Another Barn Find Jaguar XJS V12 That Doesn't Run Well! Can I make it run right?

This barn find XJS has been sitting for years. The owner got it to start however it runs really rich and will quit running after a few minutes. Can I figure out what's wrong and make it run right?

This bloke will be a expert fixing these things by the time eze finished

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

With cars of this age and Jaguars in particular the biggest problem is usually rust. Finding one with as solid a body as possible is always the best place to start.

[@timothyharding618]

I'm just about to start setting up my throttle linkages based on one of your previous videos 👌

[@peterbrown6224]

That poor door! She'll be a lovely car once you finish.

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Should be a great car once done

[@carlorizzo5308]

You are definitely incredible with these V12. I wish I had you over here in America

[@rogerpritchard]

Nice colour and interior. Its obviously been looked after. Keen to see how it progresses. The Jaguar V12 engine is quiet, reliable and bulletproof.

[@8000Christopher]

Great colour, and the interior looks like it is in very good condition. Thanks Adam !

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Yes it's a pretty nice example

[@Beauloqs]

Nice TVR.

[@johndavey72]

You know everything ......Mr. Bond ! 😄 Yes , the wing will repair Adam . Thanks Adam

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Maybe not everything but I’m pretty familiar with these cars

[@denisod]

Great video Adam, it’s great having these episodes as reference material when going through similar issues with my XJS. Thanks for taking the time to post this 👍🏻

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Thanks for watching!

[@holdencox3309]

We all learn and suffer together haha

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Lovely looking car with those BBS rims and Dorchester grey metallic paint..

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Yes it's a really good combination

[@NewtonInDaHouseYo]

Nice wheels! BBS RS020 in 17 inch? Also great color combo in Gunmetal grey. Always interesting to follow your sleuthing 😄

[@nickr7747]

Those are 16’s for sure

[@NewtonInDaHouseYo]

@@nickr7747 Right, I meant to write 16. Thanks

[@pauldyson5121]

Show us the TVR Griffith! Great Episode.

[@LivingWithAClassic]

It’s coming up in a future video

[@alexandrecouture2462]

From the sound the brake accumulator sphere is due for replacement. There is a Mercedes equivalent sphere that is easier to find than the original Jag one, with the same threads. I can find the part number if needed.

[@LivingWithAClassic]

It’s been sitting for months. That’s completely normal for it to do that

[@dougwernham5209]

Very interesting video thanks Adam.

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@carlorizzo5308]

It looks like Tommy Boy went and got gas in the Jag 😂 if you saw the movie you would know what I'm talking about LOL

[@russellwhite7407]

I’m really beginning to like the XJS especially the V12

[@LivingWithAClassic]

They’re great cars

[@TipTopMotors.]

Another great and informative video. I enjoy watching your video's you explain things very well and make it easy to understand. Is that a Wolseley 18/85/ or a six. Im guessing 18/85. i saw in the garage?👍

[@LivingWithAClassic]

I'm glad you enjoy them! Yes it's Wolseley 18/85S

[@BEGGARWOOD1]

I love your videos but they do make me happy to own classic Mercedes !

[@rodrigoantunes8502]

The tudor batterie is a portuguese brand👍

[@ericcooper5867]

Hello mate, I'm from Scotland. I have bought a project xjs V12 HE. Is there a full set of comprehensive wiring diagrams for these cars? Would love to correspond with you throughout the rebuild process incase I get stuck with anything

[@Ben-in6qh]

BBS RS, worth a fortune

[@BartMGRX]

Looks like you accidentally revealed your new V8 purchase😉

[@LivingWithAClassic]

It’s not in the video. It’s currently a 6 hour drive away. Will pick it up this weekend

[@BartMGRX]

@@LivingWithAClassic so that tvr isn't yours, that's a shame.
