The 'E' Type Forum

Hi all, I've finally decided to place the EFI ECU on the passenger side in the car: https://i.postimg.cc/QdfyfpYW/20191213-184957.jpg I've then shorten the wiring loom to get it fit to the car https://i.postimg.cc/5029Zqfd/20191204-195229.jpg Reduction of the wiring loom :hammerdrill: https://i.post...

Maybe this is because the spring below is nt there:

I finally found one on Ebay, in the US. I hope now that the old pulley can be fixed on the xjs part without too much problem. I ll keep the forum informed😀 Go the pulley last Friday. Close to the XJS one, https://i.postimg.cc/V659hDmQ/20191027-102212.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/d0fZhvPp/20191027-120051...

The xjs engine is a 1989 one and i use the late kind of water pump. I do not have issue on this side. Only on the oil tube comming from the oil filter. I m far from home. I will try to take pictures closer when I m back. I can show at least this one : https://i.postimg.cc/prSwftgn/20191013-154021.jpg

Finally, I've purchased the connector with Barrat, dont talk to me about the price please.....




Rubber flaps in palce and wiring on its way. I do use shrink tube with glue.

No pb! This indicates me a possible solution.

Hi Paul,

Thank for your proposal.

Maybe. It depends from the 3d pulley diameter.
It has to be smaller than the 2 other ones.
I m waiting for your picture.

Hi Peter
The problem is more that the belt touch the large tube coming from the oil filter than the rev speed from the steering pump. As you said it should work even if it is a bit low.
Because the diameter is larger on the engine side, the belt is too down.
Hope my explanation is clear.

:hammerdrill: This morning new water pump in place on the xjs engine from my S3. I though to be on the way to finish the front of the engine, place the belts, the alternator the radiator and then plan to work on the next step : the wiring looms. I m now stuck because of the crankshaft pulley. The 3d...

Yes you're right, 3mm will be too rigid.
Thank you Philip.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, installing a 130 amp alternator seems unwise. Let's look at the possible demands. Headlights on full beam. 10 amps. Side/rear/no plate/instrument lights....say 5 amps. The brake lights are on..4amps. Indicators on... another 4 amps. The heater blower is on.....

For my part , As I do not have Butec, I'll use the same alternator than yours Philip. I finally found a pulley. It has had to be reworked as it was too thick to match with the output shaft.

Have you finally decided where you are going to place the ECU and how you will do with the long xjs loom ?
As E Type UK, under the seat sounds to be a good place.

Hi Michel My car is parked at my local Jag dealer but I will try to pop around to get pics for you. I use the original fans. There is IMO no need for high power VW fans or the high speed they offer .... IF .... the cooling system as a whole is good and correct. Consider that my car has aircon and i...

AutoSparks sell them at an extortionate price.

Autosparks replies me that they do not have this connetor.

Hi Michel My car is parked at my local Jag dealer but I will try to pop around to get pics for you. .... Hi Philip, yes I will take care of your remark about the rubber flaps. But finally the holes from the rivets are alredy at the right place. I'll have a look to the thermostat as you discribe. Th...

Thank you to post an answer. I started from so far on my restoration that I’ll not have a 100% original car anyway. I’ve an XJS engine (I'm still questionning myself :scratchheadyellow: about the ECU to be used. We already have exchanged about that)and a Getrag gearbox. So I’m already very far from ...
