dollywobbler Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 If you do MOT it, I may well still be interested, accepting that the price will be higher. chaseracer, strangeangel, Magnificent Rustbucket and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Are you sure it is the sexting rack leaking and not just one or two of the old rubber hoses like on my similar Daimler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 It's filling up the steering gaiters, one of which has already burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's filling up the steering gaiters, one of which has already burst. Nothing burst. You make this sound needlessly dramatic. There is a small split in one of the steering gaiters. The rack's blood leaks out of it.

Anthony30 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Always wanted a xj40. I can't justify spending much money ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I might have sensors too - pretty sure it's only the calipers that went and I still have the hubs. Will check tomorrow. I have a faint memory of being able to get the ABS light to show codes which say what the fault is. No idea how to do it anymore, but I found out on XJ40.com.

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah, there's an exposed multiplug in the boot near the ABS computer. You just lick it and count the little electric shocks. In this car's case, the code returned is 21 - either the computer, the main valve, or the wiring in between the two. somewhatfoolish and alcyonecorporation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I seem to recall the connections crack inside the 'computer' in the boot. I had to open mine & resolder the joints to fix one fault. Conrad D. Conelrad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think that falls under 'repair faults'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the AS collective's bottle is on the wane. I never had any in the first place, so I was out before I was in. GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
