The 'E' Type Forum

Malcolm, having done this a few times I could drop round to help, let's chat next Monday JDC meeting?
Regarding Dave's point, I used a pulley attached to a strong point in the garage roof to lift the head evenly. It takes the weight while you steady the head to the correct angle.

Malcolm, here's is Andrew Bowie's advice on removing the bonnet. It is so easy to do and single handed if needed: http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6058&hilit=Bonnet Christopher is right about the ease of then moving the head and you'll need a couple of blocks of wood to support the head ...

Sorry, Angus, that's one day I just can't make

Geoff

Does the above help?

Brrrr! It’s a bit cold. Anyone know how to light the boiler pilot flame?

You could try rubbing two Boy Scouts together

Robert, it would help if you told us which series car you have, S2 has different horn control to S1.
Add it to your signature. Sorry can't help otherwise

Geoff

David, you're very hard work is really appreciated. We would all be lost without this valuable resource.

Call the doctor? I think it's too late, Rory. You've obviously not been taking your medicine properly.
Nurse, bring the syringe

Andrew, like others my thoughts are with you and your family. I don't normally read PC but will get this one and read more of your story.

Best wishes to you.

Julian, can I ask about the Horn Push Assembly (C16070) you sell? Unfortunately, it does not replicate the original, colour, size of Growler. Is there a reason for this, for example copyright? In that JLR will not let you make exact copies? Or you decided against in case you were infringing copyrigh...

Evans did a presentation recently where they said their system was the same as in Spitfire's Merlin engines as they ran on pure glycol. I had to correct them and point out that although RR first tried glycol only cooling they soon found out that a mix of glycol and water gave better cooling. Evans' ...

I've a 2014 year Michelin 205/70 R15 with less than 2000 miles use and still in good condition. If you are buying Michelin then this could be a useful spare. One way of reducing your total expenditure

Geoff

Julian, welcome to the forum and thank you for your willingness to put your head above the parapet. Unfortunately most of us, me included, are too willing to remember the bad experiences and not all the good ones. The good ones are much greater than the bad ones and I'm very grateful for the help I ...

Twin spark head anyone? http://www.restogusto.com/product/cylinder-heads/

Malcolm, more about it here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12161&start=20 (post no. 36)

Thank you, David

David, you say the lead shot was in S1 OTS, do you know why it wasn't used for the S2 or S3?

Thank, Geoff

what is the current legislation regarding the use of fuel containing ethanol in light aircraft? I seem to remember it was illegal, is that still the case? Simon With the caveat that I've hung up my headset, ethanol and aircraft fuel systems and engines don't go well together. Attacking rubber compo...
