The 'E' Type Forum

Thank you! Probably ZF 4HP-22 is the best option as you don't have to worry about ECU. Will contact CMC

I was wondering if anyone tried to replace standard BW8 3 speed automatic transmission with 4 speed automatic?

I need to replace my transmission anyway (there was sand inside the gearbox that destroyed oil pump and other parts).

Any help appreciated.

Lol.. my bid was 62700

Hi,

Would do you think is reasonable? I was told that the car is accident free.

Thanks for the input! There is 1.5 OTS on ebay now. No reserve and 8 days left.
What would you consider a resonable price for it:

Hi,

Although I recently bought S2 2+2, my ultimate dream is to have S1. With S1 prices skyrocketing I was thinking to hunt for S2 OTS or DHC and do convert to S1 by changing headlamps and rear light, bumpers etc.
How do you think it would affect future value of the car?

I need to replace a steering rack. Mine was PAS rack, but I am converting to non-PAS.
SNG has a steering rack in upgrades section:

Is it good alternative or should I look for a second hand unit and refurbish?

You are right. I found used ones in good condition for ?70.
Brazing would probably cost more. What was I thinking.

Thanks guys!

Can this be repaired/welded or should I look for a new one?

All alternators in Series 2 had external regulators?

Close to my hometown I have found a small company who is specialized on hydraulic servo pumps. My pump was overhault and now runs absolutely perfect. The costs are 200 EURO. If somebody needs help, please let me know via PN. Alfred My pump was gone when I bought the car, so unless I find a replacem...

With a 2+2 you have the option of fitting a 4 speed manual Overdrive box from either an XJ6 or, preferably, an S type. The latter unit has the same top cover as the E-type 'box so it fits in more easily. This is a lot cheaper than any of the 5 sp options and keeps everything Jaguar. Ian Ian did you...

I am in the middle of striping the car as this will be complete restoration and still cannot decide whether to keep the car original with PS, AC, auto gearbox and stromberg carburetor and enjoy it as is or do the following: -5 speed manual -Triple SU carbs -get rid of AC -get rid of PS Does original...

You have seen it? There were actually 2 episodes in Poland. One with Syrena - polish car from communicm time, and also Lamborghini.
No it wasn't me, but Wheeeler Dealers is very popular in Poland.

Tell me, was your pump missing or it's just broken?

it looks pretty much similar to mine (early 1970) However I think there should be a black hot water heater fitted to the inlet manifold, introduced in oct 1968 According to the Originality guide the cross-over pipe was introduced in October 1969 in USA and Canada cars, so mine doesn't have it yet a...

Hi Iradek The Facet fuel pump under the bonnet is definitely not original, is it the only pump or is it in series with the SU pump which should be in the boot behind the RHS panel. Mine is a 69 US spec OTS but which has been converted to three SUs Ian Yes, the fuel pump in the boot is missing, I am...

Hi Iradek....I also have a 69S2 2+2 UK spec...when u say that u want this as an original car does this mean that u will keep it as US spec with the twin strombergs etc or convert to european spec.....Steve I'm gonna keep twin strombergs. I want a cruiser for lazy Sundays, not a sports car. That's w...

Rolando did you find PS pump? I am in the same situation. I just bougt 1969 Series 2 and PS pump is missing. I can't seem to find a replacement.

Thanks Heuer, I was not familiar with this site. I am also reading JCNA Series 2 E-Type Judges? Guide which is very helpful. The amount of changes Jaguar made only in 1969 is astonishing. For example I just found out that "on cars with second type air conditioning front fan was deleted and instead t...

Before I strip the car completely I want to establish what was changed by PO. I want this to be an original car, so your help will be appreciated. There were so many changes that I am lost. The car is US specs, Sept 1969 with Power steering and Air conditioning. Picture 1: http://i356.photobucket.co...
