The guy in the trunk.
XJ40 door handles are made out of a very brittle metal that breaks easily. On the inside of the handle is a protruding arm into which is inserted a rod that is pushed down to release the latch when you pull up on the handle. The arm on your door handles is broken. You can buy rear handles on Ebay. Take care to get the proper year. 1988-1990 handles are smaller than 1991-1994 handles. The good news is that the rear handles are interchangable left to right, as they have the little arms at both sides of the handle. Kids and ham-handed buffoons do not mix well with XJ40 door handles.
well fist of all the xjs is a two door V-12 and the xj40 is a four door. also the xj40 was supposed to be a newer and better xj6 but in my opinion the xj40 with those square headlights and boxy look is one of the ugliest jaguars ever built. "just not a looker" there made in different years.

YOU MUST REMOVE THE INNER DOOR TRIMS AND ADJUST THE LEAVERS OR RECTIFY THE PROBLEM IN SIDE THE DOOR
60 nm or 44 pounds then give it 90degree turn
on my 86 xj6 it is under the hood in the right fender well. On my 1995 XJ6 Vanden Plas the battery is in the trunk under the floor panel on the right hand side. 89 XJ40 UK spec. Rear left (from driver position) of engine compartment where it meets the inner wing/fender
To press out control arm bushings you will need a machine shop. These parts are highly specialized and need to be to exact specifications.
i don't know, but if you find out please tell me. My 1990 Sovereign has been in limp-home mode for 26,000 miles now
Remove the headlamps and front bumper. Remove the three upper retaining bolts and the wheel arch liner. Remove all the bolts holding the wing in place and remove it.

The same place it is on a 1988. RH side of engine. If you cannot get original service manuals for your car, for whatever reason, get the Haynes for XJ40 through 1994. The procedure and engine layout are identical. Mark
The Sovereign was produced for North America, in the XJ40 (1988-1994) XJ body style. The Sovereign was an upgrade over the standard XJ6 with a slightly upgraded interior, with details, such as movable rear reading lamps, and day lights in the back of the front headrests- and upgraded wheels, different side body molding, more standard features and depending on the year, rectangular headlamps as opposed to two round ones. The Sovereign is a step below the Vanden Plas, which has upgraded Connolly leather seating, lambswool floor mats, and airline style picnic trays for the rear seat passengers.
