The last paragraph above is nonsense

The first three are dubious as well!

There is more information here: http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?p=65692#p65692

Good idea to braze on a piece of brass though.

It is that sort of reporting, misinformation and wilfull lying that makes us glad to be out of the EU. No empty shelves here and we are making a concious effort to avoid buying any EU goods. No more French wine and German cars. I am sure other countries are consideriung following our lead.

Relay conversion along with the latest generation super-bright halogen bulbs from Phillips or Ring. http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4919 HID will not fit and would not be legal as they require headlamp washers and self levelling suspension. LED's are a similar legal minefield and there ...

If all four are the same they cant be for 2+2.

It says nothing about 2+2's in the post, just S1/2

Much like in the UK the Police have a finite amount of time to prosecute. Two weeks in the UK, 350 days in Italy; no idea what it is in France.

To quote Clarkson - "France, the greatest race track in the World". Have personally used it many times by staying on B and C roads. Game on, there is life after Covid!

Best news yet about Brexit - the French can no longer pusue British drivers for speeding once they have left the country and it applies to all EU states. Equally, as we want to be fair to our European neighbours, we can't fine them if they find an opportunity to go fast over here. To be clear the Po...

No, but I seem to recall J D Classics were selling a carbon fibre prop-shaft for the E-Type about 12 years ago.

So basically a six speed with four usable gears?

My T5 is still superb.

Rory Simpson (rfs1957) made a batch of them, no idea if he has any left: http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13128

Follow the manufacturers instructions to the letter. For our 993, Porsche specify Mobil 1 and I have only once deviated from that at the suggestion of a well known specialist based on cost. The result was an odd gurgling noise from the engine until it fully warmed up. Sounded like a cross between se...

Works here in Nottingham and in Paris and in Frankfurt, I can try other places if you want. Is Fleet in a third world country

The gear lever gaiter on the later 4.2 cars was made of synthetic Ambla. Jaguar used Connolly Vaumol leather for the seats on all E-Type's. http://i.imgur.com/7ugutmE.jpg - Vaumol was patented by Connolly in 1939 - The base colour and clear top coat were cellulose and sprayed on - it is not through ...

Refit the filament H4 bulbs and see if they work as intended. Matter of problem finding step by step. If the Halogen's work OK you know it is an LED problem and wiring is OK.

Yes, and we found it first without any EU assistance or money :dance: Interestingly I was reading this morning that we have so far administered over one million doses of the vaccine compared to 591 doses by France and 200,000 by Germany. It seems Angela Merkel refused to allow Germany, France and It...
