The 'E' Type Forum

Go here to the Auto section, all info is here and quite comprehensive. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3yrkl1ecrxdr1lk/Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-litre-Series-1-supplementary-information.pdf?dl=1 Rear band is adjusted outside the box, but front band is adjusted with sump removed. The other 6 litres is in the Torqu...

I would go all Stainless with Mild steel resonators, that's what I have at present and there is a nice depth to the note with no '' ting ting ''.
Finding a system with straight through 1.75 centres is a must, mine are made by Falcon, good quality but I'm not sure they are still in business.

There are a few different manufacturers of 1.75'' systems, my car was fitted with stainless restrictive baffle type centre boxes as rfs1957 has mentioned, way to quiet and certainly no roar, but boring these made no difference as they were multi restrictively blanked. So I then bought straight throu...

Steve, from a Spot welding manual, I was just showing the opposites to a system in a car.

There has been a thread recently about this and the possibility of corrosion due to the earthing, I haven't had a problem though, I'm sure bad storage, not being driven etc would contribute. On an opposite tack I have some heavy duty spot welders, which are water cooled, the factory recommend not us...

Take the otter apart and clean the contacts, re-test and it should be ok, I wouldn't just buy another until I knew why it wasn't working.

Try this thread, viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21767 , it also mentions the problems most cars have with varying tickover due to engine twist/movement.

They are captive in the bulkhead yes.

You need to measure positive to earth, not positive to trigger.

Can happen in hot weather and possible air locks, not sure if it's fuel tank level dependent, couple of times with my car it ran so long you'd think there was a leak somewhere, once started all was fine.

So, after a call to SU, they confirmed the above part number and tolerance is correct for the HD8. The parts arrived and were fitted yesterday. Pressed in and lathe set to 10thou protrusion, air screws adjusted slightly and she's very happy. If you have a gap at the front part of the bridge to pisto...

Anyone know the tolerance for the nylon stopper insert on the piston underside, ( damper cushion for piston drop to throat bridge ) , the SU part number for the smaller carbs is AUD 2435 and the air gap is 8 - 12 thou, but I think this is only for HS4/6 carbs, the HD8 having a separate air bypass wh...

The manual would be best to check first, It's quite a comprehensive section, but look at Service instructions. Having bought my S1 with one in, I did have much work to do, from memory the first thing I did was adjust the mechanism so ''Park'' and ''L'' actually matched the detents, then following th...

Yes I realised these are not E parts, they were fine regarding bolt holes, in fact they were exactly right and there were no other problems but for the main seating diameter.

I was in this position last month, with the suspension all over the garage floor I had to adapt the joint, I machined it down to a smaller diameter and fitted a ring that took up the slack, not something one should have to do.

Uncanny, they're almost identical, perhaps they're a plug through rest for the mechanism, I know on my car the winder mech rests on the door bottom when fully opened.

They look like the actual buttons that run in the lifting channel of the winder mechanism, bearings if you like.

You have original calipers?

4 pot, different story.

Along with the bullet connector which is also modern, process of elimination probably points to headlamp area, possibly a wire to a side lamp, why this would affect the beam I'm not sure. You need to get digging really, earths first then live, although new work follows no rules regarding colour, so ...

We have, Simon and myself have mentioned holes, rear lights number plate etc, the large donut seal below the tank.
Is your rear window seal good?

Neighbours doorcam footage?, there's certainly a lot of this on youtube, is there a Faceplant or instagram forum for stolen cars?
