You have low voltage...
It's a 12v system....so needs looking at....what's the voltage at the battery ?... Steve

So you need 4 sets to install your irs?

Welcome to the forum.....why if you have an early cars with original parts would you want to replace them with something different.....is your starter working?...drive the cat.. use it.....then work out what you think need fixing...Steve

Mike...you could calculate what's needed by measuring from the bellhouseing face to the flywheel....and from the face of the starter to the pinion ...the plate is around 1/8 in ....Steve

You need the bushes (ring dowels) as well to locate the plate to the bellhouseing and get the starter in the correct position

Standard set up yes you need a spigot plate amd yes without it the ting gear can hit the starter pinion and cause horrendous noise...yes xj6 dod gone as Standard transmission...but you need to count the teeth to ensure its correct..Steve

It's not a seat foam...see post above..it upholstered.. layers of wading and foam on a spring base...Steve

Hi Mark...you need the cylinder with the reaction valve
....you need to assess you cylinder..if the bore is ok then just fit replacement seals...Steve

I think if you drill out the rivets holding the cover on then you can fit your new internals into your old cover....Steve

Hi Tom...I was trying to pointing out how the light works with the oil pressure switch....if it comes on when the engine is running you haven't got ignition problems you have a lack of oil pressure. So although the lamp is called an ignition warning lamp understanding how it works gives you far more...

Look at the wireing diagram for your car chassis number.. some have an oil pressure switch forward of the oil filter housring...its an on/off and operated the red warning lamp in the speedo....some think the red lamp is an ignition warning lamp but it was used in pre 3AW...Steve. "In early cars, inc...

assuming the damper is out when you do it..as you lift the piston you should be able to tell if the needle is lifting straight out of the jet and not scraping on the sides....Steve

Great...Steve

Yes..correct..fuel should be about 5/16in down the jet.......Steve

Sounds like the float chamber needles arnt closeing so the fuel overflows up the jet....could be the floats not adjusted correctly or you have floats that are filling up with fuel and not floating or the needle valves arnt sealing correctly...Steve.....note that you should be able to remove the su c...

What model..Have a look here and follow the links...yes there is a tool or a pair of thin long nose pliers work..Steve viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18775&p=152094&hili ... EY#p152094

Open the bonnet and look at the fan belts..they go around the crank. Waterpump. Alternator air con and power steering pump which has the reservoir attached....also look at the knowledge base section....parts catalogues and service manual all the info there you could possibly need...Steve

Hi..just to add...the drawing shows the caliper mount shims....Steve

As Andrew mentions above..the parts catalogue is you friend..the drawings dosnt show shims (only caliper mount bolt shims)...the section in the service manual refering to removeing/refitting the steering arm also covers the calipers and mentions shims....I think the shims are for the latter....Steve

Yes you are correct...Steve
