Fuel pump restoration

Don't buy new, just get yourself a new fittings kit. The expert in this area: Burlen Fuel Systems Limited

 

Just make some pictures to ensure, removal = refitting.

Mark the order and clean.

Most complicated is the electrical part, but in 2hrs you are done..

Parking in Brussels

Parking ain't easy, espacially not when being tolled away during a holiday break.

Not cheap, 340 EUR all with all in Brussels.

New bonnet

Well, after the crash in January she needed a new bonnet. Found a good one in the Netherlands, second hand. 100 EUR.

Transporting it was more a challenge,

than installing it:

Waiting for a red light...

 Indeed morning early to work, this big guy needed to push us, waiting for a red light

 Luckily she doesn't give a scratch

New leather, interior

35 years sitting in a Jag leaves it marks, time to fix the leather.

Send a sample and pictures of your leather to Gliptone Leathercare Ltd (UK), and for 85 GBP, you will receive a new leather!

Take care the process is much more work than I make it sound....

Thinner, etc..

She's kind a humid....

New cooling piping, easy order: (www.oldtimer-shop.de) for 70EUR and 2 hours work, and all is replaced.

Rattling noise on bumpy roads

Always on bumpy roads or 'drempels' in the front the shock system was making a loud ratling noice.

Easy fix it appeared: two new rubbers (www.oldtimer-shop.de) for 11.70EUR and some effort to open the old shock resistors and it was done.

Change fuel filter

www.oldtimer-shop.de
New fuel filter installed with gummy to close, 6.20 EUR

Easy to do, best cut open a plastic can (5liters) and place under. As of then just un-srew and replace filter.

The accident

Driving a Jag in Brussels ain't easy. Jan'2011 it happened:

On this crossing a Renault Kangoo suddenly drove upto the mid-section of the road and breaking was not an option.
