Re: Inaccurate oil dipstick reading
Hi, The most dangerous thing is to be in ignorance. I advise you to carry out a complete oil change with a new filter and measure the oil collected. This will give you a better idea of the amount of oil in your engine. Put back a filter, 8L5 of new oil and then you can ask yourself whether your dips...

Re: Prop shaft doesn't fit through the tunnel!!??
Hi Andy,
why not correct or have the diameter corrected on a lathe?
You'd have a better chance of keeping it completely balanced.
If it really is balanced, changing the flange will damage it.

Re: Lazy Starting
Jeremy,
When you dismount the air intake box, you can do it leting the seal in place. Just unscrew the 2 wing nuts, pull gently towards and upward you to release the 2 screws and turn clockwise the box taking care to keep in line with the seal. Easy to do and good by the pig.

Hi Carsten
From memory, I think I saw 2 captive nuts on the brake reservoir mounting bracket.

Re: Seat serie2 into serie 1
Hi Geoff I already have the MX5 seats in my car, Angus having strongly recommended them to me you can imagine! Sitting all the way back, I have to recline the backrest a lot to get my upper body in the correct position, but my legs aren't in as comfortable position as they were in my coupé with the ...

Hi Mats Beautiful car :bigrin: https://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8291&start=20 I had already thought about this problem of course. As for the height, I agree with you, it's too low without question. As for the central position, they are at the same level as those in the Jaguar document. ...

Re: Seat belts OTS
Hi all, Update. I've found the third point for my seat belts. I was looking for it at the top as indicated on the jaguar documents, but in fact it was lower and much more logically below the soft top when folded. I just needed to remove the plastic screw and make the holes in the lining. https://i.p...

Re: Jet centring method
Without spring, the piston fall down slowly and progressively, that's correct!
From the factory, each piston are paired with his " bell"
Don't sand the piston...
As the piston are close to the bell, even if you have a spring the sound can't be very hard but metallique anyway

Re: Jet centring method
Sorry, I don't agree. When the carburettor is removed from the car , the piston makes a metallic sound when it hits the "bridge" which is normal for 2 metal parts hitting each other. . It all depends on what you mean by thud and metallic sound. The sound is not that of a hammer on a good anvil, whic...

Re: Jet centring method
Hi Phil,
You say that without the diaphragm/jet you don't get any metallic noise when the piston falls ? That's surprising.
Is the piston stroke free, without obstacles?
Do you put the piston upright as it is into the engine?

Hi,
Don't you have simply the "hot key" syndrome ?

I had this and put a relay as explain. Work fine now.
