Surely this forum is a better encyclopedia of XJ40 woes and solutions than social media could be? Absolutely. The archives of a forum outweigh social media by an enormous amount. Jag-Lovers has an archive almost 20 years deep and although XJ40.com's isn't quite as large, it's probably the best reso...

I'm pretty sure there isn't a capacitor (your English is perfectly fine) on my coil, I'll have a look later.

Interesting!

I've got a low mileage spare over in the parts stash! (just kidding!!)
