In the photographs below, approximately 1/4 inch of the cover is removed with tin snips.
First the cover (red arrow photograph below) is removed. In order to get the 3.25 inches necessary for the installation the cover for the starter relay had to be modified.
Canister orientation will dictate which ones to use.Ĭreating space was the next objective. These are the entry and exit points for coolant. The canister is designed with three "nipples" (blue arrows photograph below). Pictured below is the generic Coolant recovery system, designed for various applications. That meant that, among other things, the windshield washer canister would have to be moved. That space, however was not enough, I needed 3.25 inches. The only available space in the engine compartment of the V12 XJ-S is the windshield washer canister location. Finding space usually means that something has to be moved or relocated. Putting in a coolant recovery system meant finding space for it. The 3.25 inches width is critical, as there is not an overabundance of space in the XJ-S engine compartment. Although the capacity is only 1.5 quarts, it would be sufficient for this project.
(This system was sourced from JC Whitney.) I chose the narrow container, approx. I chose a recovery system manufactured by Interdynamics, available from a number of automotive stores and mail order companies.
RADIATOR OVERFLOW TANK PONTIAC GRAND PRIX INSTALL
I decided to install a Radiator Coolant Recovery system. In addition, one cannot see the coolant level in the expansion tank, and must rely only on the low-level coolant sensor to monitor coolant level. The Jaguar Pre-HE's radiator has an expansion tank but no provision for coolant recovery.

This car is a load of crap looks good great sound system but who is listening to the radio when your car is making all kinds of noises (like the knocking sound I heard today) I still owe on this car but when it gets paid for it will be quickly sold or traded worst investment ever. No all of my antifreeze runs out of the stupid overflow container because it has that hose that relieves the coolant on to the ground. The the fuel injectors needed replacing because clearly super unleaded is cheap gas but injector cleaner and octane boost fixed it after the dealership planned to charge me close to 2000. Then a year later the fuel pump went out another 1200. It was the manifold gasket which costed me 1200 to get repaired. It drove great for nearly 2 years until one day it ran hot. I have read everyone else's issue and I am HOT! First got my car in 2004 it had 17000 miles on it.
