Evening all,

I need some help please. I am looking for a driver's side handbrake cable for a 1989 XJ40 2.9 manual, the VIN number ends 575878. Any idea where I can get one from please?

Just had to get some for mine, made loads of enquiries, they are £55 each and no-one else makes them, so it has to be genuine jaguar.

Thank you both now sorted.

Next problem - Tyres

Any ideas at present four tyres are costing more than the car is worth. Size 220 (or 230) 65R 390.

Could try tyretraders.com

They will do supply only or they will get a local fitter to you to fit as well

Why not get rid of the metric size wheels and fit some 16" ones from another later XJ? Finding reasonably priced tyres won't be a problem then.

Have a look on ebay or Google Eurojag, JoJags or Grublogger.
