Where crankshaft main bearing failure is experienced on 3.4 and 4.2 models it is possible
for some distortion to occur within the cylinder block as a result of the heat generated. To
enable effective repairs to be carried out with confidence, new short engines consisting of
a cylinder block, crankshaft pistons, con rods and oil pump are now available using normal
parts ordering procedures. These are supplied under the following Part Numbers and
should be used when repairing engines which have suffered crankshaft main bearing
failure, particularly rear main bearing failure:

66 Front/Rear Shock Absorbers and Ride Level Struts - Replacement Guidelines:
To overcome criticisms of poor ride characteristics, revised settings for front and rear
shock absorbers and ride level struts have been introduced on Production from VIN
527357.
Parts stocks are available and parts can be ordered using the following part Numbers:
The following guide lines MUST be adhered to when fitting replacement parts:
1. Replacement of old with new specification units must always be in axle sets, i.e. Units
of different ride specification must not be mixed on an axle.
2. Where front shock absorbers are replaced with new ride specification units, then the
•
rear shock absorbers/ride level struts must also be renewed with new specification
units. However it is permissible to fit new ride specification rear shock absorbers/ride
level struts with old specification front shock absorbers.

2. Cut the tie strap securing connector RS25 (green PM4). Disconnect the connector and
feed the accumulator harness and multi-plug down through the engine compartment
area.
3. Raise the vehicle using either a jack and stands or a vehicle ramp.
4. From below, cut and remove the heat shrink sleeve securing the two accumulator
switch harnesses together.
6. Note the positions of the connections in the multi-plug and remove the seal. Remove
the appropriate connector pins from the plug using Service Tool JD 137.
•
NOTE: Further details on pin removal can be found in BookS, Section 86, Page 86A-4ofthe
XJ6 2.9/2.6 Service Manual.
7. Thoroughly clean the accumulator switch assembly ensuring that the surrounding
area is free of all dirt and grit etc.

ITEM: 09
The Service network has identified a condition where during the closure operation, a door
latch may not fully engage causing the door to rebound open. This is caused by either
maladjustment of the lock linkage or contact between the door assembly and aperture
fittings which impedes closure.
This condition mainly affects rear door operation but as the adjustment procedure is
identical for both front and rear doors, repair methods are included for both.
This Bulletin Item details in Section One a method for checking if free play exists at the
exterior handle. Section Two provides a procedure for setting the lock linkage and Section
Three identifies a number of potential contact areas which can affect closure.
SECTION ONE
1. Ensure the sill link is in the fully unlocked position and the latch claw is in a partial
•
closed position (A Fig 1).
2. Place a finger into the striker slot (B Fig 1) where the upper part will make contact with
the lock pawl (C Fig 1).
•
3. Use the other hand to check the exterior handle for free play. If set correctly the pawl
wil l remain stationary during the initial movement of the handle, i.e. 1-2mm. Should
pawl movement be identified move to Section Two.
NOTE: Excessive play at the exterior handle can also cause door closure problems and will
necessitate adjustment. Refer to Section Two and adjust to attain the correct setting.
SECTION TWO
1. Remove the door veneer panel and upper and lower trim pads. Remove the taped
plastic moulding from the door inner panel to allow access to the lock assembly.
2. Release the locknut at the top of the handle link barrel nut (D Fig 1).
. , · 3. Place a finger into the striker slot to contact the pawl and with the other hand rotate the
barrel nut in the direction of the arrow (E Fig 1) until the pawl ceases to move. Rotate
the nut one further full turn or until free play is identified at the exterior handle.
· ·· 4. Secure the locknut using two spanners and recheck the free play.
..
: .
:5. Refit all trim etc.
•
-.,
FIG 1
SECTION THREE
Where door closure problems are identified and checks have shown that the lock linkage
is set correctly, the door should be examined initially for profile and adjusted as necessary.
Should a closure problem exist after profile setting and it is established that the striker is
correctly set, the aperture should be examined for contact marking.
2. Tread plate contact. Where this is identified, remove the tread plate and using a
suitable file remove sufficient material from the tread plate to obtain clearance.
• 3. Door seal wrinkling. This usually occurs atthe top of the "C" post and inhibits rear door
closure. To rectify fit a new seal.
NOTE: Any repair time allowance for Section Three items are covered by normal warranty
times where a component is replaced.

• During July 1987 a new type of time clock was progressively introduced onto XJ6·with
100% fitment from VIN 521288. Visually the old and new clock look identical. The
difference between the two being the method of control; the old unit obtained all its power
and data signals from the central processor whereas the new unit generates its own timing
s1gnals, hence 1ts name being a 'stand alone clock'
• It should also be noted that PIN 14 on the bulkhead harness side of the connector should
have a brown link wire going directly to the bulkhead positive terminal post. If this wire is
not connected then the clock will lose its memory when the ignition is switched off.
JOS Software Issue DBC 4004 covers the CPU controlled clock and not the stand alone
clock, this will be incorporated into a future softwaH-r&e-+'re~IIGea.as~e~.-------------

If warm air is required and the coolant temperature is less than 30°C, the fans are switched
off. This avoids large amounts of cold air being blown into the car.
From 1990 MY, the operation of this switch has changed from normally open when the •
coolant temperature is below 30 o C; to normally closed and open when the coolant is above
30°C.
Operation:
When the coolant is below 30°C, the switch is closed, thus supplying an earth to the ECU
(this will inhibit the fan operation, as for previous models).
When the coolant is above 30 °C, the switch will open and the ECU will see 5 Volts from its
own pull-up, now incorporated into the ECU, (this will allow the fans to operate normally).
PLEASE NOTE: The revised temperature switch and new electronic control module ARE
NOT interchangeable with previous parts.
Fault Analysis:
The old system inhibits the fan operation if either the temperature switch or the harness
become open circuit. With the new system, if the switch or the harness become open circuit, •
the fans will continue to operate even if the coolant temperature is below 30° C.
Simi liar modifications to XJS and S.lll V 12 will be introduced in the near future. Introductory

As part of our programme to evaluate and test oils, the following list of SYNTHETIC oils
has been given approval by Jaguar Cars:
Mobil 1 10w/ 30
Generally, synthetic oils are superior in performance under extreme operating conditions
at higher engine temperatures.
Although all the above SYNTHETIC oils are approved by Jaguar Cars, it is essential that the
temperature chart detailed in the Owner's Handbook and Workshop Manual (reproduced
below for reference) is referred to. An oil with a viscosity rating which falls within the
ambient temperature scale which the vehicle is operated in MUST be used.
e.g. 10w/30 or 10w/ 40 MUST NOT be used if the ambient temperature EXCEEDS
16° C (60° F).
The above SYNTHETIC oils and normal mineral oils meeting BLS 22 .0L.02 are compatible.
As such, should synthetic oil not be available, it is acceptable to top up with a normal
mineral oil, providing it meets BLS 22.0L.02.

ITEM 55
Several reports have been received of 77mm 5-speed gearboxes "jumping out of gear".
Sample gearboxes returned for investigation have been tested and found to be functioning
correctly. It is known that if the transmission tunnel cover plate or gear lever gaiter are
incorrectly fitted, the gear lever movement can be restricted to prevent the gears engaging
fully. If any manual XJ6 vehicles are encountered which are jumping out of gear or suffering
difficult gear engagement, then the centre console should be removed to check that the
gear lever movement is not restricted by either the gaiter or the cover plate before the
transmission is removed.
When fitting the propshaft into the Getrag manual gearbox, care must be taken not to
disturb the oil sealing plug (A) by pushing the propshaft too far into the gearbox (see
diagram). The only stop, when sliding the propshaft into the gearbox, is the sealing plug at
the bottom of the propshaft reverse spline and if any force is used the plug can be disturbed
and allow oil to leak out from the gearbox.
The supply of front and rear shock absorbers has been changed from Girting te Boge.
Front and rear Boge shock absort)ers were introduced on Series Ill saloons at VIN: 391800.
At present on XJS models only, front Boge units have been introduced and Girting rear units
are still fitted.
A further bulletin will be issued advising the introduction of rear Boge units on XJS models.

Continual monitoring and examination of returned Power Assisted Steering racks has
resulted in the following improvements:
1. To prevent rack bar contamination due to the use of spurious lubricants during
Service, extensive testing by Jaguar and Adwest has resulted in the deletion of the
rack damper grease nipple. Greasing of the rack damper during Service is NOT
necessary as initial greasing by the manufacturer is considered sufficient.
2. To alleviate the possibility of scoring the rack bar with the steering alignment tool,
when checking the steering geometry, a deeper and chamfered centralising pin hole
has been introduced.
These improvements have been implemented on steering racks built after date code 4L 0001
and were introduced progressively on to Jaguar production from VINS:

With the recent introduction of semi ·metallic brake linings, it is important that all Service
Personnel are aware of the optimum procedure for the 'bedding·in' of these linings. Details
are as follows:
In order to ensure optimum brake performance and refinement throughout the life of the
brake friction linings and brake discs, it is essential that a controlled brake bedding
procedure is undertaken during the early life of the friction linings.
The procedure used should ensure that the friction linings quickly achieve normal operating
conditions as a result of low energy applications, without being subjected to high energy
input levels.
The procedure recommended for the ·f irst 320 km (200 miles) is of deliberate, frequent light
application wherever possible, similar to that used during normal town driving. On open
road driving the above conditions have to be simulated. Try NOT to brake from speeds in
excess of 96 km/h (60 mph); reduce speed by short brake applications, i.e. 80-65 km/ h
(50-40 mph) at intervals of approximately 1.5 km ( 1 mile).
This procedure will ensure satisfactory brake lining/disc conditioning, and lead to optimum
brake I ife and performance.

To improve the efficiency of the Receiver Drier, the Drier has been repositioned to enable
maximum refrigerant flow through the internal pick-up pipe.
This repositioning has resulted in the sight glass now being on the left hand side and in the
vertical position. This change was introduced at VI N 412060.
When fitting replacement Receiver Drier Bottles on Series Ill 4.2 Models (prior to the above
VIN) the Receiver Drier should be fitted as described above.
The fitment of the Receiver Drier Bottle CAC 1881 on Series Ill 5.3/XJS HE and XJS 3.6
Models remains unchanged, i.e. the Drier mounted with the sight glass on the right hand side

During the winter period, especially in markets where the ambient temperatures are
particularly severe, it is possible for the electric aeria I mast to freeze temporarily. I sola ted
incidences have been reported of the main circuit fuse blowing through the aerial operation
being impaired.
Should this occur it is possible for the door casing puddle lamps to illuminate with the doors
closed, and in some cases, due to the problem going unnoticed, can result in the battery
discharging when the vehicle is parked.
Through subsequent investigations, the cause has been traced to a feed back circuit
developing through the interior light circuit which is also protected by the same fuse link.
To prevent this involuntary illumination and possible battery discharge, modified bulkhead
harnesses incorporating diode protection on the interior light circuit will shortly be
introduced. Introductory VINs will be issued in a further Service Bulletin.
However should this problem be encountered on vehicles already in Service, the following
modification may be implemented:
