The 'E' Type Forum

Strange, this what came up on my iPad .....

The owner of www.jdclassics.com has configured their web site improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this web site.

Sadly, that doesn’t work now because it relates to JD Classics, who of course went into receivership. Which beggars another question; has the ex owner of JD been convicted yet? I know there were several people wanting to bring cases forward for fraud.

Perhaps an understanding of the Zenith El Primero movement. Beating at an amazing 36,000 vph (5Hz) and capable of measuring time to a tenth of a second, the El Primero was perhaps the most impressive of the three world-first automatic chronograph movements that appeared in 1969. Heuer being one of t...

I prefer the Autavia! But being a watch man, variety is the spice of life. I’m into IWC and Zenith. It’s to do with the quality of the movement! We could start a new thread on watches!!! Come on David.

The “Educator,” It’s probably a gun! Oh, David, you have changed your watch!!! A classic!

I think you will find that it is for all SNGB customers. Julian said that all parts for the US were shipped out, I think, 3 times a week in large pallets. So any improvements will surely be the same across the pond. That has to be good news.

Welcome Tom! It’s great to see a younger member on this Forum, as I often wonder where the next generation of classic car owners are coming from. Values don’t help, that’s for sure. I am a V12 OTS owner, and if you need any help or advice, then please get in touch. As Geoff and Steve have said, this...

Thanks Julian for the very kind offer, but I shall be on holiday.
Best Regards

I looked in one of my project files this evening, and the render you have been advised to use is the one specified for the walls and floor of a damp basement. It worked for my client, so should work for you. Let me know how you get on.

All I can do is add my thanks to all that has been said on the other posts. A great day, which proved extremely informative. SNGB have a unique strategy far and away better than their competitors about wanting to please their customers by improving the quality of their product. The fact that honest ...

Also sorry not to have the opportunity to meet up on Thursday. I hope your wife is better soon.

Hi Yves I can’t remember the last spec we used for a client. I always contact the Sika technical department; so do the same and ask them which will be the best product. It will be important to tell them the material you are applying the render to. I have had particular success applying a Sika produc...

Excellent job, looks good. One question, what have you lined the inside of the pit with. If there is no liner or damp barrier, you will likely get damp in there. One way of resolving that is to coat the walls and floor of the pit with a Sika Render product. It is what I specify for any of my clients...

Just seen your new garage, Richard. Just one but of advise; you need to insulate the walls and ceiling otherwise you will get condensation. With the construction you have in your timber framed garage it is easy. Put rock wool insulation between the framing, both on the walls and underside of the roo...

You ignore Roger Bywaters advice at your peril, my friend. He has forgotten more about the Jaguar V12 than most of us know. I look forward to seeing how this new tech works in a V12. Good luck, I shall watch with interest.

I think what Marek is saying makes sense. This could end up being a bit hit and miss, and you spend money on a system that clearly doesn’t work. The electronics in all of this is a bit above my pay-grade, but it is not something for the faint hearted, and certainly only for someone who is an experie...

I can only talk about my own car which has a new 6.0 litre XJS engine. The ignition is based on the original 16CU Lucas system but has an AJ6 Engineering ECU fitted in the boot ceiling panel panel forward of the OTS boot lid. The ECU is supplied by Roger Bywater, who owns AJ6. I also have his High T...

Thanks Steve for the links. Really interesting and will make up my mind.

Another alternative which I am currently enjoying on my car is the Italian Nardi wheel which Eagle fit to their cars. Go to the Eagle website and see it on their special cars. About the same price as a Moto-Lita, I think.

Hi Rob,
Who makes that and what is the model number?
