[@peterriggall8409]

Really good news Brett. A great Christmas present. A good run will be good but Christmas traffic best to avoid unless you have too. 👍

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Thanks! I'll be giving it a good run soon.

Well done. Italian tune up needed.

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Next week I'll take it for a good run!

[@simonh4359]

At about 2:03 ish, there appears to be an arc flash, under inlet manifold, to the left of where your hand was, is it under an injector? Congrats on getting her running though. 👍

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Great Comment! So I had to go back and have a look in slomo. It appears to be a insect or a piece of something flying past. However ill keep an eye on it thanks!

[@mikevanblommestein5726]

Yes it seemed like a flash between the first and second injector area . Well done on the start up, it’s always an amazing feeling when that happens . The XJ40s have a charm of their own

[@phillipleeds296]

Bonus Christmas present.

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Yep, just in time!

[@bigfella6629]

👍👍👍👍

[@stevepearce6689]

Finally, I can get some sleep

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

🤣

[@geoffdyer1150]

If its out of rego get a unregistered vehicle permit and take it for a drive up the coast, that should clean out the moisture and cobwebs!

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

It will be reregistered next week anyway, so I will give it an Italian tune-up then!🚘

[@jimclarke1108]

TJM✌

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

cheers Jim!

[@edmian3567]

[@timbullough3513]

Slightly lumpy idle just sounds like a muscle car ... just enjoy it before it totally smoothes out
