Re: Help with heating ventilation controls on dashboard

How about adding your name (and car type) to your signature. Accessed from clicking on your user name. We can be more polite that way and for other questions people will know how to answer appropriately. Owners manuals are available and will help you understand the heating and other controls.

Don’t thank me, all Julian and I did was to be the naughty boys at the back of the classroom waiting for the headmaster to turn the lights on!

Re: Dial test indicator

Follow Rory’s advice, even if it means waiting till you’ve got the head on. And if you do buy the dial gauge, try checking at the 90 degree position to cross check how accurately you’ve measured at actual TDC.

George, I’d seen the same problem and had waited to see if it cleared. Obviously not. It’s a very useful website and I could wish it was hosted on here if Chris isn’t keeping it going.

Re: JDC JEC or E-type club

Serge, you can still join both the JEC and JDC as they have sections all over Europe.
Bill, keep us up to date on how you get on and how the local area club works. Good luck in finding a group you enjoy being with.

Bill, contact each club and ask if they’ll send you a copy of a recent magazine to read and where their local clubs meet. Some areas have large and active membership with mainly social evenings rather than old blokes talking about the size of their gudgeon pins and can have a large number of lady me...

Re: Registration in Italy rejected - EEC-homologation - help wanted

Jan, don’t rely on online posts in club forums. Contact the club directly as they have some very experienced and knowledgeable people who have helped many with getting ex-US cars registered. And they will be a good place to ask about homologation of the engine identification. Also, we are encouraged...

Re: Registration in Italy rejected - EEC-homologation - help wanted

Jan, the biggest Jaguar club in the UK is the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club https://jec.org.uk/ You might find it worth contacting them to find if they have answers to your questions or know who to talk to. The cost of joining the club is easily outweighed by the savings you get at SNG Barratt as a club m...

Re: Which fuel to use?

Besides going to an airfield to buy avgas where else can you buy 100 octane fuel? And why do you want that? E5 and E10 are all the standard fuels in Europe which you surely buy at all the normal petrol stations for your other cars. And which you’ll have to use in your E Type in the future, unless yo...

Re: Which fuel to use?

You don’t need lead, can you get premium 98 octane e5 from Esso, Shell, etc.? If you can you’ll be fine. Don’t worry about all these claims of having to put exotic fuels in your car. If you can only get e10 95 octane you may need to de-tune the engine to avoid pinking, but you’ll know how to do that...
