Hello, what do you want to restore in your car? Can you tell me in detail?

Your first post on the forum should be an introduction ...are you a spammer?

Plenty of knowledge on Facebook JDC historic https://www.facebook.com/share/RU7CpUMVQeCY3XUd/ also Shapecraft Northampton for the bonnet ..Steve

Darryl...your thermostat dosnt look closed....it has a gap thus giving you 13mm if completely closed it would be more like 11mm.... Steve

Ian...Bluecol is available all over the place in 5lt just google it..Steve https://skcstores.co.uk/products/blueco ... tion-5-ltr

Read the posts above....it isnt a kit that you can purchase its parts adapted to suite....Steve

I think it just proves that your choke isn't working correctly...Steve

Read the original post....it clearly states the poster has a S2..Steve

Hi Simon...yes as Steve mentions above...correct dipstick aside it's essential to measure the correct amount of oil into a dry engine then mark its level on your dipstick...A split rear seal dosnt inspire me with confidence...iv read about too many of them leaking..especially critical is how well th...

Hi Simon.. is your breather plumbed into the air intake..also quite ofter the rear sump seal is the culprit..Steve

Hi Phil..yes sounds like simple maths but we're talking thousands of an inch...yes you torqued the bearing caps but what torque were they befor? Did you look close at the shims. Typically a slight circular indentation forms where they sit on the valve so this needs to be factored in especially if yo...

Hi Mike..how about replying to your last post where you wanted help on the center console befor asking for more help

Typically bent metal tabs hold it on..have a look here..very easy to find if you use the search function viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10030&p=79274&hilit ... ole#p79274

Choke mechanism instructions on page C4 service manual...easier to get to if you remove the air filter assembly.

Hi Jerome..there is no carb info in the S2 section of the service manual becaus it is the same as that in the 3.8 section and the same as the information in the buff S2 Operating. Maintenance and service handbook.. again refering to when the choke lever is operated to the point where the mixture scr...

Jerome..see the service manual ..as mentioned there is a great set up section for carbs...from service manual "jet levers move 5/8 (16mm)"..Steve

Jerry...Read Geoff.s post again....he refers to a new poster.. as per the original poster who never replied..Steve

Hi Paul.....you need to look inside your thermostat houseing where the foot of the thermostat meets to block off the bypass from the waterpump...if a prebious owner has removed the thermostat they may well have blocked the bypass....Steve

That is not the bypass its the air bleed vent..havent seen that little "jiggle pin" in there before but its quite typical for them to be fitted to a thermostat. It lets air bleed back. The thermostat isn't stuck in the houseing that you've removed is it?.. Steve
