    Wedging into the back seat, that's an understatement. But, it does keep the back seat looking new from not being used a lot. Oh well, love it!

      Totally agree. Rear seat looks factory fresh! :)

    Another excellent Low Tech video. While I don't have a XJS, I have considered them. Good to see what type of problems these cars can have and how to go about remedying the problem

    Good job on the video. At least for now it seems that the pump is working ok and the rams are a common failure as well as an easy fix. That is such a cool car.

      Thanks a lot! We should have an update soon. Hopefully we will have it working in time for the cooler weather!

    Those screws, even if they look like Phillips screws, are not. They are Posidrive screws, and you should use the correct bits to screw or unscrew to make sure you're not dammage them.

      Thanks for sharing that information with us!

    Great video. I have the same issue with my XJS and will now have the confidence to tackle it myself. Where did you get the rams from?

    I’m looking at the same car right now and the interior lights work intermittently I’m told, apparently the battery drains too. Could all that be caused by a bad switch for the lights? I’m thinking it’s like leaving the interior lights on and draining the battery

      I would recommend removing and cleaning all the contacts for the bulbs.

    • @LowTechGarage

      The switch is certainly worth investigating too

      @@LowTechGarage thanks for the reply, would that drain the battery?
