    Re: Piston removal

    I need to do this too and have also noticed a lack of a good write up for in-vehicle re-ring on the XJ I6.

    My main concerns would be:

    I think doing this would be very important..more like a buzzer really. If the alternator fails you need to know immediately so you can take action with what battery life you have left and/or before...

    Re: Fuse box is melted..whats the best fix?

    yep I cant see a reason now to attempt an aftermarket fuse box of any kind..you still have to cut wires and crimp to terminals, plus youd have to figure out a new wiring/ bus scheme, and youd end up...

    Re: What clutch master cylinder DOESN'T leak?
