The 'E' Type Forum

That might be the go. Thanks

Close…any closer?

Hi everyone, I'm from Oz and travelling to UK in August - I'll be in Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow, primarily golfing but that's another story. I need a couple of E parts and was wondering if anyone knows of a supplier up north that I could call into and pick up from rather than mail order. Speci...

More info on your car here...unfortunatly gearbox number isn't easy to see....Steve https://www.xkedata.com/cars/detail/?car=1S2345 Interesting site, thanks.

It looked pretty clear to me but the last digit may not be fully stamped. I’ve attached a picture of the plate...

Hi Henda, out of curiosity, what are your cylinder compression numbers? And when you changed from 5E to 6E plugs, did that make a difference on its own or did you make other changes at the same time? The reason I ask is my comps are about 100-110 across all 6 cylinders and the 6E's that were in the ...

As an update, I still had some misfiring issues with the 5E plugs so I bought some Brisk N17YC plugs on advice from some club guru's and these have made a remarkable difference - no misfiring whatsoever, very smooth and other members have reported some power increase. Also, I'm looking forward to th...

Similar problem to me and after a number of discussions, it came up that the compression while even, was low in all cylinders. Local e-type club expert suggested changing plugs from 6E to 5E and problem solved. Try that as a first and relatively cheap option before dismantling head.

Hi Hendra, what was the result after replacing the dizzie etc? All fixed?
