Thanks Blem, have owned it since '99 (it's an '89 model) and had put nearly 300,000 reliable kms on the V12, as a daily driver plus holidays etc.
Foolishly ignored some slight overheating in Singleton, 5 years ago 47C ambient. Dropped a valve seat, replaced the donk with a low km S/C 4.0 I6, from a later XJR ex-Japan, brand new Eaton Blower etc.
Usual Jag guy struggled with the support from Wolf, sent to a dyno shop to sort - same result, but got it going and has sat for a couple of years since.
Will probably replace Wolf with Altech and put Wolf on eBay. My local dyno shop is a wizard with Altech, so am resigned to playing safe and getting a result
