Hood
Unlike current Jaguar cars, the hood is hinged at
the rear with single pivot hinges and gas struts. It
has two primary and one secondary latch for
security. The primary latches are joined with an
intermediate cable and release of the primary
latches is by a single cable from the hood release
lever on the driver side of the vehicle. The two
primary latches are handed for LHD and RHD
vehicles. The secondary latch, mounted on the LH
side of the hood between the grille and inner
headlight, is provided for added safety and must
be hand released before the hood can be fully
opened. Hood sealing comprises front and rear
lengths of sponge bulb, pegged to the hood inner.

FUEL FILLER FLAP MANUAL RELEASE
Fuel Filler Flap
The fuel filler flap/cap is located on the rear upper
part of the right fender. Fuel filler flap operation is
via an illuminated switch on the fascia or
emergency manual release by tag and wire in the
RH side of the luggage compartment. The cap,
when removed from the filler neck, is held by a
retaining strap which can be passed over the hook
on the flap to allow easy access for filling the tank
and to prevent scratching of the surrounding
paintwork.
