Well, spring is *officially here I guess which means it's time to go over the XJ and address any major items for preventative maintanence and upgrades:
Post car show I have a nice clicking noise in the front when I turn at low speeds and suspect either the axle u joints or front DS u joint is on it's way out or already toast. I went to crank it up the other morning this week and all I got was a completely dead car when I turned the key. Gave her a jump and fired her right up. I suspect the battery is quite old on this girl and maybe time for a new one. Need to check the date and have the auto shops test it. Need to give my rear drums a glance to see if they are properly adjusted or need replacing.
Overall that should cover me for maintanence in question unless something else pops up. Upgrade wise:
