The 'E' Type Forum

BD35681 is a rubber expansion anchor, basically a rubber plug with a brass nut molded into the end. Tightening the screw draws in the nut which expands the rubber behind the seat back. Holes should be there, seats are recovered? You should be able to feel the 1 cm holes through the covering ... http...

72 US spec; charcoal canister on the bulkhead behind the battery.

Imo 2.88 is a better match for an E with monster torque. Two real world considerations, wheelspin and gear change lag. The torque you can apply is limited by wheelspin. For the same car (mass, gears, tyres) wheelspin depends on torque and diff ratio. With a 3.54 diff, 272 Nm will cause an S3E to whe...

Here is pic of the most valuable tool in my workshop. Goes on the end of the vacuum cleaner hose, relies on suction holding the dropped part while you carefully lift it out. Never failed me yet, except, don't accidently suck up anything flammable, vac cleaner explodes ... https://i.postimg.cc/cCC6Mb...

That's a lot of HP. Uncharted territory for a Jag OD? That aside, it would depend on yr current diff, US manual I guess 3.54? Here is comparison of 3.54+OD versus 2.88. Imo not much difference ...

Double check it has the correct pinion. Pre engine 7S7000 need a 29 mm diameter pinion. Later engines used 25 mm diameter (smaller teeth).

If you do find some, they will most likely be straight, with fittings, that you will need to bend into shape yourself. If necessary any hydraulic (e.g. brake or steering) shop should be happy to make parts up for you if you know the length and the end flare and fitting required. Don't skimp on the q...

Part of SNGB special order part no. SRC12R?

I read on this forum somewhere obscure: When you "Add image to post" the text it adds to yr post starts and finishes with stuff in square brackets including "url". If you delete these 2 outer square brackets (incl the contents), everyone, not just persons signed up to Postimages, will be able to zoo...

Glypho is our go to. Although we don't mind a bit of greenery. Plus it helps to camouflage the leaked oil ...

US cars have different cut-out.

Imo looks better without this bit of bling ...

Ok, got it, thermostatic valve not used for early or late non ex/em, thx.

4.23 m

Clever detective work, imo does indicate early non ex/em cars did not have thermostatic valves. Not convinced about late cars however, 25.32 does show the thermostatic valve. Unless there was an undocumented late model non ex/em that didn’t? What have you got that plugs the hole where the thermostat...

- if you look at the Parts Manual link, you'll see that Jaguar eventually just connected the retard unit directly to the lower left hand carburettor port.)

I'm not seeing this, if true, totally illogical?

You should be able to see the expansion tank tucked away in front of the filler pipe:


The charcoal canister is in the engine bay, on the footwell bulkhead behind the battery:

Do you have a gulp valve? This thing (C34018), it is a diaphragm valve that pops open on heavy decel, bypassing the carbs. https://i.postimg.cc/GtdB7Wxm/WP-20180803-09-41-29-Pro.jpg Include it in the things to be disconnected and connection (to the balance pipe) plugged. If its diaphragm is perished...

Sounds like you still have vacuum leaks. This is why the revs don’t follow the throttle, the leak is providing alternative air flow, most noticeable at idle when air requirement is lowest and vacuum is highest. When driving, the problem will be less noticeable, the leak will be an insignificant port...

Vacuum gauge may give useful info.
Also, at idle, a sheet of paper over any one of the carbs should have negligible impact, otherwise not as balanced as u think ...?
