but it wasn't fitted to RHD cars, which just got a blanking plug to fill the new mounting hole.

The early RHD (1971) cars did not even get the mounting hole, let alone the blanking plug.

If in doubt, read the instructions

Yes - number 11.

My engine is earlier that yours and still has the original water pump - never modified, still working fine. Is more than adequate to handle Australia hot summers as long as the rest of the cooling system is up to scratch.

This may help viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20923&hilit=Tyre

Thanks - that is looking at 6.5" rims not the standard 6" and different offsets. Interesting point about what fits wire wheels vs disc wheels.

Keen to know if anyone has fitted 225s or wider on 6" rims.

What are the widest tyres that can be fitted to a Series 3 with standard 6" wire wheels and standard rear suspension setup/alignmet? My guess would be 215 but also maybe 225 for some tyre brands. What have you been able to fit with no rubbing issues - what profile also to keep rolling dia about the ...

Just make a mould of your current bumpers with expanding foam then make a bumper from the mould with fibreglass or even expanding foam.

Then mark up your DRLs.

You don't say which engine it is, 6 or 12 cylinder?

It is in the Series 3 section - so a V12.

I have had my V12 E-Typefor 42 years, in Europe and Australia, and never had a condensation issue, I would say that there is a problem causing this. Further investigation is needed.

As easy as that?

Nothing is ever as easy as that

Good luck with it

Mine after painting in 1991

Landrover Series 3 Pastel Green/Light Green is so close to the Jag Willow Green I doubt if the two vehicles were not parked together you would not pick the difference. Check the colour difference which will be very small, if any and if you go back to the LR colour here are the codes http://www.landr...

If you have doubts then dont buy one - most people buy with their hearts not their brains which is wrong but how it is. If you do not buy one something else will come along to scratch that itch and solve the heartache.

Here in Australia, I have never seen painted headlight trims on any Etype.

Read the original post....it clearly states the poster has a S2..Steve Yes but as highlighted in a three posts back # 9 - the OP says he has a Series 2 but also says the top pic (the turquoise car) is his which is a a series 3, So we are confused to what he actually has, or is referring too. Hence ...

If the OP does have a series 3 then as a Series 3 owner as well - I can assure him that the seats have to be folded forward first (there is a sign on the hood frame) and where the hood is held to the sides of the body via velcro and the clips (as shown in the first pic) it has to be unclipped or the...

The Turquoise car looks like it may be a series 3 - it might help the poster if he posts just pics of his own car not a mix of different cars.

Ausie E Type - not to be confused with the real AussieEtype

I cannot help with your question but welcome to the forum

Thanks for the information and link.

Barbie.

My place, Saturday.

Nope, I've never found a good one.

Yeah - I guessed so which is a shame - lots of Aussies on here so all is not lost. In addition to Etype info I am now looking for aussie XJ12 info which is a bit hard to find.

Cheers

Have a look here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/aust ... smania-94/

Thanks for that - is a US site with regional sections and not used much - but certainly an option.

I have been a member of this forum for many many years and obtained a lot of great information. I also use Jag Lovers (in the USA?) which is also a source. I have not been able to find any dedicated Australian forums, covering not only the Etype but Jaguars overall. Most other brands like Land Rover...
