John and Lola,

Christopher, Angus,
A simple small relay will overcome this aspect very neatly stored next to the switch

All the E-types l have seen have the OSH switch and escutchon. But on my S1 l have fitted the OSHF switch and escutchon taken off an MK2, because l wanted to fit a rear fog light. Have opted for Marek's reverse light which illuminates white for reverse and strong red for fog. Underneath the escutcho...

Carsten, sorry for you, when it is such a bad mechanical week it is preferable to take a deep breath and stop any wrenching for the week-end and get busy with something totally different

My advice would be to tighten to 30 lb, then take the car for a drive on a bumpy and twisty road, then retighten again and lock-wire.

Hi Peter, how do you know it is pertaining to 878079?

Congrats Rory

And we've celebrated the New Year and our new freedom by drinking a decent bottle of English sparkling wine. None of that cheap Champagne, Cava or Prosecco :dance: :wavegreatbritain: And now you've even got your British Covid :wavegreatbritain: :bigrin: , please limit this one's exports. :drinkingc...

I have opted for this Porsche 928 jack, very compact and sturdy. Have cut/filed the lifting nipple to a square shape, and fitted a hard plastic on top that now can fit into the original square lifting points on the car.

Inviting him to join this forum is probably the best gift you can make in relation with his present passion.

John, check the fuses on the fuse block.
The same fuse that feeds the rev counter feeds as well the rear stop lamps and the radiator fan.

I had the same happening...

I have been lucky in obtaining a good fitment in a fairly limited number of attempts by following the procedure described by 288gto here above, and I was alone.
