My late father-in-law owned a 1992 6.0 litre 12 cyl. Jaguar, which has been
> built in a limited edition.
> It is the "old" model, not one of the 90's XJ's.
>
> It had been restored for my wedding day in the winter of 2001.
> Engine was 'fixed', 4 new Pirelli tyres were fitted, lights and other
> electrics were checked.
>
> We had a great day, but after this day the Jag hasn't been used ever since.
> It has been outside (temperatures between -15C and +30C, rain, snow, storms,
> etc.) all of the time.
> It now belongs to my brother-in-law who hasn't the slightest idea what great
> car he owns.
>
> Two weeks ago (after checking oil, etc.) I jump started the car.
> It ran painfully bad (between 500 and 2500 rpms when standing still and not > in gear).
> With the airco on "auto" it nearly died totally, but by switching this item
> totally off, I managed to keep it "alive".
>
> I know it will be difficult to make this beauty become a good running car > again.
> Since my brother-in-law rather lets it rust outside the garage, it find it
> MY DUTY to restore this beauty.
>
> What difficulties could appear?
> Is such an engine tough?
> Will it live again?
>
> Please help!
