The 'E' Type Forum

Hi, can anybody please give me some advice?!? I came to move my car when I noticed it was almost touching the ground. Immediately I realised torsion bar had snapped clean in half : / I've been quoted ?324+vat is this reasonable? Also are they easy to change etc?

Cheers Ian

I have sourced one off eBay, I have used the guy in the past and has always sold me decent parts.

I was also wondering, I have a rotor arm that I bought for my V12 SERIES 3 XJ. However, this is blue but looks identical to the one I've taken off. Would this do do you think??

I posted on here a few month back about my car running fine when cold but back fires and cuts out after about 15 mins. A forum member said there's a good chance it's shit blocking the filter in the fuel tank, however this isn't the case. I have recently changed the coil and the amplifier but e car i...

Oh and not forgetting the sound. The only downside is that it's automatic, not as fun as a manual.

I Like the S1/1.5/2 but I don't think you can beat the ride of the V12. I love the flared arches and the wider wheels. I know the S3's arent as sought after than the others but for me it's the one to have....Great engine, looks the part, great ride and still able to keep up with modern day traffic : )

Hi, I have stripped the carbs down today and rebuilt them but this hasn't stopped the problem. It only does it when the car isn't on choke? Do you think it's still Sh1t in the tank?

I will visit aus one day but I won't be showing anyone how to lead load : ) beach and beer. How did you manage to get a mixture of the 2? Or have you done it yourself? I've had a lot of jags over the years including S2 Coupe, 2 XJ12's sovs one which was emaculate in Westminster blue, X300 4.00 Sov, ...

Hi, i just thought id introduce myself. I am Ian and i have owned and driven jaguars for may many years, new and old. I currently own a low mileage XJS celebration convertible which i bough 5 years ago with 21000 on the clock...It now has 36000 on the clock and still in pristine condition. As this i...

This does make sense as it only happened when i put fuel in the car, although it wasn't left empty over winter there was fuel inside the tank but it wasn't full. Would this cause the car to cut out? just what i needed....why is nothing straight forward with E-Types : /

It has stromberg Carbs and the diaframs have been replaced,

Hi, i am having intermittent trouble with my E. I picked it up from the garage last week after I treat him to a new shiny respray : ) the car has been stood in the garage since the 2nd week in Jan. I started the car as i usually would with choke out and it started first, not to my surprise as it alw...
