2010 resolution; no more leaks

On the last day of 2009, the Jag's sump was patched, and so far on the third day of 2010, we're leak free. Man, that kind of sounded "Old Testament". But hey, if God could drive, he'd drive a Series III XJ6, right?

So the only ongoing niggle with the car is a cranky cold start (pun intended!). I initially thought the fuel system was bleeding down at a certain temp, and perhaps it is.....I've not looked into it in depth yet, but whatever the ills are, at ambient overnight temps of 20dF, the car is reluctant to fire quickly in the morning. Obviously, the engine cranks over slower, which is definitely audible- and I don't know if it's a contributor to the problem, but my trick of putting the car in D and holding the key in the start position for 10 seconds or so doesn't seem to have any discernible effect at uber-cold temps, so back to the drawing board with this one...
