Great information, thanks for sharing. 2024 will see my changing my 72 XJ6 to a XJ12 using a 76 pre-HE V12. Keep up the great work. Very nice looking Jag by the way. Cheers.
Thanks Jeff. I have just taken my DD6 out on the first ‘proper’ run in warm weather. The new fan setup is very effective - a big relief. Good luck with your change to a V12.
There is no reason to "upgrade" the cooling systems on these cars. They did not overheat when new and if one does now it is due to a lack of skilled maintenance. They were designed, developed and tested by very clever human beings and the factory guaranteed them. Sure, you can buy all your bobbins and bodge them in to that beautiful car, but maybe you should learn about the original system and work on getting that right. Sure, you have removed the engine fan and saved power, but now you place more electrical load on the alternator. If you think that you are more clever than the people that built, sold, guaranteed these cars you are kidding yourself.
