Hej Anders,
Wellcome!
Where in Sweden are you located? I have a summer house close to Eksjö. But living in Germany, In don't dare to bring my beloved E-Type to Sweden - too long distance, fear of rain and a lot of gravvel roads.
Beautiful colour!

"Soft" break
Happy New Year to all of you! My S3 OTS has recently developed a bit of a strange behaviour. When I use the breaks, the pedal feels rather soft. I think, a bit softer than usual. If I "pump" the pedal, like going off the pedal and back on, it feels much harder. That means, I feel more resistance and...

Re: E-Type rookie in Denmark, with a project, 63 3.8 FHC LHD
Hello and welcome,
Recently I read in a German oldtimer magazine about a person that is specialized in new wiring looms. He might have done E-Types before.
Best regards
Gerhard

Re: Tyres
Hello and welcome to the forum. I am using Vredestein tires and they work fine for me. Although I am using them in the original size, as I believe that larger tires don't look very authentic. An "aggressive look" for a vintage E-Type seems like pink glitter nail polish for a distinctive old English ...

Hello Everybody, Thank you all very much for your input! I am a bit scared to try it myself, but the watchmaker of our village will come tomorrow to have a look. I will show him your post, Jerry. Excessive float was not on my list. I was rather suspecting dirt or old grease. Anyway, with this input,...

Sticking Rev Counter
Hello everybody, Just recently, I found the rev counter on my S3-OTS sticking. It feels like the rev counter shows a lower value. When knocking on the front glass, it suddenly jumps to a higher value. Is this normal? It appears as if the lubrication inside got sticky over time. I am tempted to give ...

Re: Zeus Brakes
Hello Mike, Here is what I would do: I would not try to bring the car to another MOT-station. I would rather bring the car to a good garage that knows the E-Type well, e.g. "Peters" in Roedermark (close to Frankfurt). And ask them to get the cat through the procedure. You might want to call them bef...

Re: V12 Getrag 265 bellhousing
Hello, If you can't get a good answer, you might consider to ask Automobile Individuell Peters in Rödermark/Germany. Mr. Peters sen. told me that he was the first to combine the E-Type engine with the Getrag gear box. Many years before, he was a Jaguar dealer as well as a BMW dealer at the same time...

Re: Exhaust manifold
Hi Sven, My car got 2 new manifolds recently, done by Peters in Rödermark. They told me that during an exchange of the old manifolds, most likely a few stud bolts (Stehbolzen) will break and you have to drill them out. For that job, you will need a drill template, otherwise you risk to land up in th...

Re: Where do you go for a garage service
There are 2 companies in Rödermark. They don't really like each other. There is a bit of history about that. But that's nothing that should be discussed in public

Re: Where do you go for a garage service
Hello Ralf,
Where are you based?
There are a few recommendable addresses in Germany and a few with mixed feedback.
I brought mine to Peters in Roedermark. Very knowledgeable people there.
Extra Mobile has also a good reputation, but there will be some more.
Best regards
Gerhard
