So what you're telling me is the 318 block I have that's sitting out in the rain is a perfect race engine?

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
The ones I got are the wrong type, they don't have the base. But, they work.
If you don't care about that, then search 12v 0.9w t1 mini bulb.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
The right bulbs arrived finally. 20240427_183309.jpg Tiny grain of wheat ones with a little blue cover. 20240427_200741.jpg Replaced the burned ones by the gearshift. 20240427_183355.jpg Cruise switch illumination works again. 20240427_203059.jpg Gearshift track also lights up. Getting better. Phil

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
It has done a Jag and the inside of the engine is rusty.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
The bulbs I ordered arrived.
Naturally they were listed wrong and are completely incorrect. Ordered some more, which will hopefully be the correct type.
Someone has been in here before. Yup, all the plastics are broken. Great. More to fix.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
It was stripped and has been left half dismantled for over 2 years. I'm not even bothering with it.DodgeRover wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 10:55 pm Have you tried the engine or has it been part stripped?

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
I suppose you can now say the car has a V12 in it. I'm always suspicious of quality of electrical installation when I see aftermarket audio installs. At least it's Alpine in there being decent aftermarket audio brand. Nowadays it'd likely be some cheap arse generic Chinese brand from Amazon that li...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Ime on those bulbs, once one blows others are due to blow soon after. The shock of removing the cluster can kill the other marginal bulbs. Plus old bulbs are dimmer and it's obvious especially with backlight bulbs when only some have changed. Yup. The knocks and bumps finished off the last two bulb...
