You will have to expose enough of the wire to find where it is fastened down. Once you free it up then it should move to the side so that you can access the bolts.

I have a 1996 Jaguar XJS with "Driver's Door Sag" and found that I could not access the Upper Hinge Fasteners without removing all of the Dashboard Mounting Bolts ( 4 if I remember correctly) and pulling the Dashboard some 4" to 5" outward. The wires are in a Quick Connect inside the Firewall below the Driver's side of the Dashboard. Time taken to remove the Driver's Door, Pull back Dashboard, install Upper Door Hinge (and also the Lower Hinge) and reinstall was about 5 hours with me working along with my mechanic. I bought both the Upper and Lower Hinges from "justxjs.com" in England. They were used, (but worked perfectly with no wear) but they were from the Passenger Door of a "RIGHT HAND DRIVE CAR" Jaguar XJS about the same Model Year. This makes them fit to my "LEFT HAND DRIVE" Driver's Door. This fellow at justxjs.com knows Jaguar XJS very well.

I have a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Is there such thing as engine auto lock if you have a head gasket problem to keep water and oil mixing? I brought my car in for brakes and they've had it for months of problems getting parts and lots of excuses and when i finally gave up on them and went to pick it up it wouldn't start. It was running fine when I brought it there. They told me last they started it, it was blowing white smoke and jags have a bypass or auto disabler of the engine so that it won't cause more damage so maybe that's why its won't start. Is this bullshit? Is there such thing as a hyper lock that makes it that the engine won't turn over? I want to call them out on their lies if this is a lie and have them repair it so I can drive it home like I drove it in there. thank you for any information you can give. Jim 3 Answers
