Well that was a bit of an annoying Saturday tinker …. The Jaguar electric window mechanism arrived….and yep you’ve probably guessed there’s two different types and yes me and my neighbour Kev used some choice words when we stripped it down today Message to seller who advertised as a year 2000 model one But this is for a 2005 model Will see how it goes this week with them it’s a big breaker so hopefully they may change it for me The Mercedes today still sits awaiting some replacement front springs hopefully mon or Tuesday this week

Front springs out again I'm not happy with the HR springs I bought ones for an estate model thinking they’d be fine for the weight of the V6,but they seem to have compressed more over the last few weeks New 40mm lowered prosport ones on the way

So the S type drove faultlessly all Over our holiday and surprisingly my wife admitted it’s a lovely old car, she normally hates my cars so I’ll take that !!! Unfortunately yesterday I went to use the drivers electric window and I heard a horrible crunching sound and the window dropped into the door Last night i took the panel off and found the remnants of the plastic lugs which the window sits on I’ve secured the window up with quickly fashioned piece of wood for now I’m going to change the complete motor as a Jaguar specialist this morning told me not to waste time with a repair kit they don’t last, a second hand unit is around 40 quid so I’ll get one ordered via eBay this weekend Also I’ve got a rumbling rear wheel bearing I’ve got the parts but this is a job for my pal’s garage I think Tbh I’m still loving the Jaguar and it’s a keeper for the work commute I bought it at a silly price so spending money on repairs and small niggles really isn’t a problem After all that’s why I buy old cars, I like the chase getting parts and then skinning knuckles and the odd swear word thrown in!!!
