What happened to my 1996 X300 back in January this year is worth sharing as at the time the fix for the intermittent fault had not been recognised worldwide.
The Symptom:
Jan 9 (89,500 km) I am making a right hand turn into the driveway of my home when the engine cuts out. I wait a few moments and restart the car. I am able to drive it into the garage when I notice the Auto Transmission Failure warning light was on. I phoned my service technician Michael Gill-Bailey at the Jag Workshop at Sandgate and arranged to have the car checked the next day. Before leaving for Sandgate my wife Lois sprinkled holy water on the car and during the drive via the gateway I prayed that the engine would get me to Michael’s without incident, I made it safely. Michael explained that it could be a component starting to fail or a fault in the wiring loom, the diagnostic time for an intermittent fault can be huge. To keep costs down and my car on the road he suggested trying a part at a time.
98000 km on the clock only. Engineered with a 4.0 litre engine and 276.0kW of power, reaching speeds of 100km/h in 5.6 seconds!. This was my wife's car in Hong Kong from 2013 to to 2020, which she used to drive 15 minutes each way to work. In early 2021 we imported the car into Australia so that we would have a car here when we visited family on holidays. We retired in 2023 and have used the car sparingly since. We have now sold our home and downsized to an apartment where we have a single carpark available. So… 
1968 Jaguar Daimler 250 Turner V8 (restored) The Daimler 250 represents a pivotal moment in British luxury motoring, bridging the gap between Jaguar's sporting heritage and Daimler's refined tradition. Launched in 1962 and produced through the mid-1960s, the 250 was the company's answer to the demand for a more accessible luxury saloon, powered by a 250 cubic inch V8 cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission. This 1968 example received a comprehensive mechanical inspection and attention in 2022-2023, encompassing engine, suspension, mountings, seals, the fuel tank was removed and re-lined, new fuel pump installed, and this car is a genuine… 
DAIMLER DOUBLE SIX 1996 X305 This car may well be the finest example of the last of the V12 engined Daimlers. It has travelled just 81,000km. The date of manufacture is 12 December 1996 as per Daimler Heritage Certificate. The last of series X305 incorporated much improved braking, air conditioning and ignition systems using Nippon Denzo coil packs. The car has a complete history file, all books and tools including the under bonnet tools still boxed. The car is unmarked inside and out, has over rugs and has recently been fitted with new Pirelli tyres. The personal number plate…

The car has been standing for about 5 of it’s 10 years since we bought it. The previous owner converted to Dual fuel pumps but didn’t install pre filters in front of them with the result that debris flowed from the tank to the original pumps which failed, the passenger side tank has been cleaned out and a new pump fitted. this resulted in a fuel hose failure at the injection header and we decided that further work would probably be unwarranted as we are not likely to use the car in the future. The car is located in Hervey…
