My dad had a Jaguar XJS when I was a lad, when he accelerated in that the fuel computer regularly showed 1mpg or even 0mpg, t'was the 5.3 V12 HE (High Economy) , bit of a contradiction in terms. So all in all 30+ ain't too bad
High-Efficiency , heads were designed  by Michael May, some swiss moooosh :-?

But could I have inadvertently 'blown' the pump etc. as a result of them being frozen at one stage ? The temps now are above freezing and I have chucked in about 2.5lt of (ready-mixed) screenwash and still nothing :(

yes you could have done , maybe you  have , try putting some hot/warm water in the bottle just to make sure , the water could be frozen up the pipes ! just try to eliminate  the frozen thing first , then go for fuzes  :y

Now there's a plan......but I kinda filled the whole tank up (doh !!) and there is no space - can it be drained ?

 well im sure you can get some hot water in there by just pouring it out of the kettle in to the bottle, it will warm it up even though its full !
pour warm water over the washer jets and piping as well , eliminate the obvious  first , then go in deeper  :y

Omega General Help / Re: Slight tapping on start up
« on: 07 January 2009, 14:34:45 »
it will be one of the lifters (tappets) nothing to worry about, the oil is sitting at the bottom of the engine and with this very cold weather it takes its time to get up there ( the top of the engine ) when it does your tappet noise dissapears, i would have thought it would be no more than that ! ( my car does it as well ) :y

Omega General Help / Re: heater woes
« on: 17 December 2008, 02:59:36 »
no i have not had hbv out ( but dont know if anyone else has ) the heater will not work if the vacume pipe is connected but seems ok when disconected ::) will check vacume on hot /cold  in next couple days, and no mark you can replace/check valve from under bonnet its behind engine there is a thread on how to get to it, and flushing heater matrix can be done easily from under bonnet, this forum is most explicit and all on here seem most helpfull , but do what i did and trawl through all the problems others have had and most of the problems seem common to all. regards bob.

Omega General Help / heater woes
« on: 16 December 2008, 12:04:01 »
i was after some heat from the heater ( none , stone cold ) when i came across a vacume pipe off of what i assume is by pass valve put it back on result ice cold from heater vents ! took it off again result cold but not ice cold ! so took pipes off heater matrix flushed it with hose pipe back and foward result , wicked heater :y all good! put vacume pipe back on result cold again :-X pipe back off heater good?
the vacume pipe in question goes through bulkhead where heater matrix pipes go, so can i assume heater by pass valve needs replacing? any help much appreciated , bob :y
