Hi,

Recently purchased a new Jag xk140 driver. My intention is to keep it a driver and not restore it. My last esperience with British cars (TR3s)was around 35 years ago. I am hoping that someone can answer the following questions for me.

1) The bonnetlatch cable broke. The last owner installed a second cable coming into the right wheel well - just in case this happened. Unfortunately for me this does not work either. I can see the latch move from under the car but it does not release fully. There may be a loose screw or something keeping it from moving fully - any suggestions??

2) I can not turn the steering column adjustment nut. I put lubrication on the splines but it has not helped at all. I believer it is supposed to turn clockwise as viewed from the drivers seat. Any comments?

3) Has any one had experience using Raammat sound dampening material?

Thanks very much, it is a pleasure to be part of your club.

Terry
