Rear wheel spindle surface rust on the 400.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Have you sorted the ABS on the Jag yet Ian?

Orcade-Ian:
Er, no!
I was disgusted with it, so shoved it into the corner of the workshop and left it there.  I will get 'around tuit' but I know it's a deep fault - more than just an ABS wheel sensor.  The ABS ecu doesn't even send blink codes.  A friend up here has broken an early face-lift car with most of the right bits - mine is one of the last 'pre face-lift models, so there are crossover parts.  I have done a bit more careful detailing meantime. It's an '89 V12 convertible with fewer than 20k on the clock, so worth at least 4s 6d.

Mike_Berkshire:
I’ve never heard of this stuff before. I’m eagerly awaiting delivery now.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It might not be as bad as you fear.
Our R129 SL 500 that we have owned for 21 years developed a persistent misfire over the last two years.
I booked it in at the MB dealer where I worked for over 12 years having been quoted £120 for a diagnosis!
As I have a friend's & family discount I ended up with a bill for £48 to fix the fault. - a poor contact on a coil pack.
