Thank you everyone for your replys help and advice. First thing im going to check is the vent pipes as im sure they are pinched up on the ends for some reason!!?? See how we go from there. Im sure we will be able to sort it now with all the ideas here to go through and check. Thanks again everyone. ...

Ill also make a new post as and when we get one ordered and see how it goes. Thank you again for your suppo...

Thank you very much for the info and help. I really appriciate it. So im ok to go and order a 22D6 replacement then, brilliant. Just to confirm this is what i intend to buy https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-6-cylinder-High-Energy-Electronic-distributor-45D6-22D-25D6-DLB198-Coil/132260991787?epid=20386...

Dizzy out lads. But cant fint a part number to match up?
Or am i looking in the wrong place?
Any advice welcomed. Thanks.

Sorry ive not seen that. Is it for sale in the classified section? Thanks. J

Thank you for your help again.
I really appriciate it.
Ill have to take the dizzy out then just to make 100% sure i get the right one before i buy it off ebay.
It comes with new lucas coil and a red rotor arm so fingers crossed it wil improve this trubblesome misfire we have.

Sorry guys back to the electronic dizzy again. Im a little confused which one i need to buy as ithink there are a few different types when i looked on ebay. This is a very rubbish picture of mine still fitted to the car. Any ideas what model it maybe? Or where the part number is exactally located? T...

Great stuff thanks again lads for the help on the matter. All the known faults you lads have had with your own cars we can change and check on ours the better, im sure will will come across the problem sooner ot later. As soon as we find somthing ill update the post. J

Thank you again for the reply. I may give him a call see how long the waiting list is as we really wanted to get the car out this summer but i have a bit of a job list to get done on it first, The slight misfire is the one thats confusing me a little at the moment weather it could be a ignition or c...

Thanks for the reply on that but im thinking my actual internals on the dizzy may be worn thats why i thaught a complete new dizzy plus the electric ignition may kill two birds with one stone.

Wow just goes to show one little thing like that can cause pain in the neck problems!

Thank you for that information. Ill have a read at that in a min.
Following up your misfire you had on yours a while ago, did you ever get that sorted?
If you remember it was back in 2015 when i was gunna use mine for my wedding but i had a slight vibration/misfire!

They look fantastic! Great job that man!
What would this cost me of i were to send my tripple SU's and let you rebuild them?
They are on my car and they are running at the moment but i think theyre getting to the point of needing a refurb now i recon.
Thank you. J

Thank you for the reply.
Could i ask how much was the other kit you baught please? I just really wanted to try it just to rule out the dizzy to try and solve our misfire problem.
She also struggles to start aswell somtimes, maybe down to spark issues again?

Hi everyone. Just wondered if anyone has used one of these kits off ebay and if theyre any good, they seem quite cheep at just shy of £100? Heres the link for them - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-E-type-4-2-6cyl-electronic-distributor-with-coil/110723906058?epid=2038615859&hash=item19c7a8ba0a:g:...
