good job the box had a rebuild before I got the car!! john

Hi Thanks for the detailed info, I am now convinced that the Jag has the DG box simply because of the the speed lock. Because I am a paraplegic ( wheelchair user) I will have to rely on others to check the oil position ect. The gear selaction is P,N,D,L,R. Regards John

It May be of interest, when I restored my 2.2 a few year s ago I purchaced a complete carpet set from Wadhams and the quality was fantastic. To put it into contex I am starting work on a 1964 S type Jag and I bought some carpet from Aldridge trimmers and the quality is no where as good as the...

is there any difference between ATF-G oil and ATF- F oil, when I checked the ford spec the numbers for the ford spec appear to be the same apart from either G or F at the end ? john

you may well be right, I assumed that when the electronic ignition was fitted the rota would have been replaced at the same time, but no!!,. As it happens I had a red rota from the doctor and gave it this morning to my son inlaw, when I looked at the rota today you are correct the rota smelt...
