The 'E' Type Forum

I got exactly the same problem yesterday also
when I dismantled the 3AW relay, the resistance was gone, so no option than change
and decided to order the "original" (?) part BMK1092J from B..TT

I like your method, David
what did you do to make sure the seal was positioned (glued I guess) in the right place ?

thanks Steve and Andrew; will investigate those cables and connections more in depth
there's no "inertia switch" or the like in theE-type ? (on my Stag I had an inertia switch that would shut down everything in case of shock but was defective)

Hello I recently experienced an unusual sudden blackout when going over a speed bump by blackout I mean that the engine immediatley stalled -not pleasant with an auto box- and when trying to start again the starter woud not go after shaking the cables going from the battery to the starter I was able...

right or wrong, I had to add washers between the lock and the door to make it shut AND approximately aligned
seems the boot seal is either too big or badly placed (by myself)

a few pics would help !!

same experience than you guys, I think the SNG kit is poor regarding the foam parts (but very good value for a overhauled genuine radiator)

I glued thm though using Pattex neoprene glue ; so far so good but it was only a month ago...

my 2 cents:
what is your friend FIRST criteria:
. if it's practicality, everyday use: recommend 4.2
. if it's investment potential : recommend 3.8 (although 3.8 have already met ceiling high prices)

Restoration of the wheel part 2 don't forget to mask the aluminium parts close to the wood and prepare alcohol for cleaning of the resin in excess http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x326/rolando381/ATypeE/D3D49A5D-A2AA-4232-B138-137553541516_zpsgg5eexf8.jpg there cannot be exactly the exact amount ...

I ordered the same epoxy resin used by Chris
not so easy to find in France, though

Hello Today I decided to tackle the restoration of my 16" S2 steering wheel, original but looking a bit sorry: http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x326/rolando381/ATypeE/E28DE919-B1AE-4046-ADBA-6F56BA7ED6F9_zpsd8dbrfjp.jpg front surface badly used: http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x326/rolando381...

allow me not to share the same opinion with my above colleagues on this supposedly easy job...yes, it is , only if nothing breaks but in my case 50% of the studs between manifold ans exhaust broke, and same with the fasteners between manifolds and engine and then you're in deep guacamole... and this...

I think you're totally right I scanned the 1300+ pics of 1968 series 1 E-types on xkedata and there are only 2 with the front indicators below the bumper as on series 2 1E78642BW http://www.xkedata.com/gallery/zoom/?id=242036 1E35251 http://www.xkedata.com/gallery/zoom/?id=326973 I guess it comes fr...

Hello while looking at (and for) series 1.5 on the web, I cannot figure out why there are differences on the position of indicators (above/below bumper) for 1968 models (having all series 1 tail lights) here are 2 1968 2+2s: http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x326/rolando381/ATypeE/E112%20up_zpsc5q...

good to know, I was convinced that some Mk10 wrecks were bought just for their triple SU by E-typers

ah that explains my confusion
the car is now at the mechanic's for exhaust change; did'nt fell like tackling it myself as heating will probably be needed and I'm not keen of this technique...

Your starter relay should be on the bulkhead with 5 wires as already mentioned, assuming you have a ballast resistor fitted, if you don't, it might be on the inside of the A post I think. is this the one ? http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x326/rolando381/ATypeE/BDB03908-745B-42E4-9550-B6B9FBE7DA...

thanks guys
I didn't pay too much attention to the battery cable while it was out...
will look again tomorrow; at least it is now clean on the earthing to body side

the only relay I found close to the wiper motor seems to be operating the washer bottle
