Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
There was also 'Patch which which was a Ford crossflow that had been used in FF racing and put a rod thru... it was left outside the builders (Burton engineering?) complete with hole, for years.
After a period of time, there was a sudden dearth of engines available so 'Patch' was hurriedly repaired with a patch and rebuilt into a race engine. That engine was so successful that it became quite famous and driver/teams actually would ask for 'Patch' to run in their car.

The right bulbs arrived finally.

Tiny grain of wheat ones with a little blue cover.
Replaced the burned ones by the gearshift.
Cruise switch illumination works again.
Gearshift track also lights up. Getting better. Phil

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Mind telling us the model of each bulb? I really should do the same job on mine. It annoys me everytime I drive it in the dark.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
The ones I got are the wrong type, they don't have the base. But, they work.
If you don't care about that, then search 12v 0.9w t1 mini bulb.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
When 2 stroke performance bikes still used iron liners the hot tip after a rebore was to leave it out overnight to flash rust then hone to give a surface that would hold the lubricant better.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
There was a drag racer with a 2.5 daimler hemi engine that used the block as a garage door stop until it was really rusty and pitted before honing

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
So what you're telling me is the 318 block I have that's sitting out in the rain is a perfect race engine?

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
It’s a myth. The F1 engines were built from high mileage M10 blocks.
Rolls Royce V8 blocks were left for a year before being machined and built.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Pulled my finger out and reassembled the center console.
I think everything still works. I'll have to see when it's dark.
