Re: 1961 Jaguar E-Type DHC - South Africa

I loved that car, when I have seen it in RMO Youtube footage of the Amelia Island Bonham's auction. https://youtu.be/w27HPg17GaM?feature=shared at 6:49 Who would have thought it would end up in SA. Let me know where you are, so I can come round to say hello next time. Send me an Email to: maikel.lem...

OK , my 2 cents worth ....I think posts like this are excellent - we should complain when parts are sub-standard . In the UK we don`t tend to complain enough :| If we all keep quiet , how are things ever going to improve ? One example ... Ordered a vac capsule from one of the usual suspects ( name ...

Glad to hear you had a positive result Maikel. As someone who’s bought more parts from SNGB than i’d planned to since buying an e type, I’ve always had great service from them with prompt deliveries. I returned some overordered parts recently and was swiftly refunded with no quibbles. In contrast a...

Here`s an idea - why not check parts before sending them out to the customer , it would save a lot of time and hassle . :roll:

Could actually be a very good idea :yeahthat:

Well done SNGB 👏 Today I received a perfectly new manifold and they have picked up the faulty one!!! https://i.postimg.cc/wTwYP9DR/20230915-103523.jpg Excellent service and I am really very positively surprised. Especially as Julian sent me a mail saying that they have no return postage service due ...

@caveman Good to hear I am not the only one, have seen some other comments regarding spare parts quality and it seems to be a common issue. I guess most of us do not bother to follow it up. But that does not improve the situation. @mgcjag Hi Steve, many thanks, lets hope I do get a reaction. I will ...

@DWW in a normal world, we do have in Germany a free return right with online trading without even giving a reason. Wherever I buy something online, very seldom I have to return something, but if, I get a free return label from the seller via email. This is certainly not the case with SNGB in the Ne...

Parts quality!?

Good day to all members, I am writing because I want to know if I am just unlucky with the SNGB quality or if it is the best they can do? Bought a rear manifold, and for some reason, I had expected something really nice as they are praised in the forum as much better than the originals. What is your...

Good day, took me some time to post the video. Sorry for the delay, but you might still be interested to see it to make up your own mind. There are always good deals, bargains. I do not care about the entrance fee or fuel cost, the money I am saving on parts even pays for the dinner with friends. Pl...

Re: Bodyshell acid dipping

Hi, you newd to make sure tobhave at least 2 holes in eaxh cave. The shell itself is mounted to a rotation frame which will aid to flush the acid out. Finally it will all be cleaned with a high pressure water and protected with a kind of oil/grease layer which is what you see on the body. Hope this ...

Re: Heater fan motor

Here is a picture of my unrestored early December 61 car 885289 for all those for being period correct on the heater fan motor. I am not sure when the change over was. I think I also have at least one for sale. Just in case but the one offered looks good. https://i.postimg.cc/cHSyVcff/20221204-13501...

Re: Jaguar Spares day

Good day, interesting to read these comments here. And it also tells me how ambiguous things can be. Where some people find the fuel for 100 miles too expensive to get there, or the event not interesting enough for the parts which are offered, other people like my friends and me do go there for fun....
