I have never seen a firing order sticker on any XK engined Jaguar

From the Moss motors website:

Looks like Ser3 cars (possibly only US versions) had one on the air intake assembly.

Yes - that is for 12 cylinder cars. I have never seen any equivalent for XK engined cars

Not that we need a reminder other than:
Too young, too old, just right :lol: (and a large amount of wishful thinking for most us :roll: )

Stuart, sorry for any confusion. PC had written several years ago that 15 (years old) is too young. 36 too old and 24 just right. He admitted he was already far too old and it was wishful thinking, but it stuck in my memory as a way to remember the firing order.

I’ll get my coat :oops:

It's the way you tell 'em! :lol: :drinkingcheers:

I vaguely remember that now but clearly it didn't stick. Maybe I need one of those stickers?

Regards
