milage on xj
My experience with an `89 XJ and a `96 XJ, each with the 4.0L and auto
transmission, is that with normal routine care you should get about 18
to 20 mpg, unladen. Mileage goes up to about 22 on...

Where's my HORN???
If we're going _there_, let me just say that I think that all car alarms
should come with shock collars. Failure of the owner to not wear the
collar would be a felony.

I hadn't thought of that. For the `79 there's a fuel line that runs

Do they sell one for his `88? I ask because I never could find one for
my `89 XJ. I didn't look but I suspect that there was no easy-to-get-to
connector to plug into.

Your XJ is a decade old and has reached the design life of the radiator,
like mine did last month.
"Freeze plugs" are a thing commonly blamed by those who don't know what
one does or looks like. ...
