Re: Side skirts...

You can easily remove the sills complete with skirts then detach the skirts from the sills as they are just held together with 6 torx bolts. That makes it easy to respray.
I'm sure they could also be wrapped in situ.

Re: 1954 Jaguar receipt

The killer for me is Purchase Tax at over 40%. That would sting.

Clearly a very extravagant purchase for the area. My parents purchased a large Victorian 3 bed detached house in Derby for £450 in May of the same year...

Re: First Year Niggles

Must say, although I don't think I have this problem, I think it's great that really clear and useful advice is being shared here. Proper forum! We Jaaaag owners are a civilised lot! :lol: You've clearly not been in the herd headed for the burgers, bacon baps and breakfast rolls when they open the ...

Re: First Year Niggles

From a simple mechanical perspective tightening a locating bolt at the extreme rear of the trim cannot have any effect on the front lower part where it’s lifting. If you press on the trim over the bolt and it doesn’t move inwards then there’s no point in stripping trim and over tightening it as it’s...

Re: Bonnet leaper?

Did any Jags even still have any such leapers back in 2005? If memory serves me the lineup then should have been the X350 XJ, X-Type, S-Type and X100 XK8 and surely none of them came with one from factory? In the early 2000s a mate had an early modern S-Type with that kind of leaper which he ended ...

Re: Coupe Dimension - rear wheel centre line to rear ?

I still use string dangling from the garage ceiling as a stop guide. The lasers look like a good tidy method. :D It’s a neat and cheap solution. Years of walking into the tennis ball on a string or tripping on stop blocks is now long gone :D Actually it can guide 2 cars into the garage, if you use ...

Re: Coupe Dimension - rear wheel centre line to rear ?

That's great news gf15, and thanks for taking the trouble. cj10jeeper, I like the idea with the laser. Simple but very effective. Good to hear a couple of you rate the Silicon Silver. I looked at other options but this one stood out for me. I'll be sure to post a few pics when it's with me in the f...

Re: Coupe Dimension - rear wheel centre line to rear ?

Makes more sense now and can see the logic I had the original Z4 but parked forward to a timber stop on the floor. Now the F Tyoe lives in 6x6 garage on it’s own, so just use a laser that puts spots on the dash when I reverse in far enough to clear the up and over door. Edit - Silicone Silver is one...

Re: Coupe Dimension - rear wheel centre line to rear ?

Welcome to onboard. Hope the wait isn't too long Wouldn't it be better to source your kerb and then fix it in place once you have the car? You're looking for the measurement to be accurate, which makes sense to not waste space, but how far forward the kerb needs placing also depends on the profile a...
