no as it is all together i can't see the point in taking it apart again until i know how long the arm should be, without trying to sound grumpy is the anyone who can answer this question as all i seem to be getting is more questions ? the motor looks right and works the only thing is the restricted ...

the motor obviously is going round as the wipers go back and forth the only thing that controls how far the travel is the motor arm to wiper driven arm ratio (the is no play so it is not due to worn parts) as to the motor being original , who knows i assume it has been replaced with one that has the...

if you read the first post you will see that i was asking about the length of the arm because the wipers on my car only wipe about half of what they should if someone can tell me what length center to center the motor arm should be i could check mine as i think it is short , it would be easy to remo...

hi the motor is round , but it is a import lhd it may have been changed, of the 2 options which has longest arm and what length should it be ?

is it possible to change the clutch on a v12 without removing the engine ?

well done warren i wish i had come as far as you i to have swapped the lhd dash and glovebox round by drilling out the spot welds and reversing the bends in the steel and a bit of steel bashing worth doing as you can pick up lhd stuff for pennies, also well done for painting it yourself if i was usi...

i have taken lots of before and after photos and when i have it sitting on all four wheels i will do a what's what type explanation, i would call it more of a "updating resurrection" than restoration as 99% is jaguar quite a lot is from different models for instance it is a series 2 2+2 with a xjs d...

the diy re-build is more fun when you have to make most of the bits yourself like sills bulkheads, i consider myself lucky as one of the first places i worked was a garage that specialized in old classic cars that at the time (early 80's) had little to no body panels available ( armstrong siddeley w...

because i have no idea what a blog is or how to post pics! when it is up and running i will ask some kind person to post some photos for me as i have been taking pics all the way through and looking at the photos of when it had no floor or sills and looking at it now sitting on its rear end gives me...

thanks for the info the series 2 2+2 is not as bad as as the series 1 as the screen has more rake and doesn't wrap round as much as the steep screen and i have fitted a few windscreens (try doing a vauxhall pa cresta ! )
