Re: tach question (I have read old posts)
Yes, that is the tacho from the earlier S1 car that uses the AC generator on the back of the camshaft.

Re: Oil pressure, one more round
It’s probably just the calibration of your gauge or sender. The only real test is to temporarily attach a capillary gauge (mechanical) to show real pressure.

Re: E-Type Fabs / Classic Fabs Exhaust System Price?
Hi there (what’s your name?), I recently fitted a Jaguar Heritage exuast and it certainly wasn’t mis-aligned as yours. I reckon yours has been damaged in storage or shipping. Mine fitted perfectly. Whatever your decision, you definitely need to return yours and either get a replacment or refund. Go ...

Re: Moss box help
Hi Mike,
There are only three places oil can leak out the rear housing - the gasket, the speedo drive or the rear seal. Are you sure it’s not leaking from the top cover or selector rod and running down the sides?

Re: Center console, originality
Yes, I moved them to somewhere where they had a chance of working! Factory placement was indeed either side of the radio console as per your console.

Re: Center console, originality
Hi Mikael, Your tunnel cover should have a matching aluminium top cover and red vinyl sides. Similarly, the missing radio console should also have a matching front cover and red vinyl sides (where the speaker grills are, but are a total waste of time - but that’s a whole other conversation!). The ge...

Re: 67 xke coupe 6 cylinder sender
Hi Mike, I photo might help to identify what you are seeing, however there shouldn’t be any other sender forward of the oil cleaner assembly. It sounds like a previous owner has fitted an additional sender into one of the oil gallery plugs along the side of the block. It may be for a low oil pressur...

Re: Hello - SW UK
I’ve rebuilt all three models of the S1 over the years and have some good comparison photos of the shape differences between the FHC and 2+2. Apart from the rear hatch, all the glass in the 2+2 is different. The doors are about 9” longer and the body tub is larger. The bonnet is identical. The headr...

Re: Front gearbox oil seal
Hi Andersen, I’m not sure if there should be a flange or not, but either way, the seal should be a very tight, interference fit and should not ever fall out; the flange should not affect whether it falls out or not. Also, I’m not too sure whether the flange would make any difference as there is not ...

Re: Roadster windscreen rubbers
Hi Andrew, I didn’t have any problems when I refitted a set recently - in fact they went on easily. The OTS screen rubber came from COH Baines. The chrome trim along the lower front however, was a whole different story! The new screen rubber was indeed very soft and pliable. Presume your hockey stic...

As long as the Sugar Scoops are not installed, it is an easy job to change the bonnet-side of that connector.

Ah yes, I see your challenge. So yes, the Map light is the light under the dash top that is also operated by either of the doors opening. The interior light is the light in the roof by the top of the rear hatch door. By all means take loads of photos of the wiring as you find it, but absolutely alwa...

Re: Two electrical questions
Hi Mikael, The wiring diagram will give you all these answers, but yes, you are correct with your guesses. There is a ballast resistor on the panel light switch to give you dim and not so dim (Jaguar called it bright!) for the gauges. You do have a wiring digram, right? @Julian, love your indicator ...

The second picture is a later DIY repair and not original. Stick to the original wiring diagram for referrence. The third issue - I’ve always replaced both p...
