How about putting a late xj6 series three engine from the 1980s in? You can still pick up good engines and it fits in fine Visually you wouldent know the difference once fitted Also by going this route you get more power and a big valve head Technically this was the best xk6 cylinder engine jaguar m...

Maybe when they photograph and check your number plate they just ignore it?
Strange though

Hi Phil
Muggy weld are the guys that make the best rods if you need them

Mark There may well be little choice soon on electric vehicles At the moment I am exempt from the ULEZ in London but that may not be the case in the future At some point and soon I am guessing an end will come for petrol and diesel cars starting in the city centres It may well be that our classics w...

Best other option is triple webbers which are cheaper but you need to get someone that really knows what they are doing to set them up on a rolling road
Otherwise the proper set is best
Otherwise you will just cause more problems later on when you come to try and get it to run correctly

Try furniture clinic
They have detailed tutorials on leather seat refurbishment
They are on u tube
Their products are also excellent

Well worth watching the tutorials
