XJS speed in gears

A better bet is to borrow a gps off someone, this will eliminate rev counter errors too !!

Perhaps a new speedo or speedo cable might be the answer in the first instance.

Well yes at some point, until then I would llike to know.

I get nervious when things break on the XJS - everything appears to cost rather a lot and there are more pressing concerns such as the wet footwells!

OT alert

How do you get your name to appear above your posts? I appear to have a trunkated e-mail address instead.

Wet footwells are almost always caused by a blocked drain in the heating plenum chamber. You need to find the drains under the car (rubber tubes) and rod them out using a long flexible wire. The sort of thing used to hang up lace curtains is ideal.

I'd be surprised if a 4 litre XJS had a mechanical speedo.

In which case, that it works at all is a miracle...
