I shan’t mind if you post it to me

If you look at this thread: http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16489
You’ll see advice of how it’s done from our headmaster Heuer

Bryan, if you do get into using imgur it will automatically resize photos, if that helps and your son can help you either set up an account there or use the advice Steve (mgcjag) gave.
Ask away with questions, this is the best place for friendly advice and help for all things E Type

Hello Phoenix, do you have a name instead of just a username? Why not add it to your signature area as well as the car version. It’ll help people address you in a friendly way and know just which car you’re needing help for in future postings. I use imgur to host photos online then use the link in t...

Last night I received an email notification of a PM. David, you've been working hard behind the scenes again, thank you as always.

Harvey, if you plan to listen to DAB you won’t get good reception with an old fashioned aerial even with a so called booster. You could look at dabonwheels but you won’t find the pull up aerial type.

Roy, I had a similar problem for my project S2 and have an XJ6 switch attached to the steering lock. Not fitted or wired in yet but by a series of tests to check which wires are live in each position I made up a matrix diagram of connections. Don’t know how similar the switches are but it could be y...

Donal, I trust you have a copy of the owner’s manual and have looked here: http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=700 Colour diagrams and location of wiring looms are very helpful, plus this company will sell you a book of wiring diagrams broken into sections to make it easier to follow: http...

Good for you Julian et al.

Jenks was known to say that any car with enamel still on the manifold reflected a driver who wasn’t driving the car positively enough. This from a man who regarded 4000 as a good cruise RPM and who regularly took them up to and over 5000

Rod, I'm not a million miles away from you (less than 10 actually), so if you decide to do the work yourself I'd be happy to drop round (well not closer than 2 metres :wink: ) and share my experiences of rebuilding the IRS. As everyone has said it isn't difficult, a bit of a lump to manoeuvre and re...

Steve, now I know you offer 24hr technical support, when I can’t sleep and something E type related is playing on my mind can I phone you at 3 in the morning? Angus’s phone is always turned off for some reason. :shrug: :lol: Steve, quick! Add his phone number to the “unwanted” list on your phone :l...

Steve, does that mean Andrew will have to share the £3000 saving with you, now?

I just received a Wiring book that I purchased from a UK seller and the first page I turned to had a blown up wiring diagram of the switch panel, albeit reversed for a RHD Jag, Bob Are you sure it is reversed and not being viewed from behind the panel? If you are wiring the panel you would be doing...

Tony, you might try searching for Unipart car fuses or British Leyland, eg:

MOT passed today :bigrin: with compliments from the tester for the condition of the car. I agree it is useful to have an independent check for although we all try to keep our cars in good working order there can always be little things that crop up or have gradually changed without us noticing. Espe...

I know it has been a short time since posted but it got A LOT of looks already. Charlie, you were much more relaxed in your restoration topic :bigrin: Good to hear from you again and I hope all is otherwise going well. Please do tell us if it works, that’ll be a great way to work on bonnet fitting....

Welcome to the best place for all things E Type. Your car looks very neat. Please add your name and car type to the signature area. It’s far nicer to respond by using your real name not user name. And if we know what car you have it’s much easier to address answers that can be specific to model. And...

Andy, good luck making good what others have bodged.

Geoff

Andy, the fitment of BD27268 and shims can affect the closing. Mine had one fitted the wrong way. Like many of these things lots of fettling to get a satisfactory fit.
