TSC button and sport don't light up any more.
One of the screen bulbs also. Go figure.

Pulled my finger out and reassembled the center console.

I think everything still works. I'll have to see when it's dark.

Nope, actual video recording. RCA CC510, 1990. Made by Hitachi and rebranded. The manual iris settings are difficult to judge on the viewfinder.

I need to clean the heads on it. Also, part of that is down to operator error.

Re: What did you do today?

Made a mental note that I cannot ignore the engine bearings much longer.

That now makes 3 cars I need to pull the engine.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

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

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.
