Been a bit of a service time for the old XJ.
Put in a Trans temp gauge so I can see what Temps the transmission runs at..and seems it runs at around the 190 deg mark.
Pulled the radiator to get it flowed and rodded..well that turned out to be new radiator time as we found some previous repares as well as a few places it was weeping. So new Rad was installed..while it was out I also put in a new waterpump, new idlers and swapped it back to a Viscous Fan.
While I was there I removed the stock Tube and Fin trans cooler and replaced it with a stacked plate cooler.
Temp is very stable and sits between 87 and 94 deg pretty consistently. Needs a good run to really see what its doing and I suspect I might need to replace the Fan hub, but will see how it goes.
Changed the O2 Sensors..which was much easier than I thought as I expected them to be a bugger to remove.
Also started to finally get around to mounting up the UHF I bought a while ago. Made a bracket to go under the rear seat.
While I was making it I decided I would put a fuse box in to provide Accessory power for all of the items such as 12v Power, UHF, Trans Temp gauge etc. Prefer to have a relatively easy place to pick up accessory power than try and ferrit around under the dash and find something.
Haven't quite finished it yet, but the majority of it is done..so will finish it this weekend when I get a chance. The fuse box is rated to 30A total load (which is more than enough for what it will power) and is connected to the Battery via a 60A constant duty relay (had one lying around). The relay is triggered by the Cigarette lighter plug which is on accessory power
