that is what the name is on the plate not sure on the spelling

the pressure plate is lighter than the diesel one but the new clutch feels heavier.

If its one of them it may be good. I think I put their part number on the parts sticky.
You may have had a pressure plate on the way out & thats why the new one feels heavy.

New spark plugs fitted. New spark plugs removed, gapped correctly and refitted.

Bought her some front speakers too to replace the dead ones. Need to get a deck though before I'll bother to fit them. No point fitting them for a crappy tape deck.

Default What did you do to your XJ today ?

Flushed the heater core, the easy way, disconnected the hoses at the firewall, and connected a 12v pump, some hoses and a big pot with boiling water and muckowt, seems to be a yearly event, works just fine now, also blew out the clogged washer bottle hoses.
