I do remember the photograph of the Gloopy outside your house. He just loved winding people up and sometimes didnt really appreciate where the boundary's of a wind up lay. He was always quick to apologise if it was felt he went to far though.<br /><br />I had forgotton about the Jeep. Wonder if that is still in the garage. Seems strange they had it for a year though, although my XJS did something like 18 months in the workshop once when it needed all the welding. <br /><br />Would have thought the Gloopy least likely to end up being preserved forever even if it was his favourite as by far the least rare of his cars. To most, sadly it would be just another run of the mill XJ6/XJ40 style car http://www.kelsey-forums.co.uk/cgi-bin/jwm/YaBB.pl?num=1365787129 Jaguar World Monthly Forum/Classic saloons - Mk 1, Mk 2, S-type, 420, Mk V, Mk VII-IX, Mk X, 420G http://www.kelsey-forums.co.uk/cgi-bin/jwm/YaBB.pl?num=1365787129 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:18:49 GMT hi the head lining on my 3.8 s type is coming away it was not fitted properly can anone tell me what to use to stick it back not sure if carpet glue or a contact adhisive any one had the same problem? http://www.kelsey-forums.co.uk/cgi-bin/jwm/YaBB.pl?num=1361671175 Jaguar World Monthly Forum/Classic saloons - Mk 1, Mk 2, S-type, 420, Mk V, Mk VII-IX, Mk X, 420G http://www.kelsey-forums.co.uk/cgi-bin/jwm/YaBB.pl?num=1361671175 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:58:05 GMT I'm with Alan - 123 system was easy to fit and immediately sorted a number of starting problems.

Four years ago I had major cardio issues which have left their mark on me BUT  two years ago I started to go back into my garage / workshop and found if I used a stool to sit on I was able to do little pieces of work I never thought I would again be able to do. I 'refocused'.<br />Mentally this was better than the pills the doctor prescribed at the time. One needs to be focused and you have the perfect car, yes, perfect car to concentrate your thoughts and energy into. One of my cars is a 1963 Mk2 3.8 MOD which i have approx 11 years and what a beautiful car the Mk2 is.

Always a good idea when trying to source such problems is first ensure a good earth is provided and then you can follow the power to find a break causing the problem.<br />Good time to 'clean up' any other earth points in the vicinity you may be working.<br />Good luck<br />Eugene<br />old jag man.
