Re: Building an Engine Test Bed
Looks great Rory. When we can travel, I’ll be over to collect it personally!
Ethanol
Just had this from a friend who asked Esso if their Super unleaded contained ethanol.... “There is currently no requirement for renewable fuel (such as ethanol) to be present in super unleaded petrol. Esso super unleaded petrol (branded Esso Energy Synergy Supreme+ 99) is ethanol free (except, due t...

Re: £300K Series 3 anyone ?
Always a fascinating debate. We tend to use our cars for long distance journeys and I left my current car (S1 4.2 FHC) LHD as we tend to drive more on the Continent. For me, they shouldn't rattle, get hot, be noisy inside and everything should work (they did when they were new). A standard E Type is...

Re: "Torpedo" armrests/door pulls????!!!
Its a spacer about 7/8" long (measure it up in the door) and was only made of plastic tubing. Needs to be thick walled about 1/2" diameter with a hole big enough for the self tapper to go through.

Re: "Torpedo" armrests/door pulls????!!!
Not all S2 cars were fitted with armrests. The reason the area where you pull the door shut is flimsy is because you are probably missing the long self tapper that goes through the chrome near the door lock, through the card and screws directly into the door shell. They are normally missing but easy...

Re: Small bracket on gearbox mount
It’s the remains of one of the mountings for the forward heat shield. New ones come with it fitted.

Re: Stoneleigh spares day
IIRC the event was run by the now defunct JCC? We had a stall in March and have to say, picked up quite a bit of business even though it was quiet (Julians mob weren't there ;) ).

Re: Am I overheating?
Paul,
while you have the Otter switch out, check the temperature range of that as well. Might not be switching off at the correct temperature.

Re: Top 10 E-Type models
I agree. I also believed that the last 3.8s were fitted with the later box but can see no evidence to support this.

Re: Noise at front of engine
Christopher, no problem (in fact, I didn't listen to the video as I have no sound at work so you are probably correct!).
Removing the belt is always my favoured option as it very quickly identifies where the issue could be.

Re: Top 10 E-Type models
Lots of early numbers in the early 4.2 range but none that I can see in late 3.8s.

Re: Top 10 E-Type models
Just checked the box. Casting date is 2nd October 63
EJ819 stamped in the same place as the Moss box and not on the top plate.
