Clean and Test Jaguar XJS V-12 Fuel Injectors with a $40 Tool

You can tell I'm gearing up to tackle the fuel rail overhaul as per blog:

I now also bumped in this Youtube channel which has some useful episodes regarding this activity. I have not watched everything entirely but am sure it will come in handy. Including the other video's listed on their channel/

Adding here their Youtube channel and website as well

And the actual fuel rail build up

Garage floor sweeping

Yes! Today I cleaned out the garage again. It was perfect weather. Just like last year the XJS started up in a second like it was driven only a hour ago. It runs so smooth. And this year no smoking from the manifolds. Of course I had to drive a little, about 1 km up and down on the street. Love it. A complete different character than the 400.

I truly hope in the coming year I get more time and money available so I can progress the work on the XJS. Although I know already the 400 requires a bit of funding on the rear suspension. Oh well. 

The Greatest Jaguar advertisement that never was.

What do you think of the modifications (bodywork is all metal from what I remember). Hot, or not? pic.twitter.com/vveiNKNd1z
