Welcome to Season 2 of TJM. Thanks for support on my first year. Holiday time so a bit short on time to make vids. some progess on the XJS BUT!!!!. also an update of whats going on with TJM. Enjoy!
Glad the S-Type sold for a decent price and has a new owner to enjoy it, and the black XJ is off to a new life. This XJS is looking like a real gem of a find !
G’day. I have just purchased a 1987 xjs 3.6 coupe just like yours. It’s the first Jag I have owned. Could you recommend somewhere to get parts? Mainly hoses and belts. I also need front carpeting in black. I am in Victoria.
My XJS equally afflicted. Please let me know where you source your replacement. I have seen you can flip the nylon gear to gain life. I have not ) it is been a few years) able to find one . Bad design to have nylon and metal interface. If I am going to take all that apart again I want it to actually work. Chappy to have sat through the video. It's on my list... Lovely pleasure crafts XJS are.
@@tjmthejagmandownunder I think you lose the bumpers, and you have to grind the lip interior lip down that is on the other side until it is flush. I have had others create 3D prind models, but have not pulled the trigger yet. Flipping it puts meat back on the grooves, if the guides and rails and all are greased up, it should last awhile.
I have similar problems with my windows, neither of them works now after swoping the switches over. But it will have to wait until the spring now before I tackle this particular issue.
A good update,the xjs is looking good,is it flamenco red,me dad had a 94 xj40 in flamenco,looked great.look forward to more uploads off you this year.happy new year to you by the way.
G’day Brett. Had to laugh. Exactly the same problem with mine. The nylon gear teeth have stripped. That cover pops off easily to take a look. Just tap the edges back with a screwdriver. Good luck finding another. The 8 tooth motors are hard to find and or expensive. Pelican Parts have them for MBenz. $147 US plus shipping. Hope to catch up soon.
Don't tell me that new project is a seriously mangled XJ220!! Great to the S Type and 300Sport have new owners! Its always always a risk purchasing used window motors sellers say are good to go. They usually are not!! Classic exercise in false economy. Same thing with ABS Modules! Could be a killer next time
Glad you kept the brown V12. This XJS seems an absolute beaut bargain, apart from these annoying fiddley bits, but they're no real problem for the JMDU, are they? I say that as someone who is hopeless about most practical things, let alone the complexity of Jag mechanics, so feel free to quietly - or even loudly - swear at me. I can't hear you anyway, lol. Love the vid as usual. PS was surprised to see you do the seat clean and leather feed with your bare hands! Well why not if it works just as well?
