getting dangerous in fact.

So in the end he bit the bullet and sent it to a local Jag specialist. It took them a couple of months but they finally found the problem.  This car has two HUGE fuse boxes, one in each front door pillar, with more fuses in each than I've ever seen in one car.  Mike had checked all those of course.

But the problem DID turn out to be a fuse!  One that's buried somewhere deep in the under-bonnet depths, somewhere around the bottom of the engine - AND NOT MENTIONED IN THE DAMN HAYNES MANUAL!  Or, to be fair, by any of the experts (the ones that learned the hard way) that Mike consulted online!

That's Ok Andy.
This model XJ has 5 seperate fuse boxes, holding 37 relays and 92 fuses (that I have found so far).

I downloaded the wiring schematics from Jaguar and it's over three hundred pages long
