'82 XJS with the cursed Jaguar V12 comes into the CAR WIZARD's shop. Can he get it running?

One of the few channels I follow. I had already spotted the XJS in the background on some previous episodes. So I was very happy to see this episode which has some very good tips and advise which (luckily) was unaware off but nevertheless good to know. Enjoy:

A question of taste - BMW 635 CSI / Bitter SC / Jaguar XJS

 I missed out to buy the Novermber edition of the Classic & Sports Cars magazine. But a friend made some screenshots. If you want to read it then you need to save the photo's locally and enlarge it.

It has been a while! The usual, other priorities forced me to focus on other activities. I was so pleased to work on the XJS yesterday. Even though it was only a 10 min job. But one I liked very much. Again the inspiration was provided by "living with a classic" - the Swedish Jag enthusiast.

Watch this video episode to see what I'm talking about:

When I checked mine I was shocked to see they were complete gone on both sides. I can't believe I did not spot this before:

So I reached out to Jonas Loda:via jag.improver@gmail.com to order a set. Turned out I had been in touch with him before as he's the guy who made the new radiator banjo bolt:

Unfortunately sold out now but maybe there is a new batch upcoming.

Check out this website for many other usefull parts: https://foreverxjs.com/xj-s-parts (it does list some of the other parts created by Jonas).

In any case, I had these parts at my home for some weeks now. And yesterday I fitted them. A bit of a fiddle job but it was an easy and quick job. So happy with this improvement. Unfortunately I was not able to test it as the car did not wanted to start up. After a few cranks the battery died ... sigh.

At least hereby the photo's:
