I have been musing on what preventative work would be advisable (or indeed essential) in terms of undersealing or similar treatments (such as Lanoguard or other market leading options), especially as we are moving through autumn into what is likely to be another wet winter. I would therefore be interested to get recommendations for my car, and what treatment(s) other owners have gone for, and indeed any recommended specialists who could undertake the work.

Hi guys, I took my XK8 in for it’s MOT on Monday, the car started fine, I drove it to the garage with no problems, the car passed the MOT with no issues, the examiner parked the car after he had finished and handed me the keys, I went to started it after paying the fee but the car wouldn’t restart. I have checked the fuses and relays but all seem fine, i also changed a few obvious things like the crankshaft sensor and fuel filter, but no luck. I know there are numerous things that it could be bu

Good Evening, My car is a 1989 XJ40 which I bought last December, since then I have only covered around 500 local miles and whilst I have generally enjoyed everything about the car there is one issue which is really annoying for me. I find the front seating, especially the drivers far too low to the floor! Now I am a tall guy around 6ft but I have long legs and a shorter upper body. The car does not have electric seats and I believe that if it did my problem would have been solved because they w

I personally go for Premium Super-Unleaded as the octane rating is the clincher for me - was running my old BMW Z3 six cylinder 2.0 engine and was a horrible flat spot between 1200 - 2000 rpm so when pulling out of junctions it was quite hazardous unless you jumped the clutch. Looked for vacuum leaks, etc and even considered getting it remapped to remove this flat spot. Anyway, to cut a long story short was on some forums and one chap said 'try super unleaded its an instant cure', now I thought no way is this going to be instant or make much difference - I had to eat my hat. The moment I drove off the forecourt it no longer had the flat spot - never looked back and always ran her on 98 Super Unleaded - only caveat is that I always use Esso or other branded fuels, don't trust the supermarket brands

The previous owner of the xk8 i've just purchased has been using standard petrol but using additives every couple of fill ups. I've always assumed the use of additives wasn't needed if using premium fuels at the pump. My dilemma is about which way to go. Should i stick with what he's been doing and what the engine is used to (he did about 14000 in 4 years) or should i go for using premium? I want what's best for the car, any knowledge of the effects of this would be appreciated.

I seem to recall from memory that the spark plug lead arrangement is in reverse to what you would logically think so mark up the leads how you want but in reality the number 1 cylinder is at the back of the engine.....allegedly the blueprints for the ignition section was upside down so they built it like that but I have seen many people falling down that hole

May be worth trying a conservative amount of silicon spray to the areas that you believe the squeaking is coming from - do one area at a time so you can evaluate whether this is the area which you need to focus on. Let us know how you get on with it
