Hi Marek - I'd certainly be interested to buy one from you (at a reasonable price).
Look forward to future developments (from your 3D printer!)
All the best
Chris

Re: S3 Decals and positions - UK spec 2+2
All decals and their positions for RHD and LHD Series 3's are set out on pages 173 through 180 of Richard T Russ's 1991 book: "Jaguar V-12 E-Type A Guide to Authenticity". If you PM me letting me know the specific decals to which you're referring, I'll try to advise their positions based on the book...

Re: Series 3 XKE throttle cable stuck
Hi - I have not experienced a stuck thottle cable but I have replaced that cable a year or so ago on a just-in-case basis. The nut (and washer) - page 25.55 of the parts catalogue - on the inside of the firewall should be clearly visible once any offending trim has been removed and the inner cable h...

Hi Bob - hope all's well.

Re: Door waist/glass seal 2+2
Hi Bob - this self isolation seems to make it compulsory to spend time in the garage getting those jobs done which get deferred under more normal circumstances. I recently replaced my passenger and driver door assemblies so had to fit the windows and all the trim parts before hanging the doors. If y...

Series 3 V 12 Engine Parts
I'm about to have my Pre HE engine rebuilt. I see that SNGB does not have a number of the engine parts in stock/no longer available. SNGB does have pistons and liners (made by Mahle) but they are for 7.8:1 comp ratio, not 9:1. Can you please advise preferred supplier of engine parts and particularly...

Tony and Phillip - many thanks for your responses.
Phillip - did you get a chance to look at the photo of my choke and advise your thoughts on the correct orientation when re-assembling?

Re: Series 3 2+2 1972 - Ignition Issues
Philip, Adrian, Tony - many thanks for your very helpful responses. Could well be a fuel issue. I replaced the plugs with a cleaner set and also checked the plug leads - the resistances of the "silicon" leads (as supplied by SNGB a year or so ago) were quite variable in terms of "ohms per inch lengt...

Re: Series 3 2+2 1972 - Ignition Issues
Tony and Colin - many thanks for your responses. To answer Tony's questions first: 1. How did the car start and run before you did any of this work It started reasonably well although slightly reluctant and ran OK but there was a flat spot which prompted me to do the rebuild of the carbs 2. Had the ...

My Series 3 is fitted with the SNGB electronic ignition replacement (DAB113HE) although I do not have the records to know when it was fitted by a PO. I fairly recently fitted a vacuum advance with vacuum source from rear side of rear lh inlet manifold and timing was re-set to suit. Original vacuum r...

Hi - my 1972 Series 3 2+2 has an after-market Hollandia electric sunroof.

Given that Steve used to fit these sunroofs, he's your best bet BUT parts...
