The 'E' Type Forum

Sorry for late reply, I have found the problem. It was the servo. When I took it down it had 3 dl of oil behind the cylinder. When I then asked the owner about filling up the reservoir he said that it was only small amounts a few times which he didn’t mention the first time and this had made the fau...

I will check, could possibly be a reason. Strange only why it suddenly would start to be an issue without any sudden changes.

Thanks for the suggestions, It was a total loss of all the brakes and not just the servo assistance. I will change the servo unit as well, but I’m wondering if no braking in combination with constant vacuum for a longer period could reverse all the caliper pistons? This of course due to some kind of...

No nothing out of the normal when I checked the brakes 30 seconds after the failure

Hello, I have a very strange behaviour on a 1966 2+2. The owner of the car told me that the car at a few occations he had lost brake preassure and he had to pump the pedal a few times. I was picking up his car and there was nothing wrong with the brakes. I changed the master cylinder the flexible ho...

Hello all experts, I wonder if someone has a guess and could point me in the right direction. I’m helping a friend with his completely restored s1 1967 car. When you brake it stops perfectly but with a delay when the system return the fluid and completely release the brakes. My main question is if I...

Yes that's correct. The lid is pressed on and not supposed to open at all but this one did. When the airfilter is of it’s not easy to hear airleakage from the vaccum side.

Hello everybody and hope you all are doing fine despite the situation at the mement Maybe this is obvious but I write anyway. I had an S2 for service 3 carb car with rough idling and also a quite uneven run when driving. After quite som fine tuning of the carbs and ignition it ran quite well slighty...

Thank you very much I will try and see what might help the situation

Hello everybody! I have just restored the master and servo cylinder on my 1966 4.2 fhc. The problem now seems to be that the fluid have some return issues. With engine off at first there are perfect pedal preassure but slowly when pumping the pedat it builds up brake preassure. If I then start the e...

Unfortunately the type p are not the same as the original

Hello everybody! During my restoration I have found that it´impossible to find the original type of tall 1/4 & 5/16 Nyloc nuts that Jaguar used on quite a few places. Maybe someone know if there is a readily availiable source but otherwise I had a thought that if there was a general interest it wold...

Thanks for the reply and I will keep that in mind. Unfortunately I’m on my way to Coventry and Jaguar now. Will try to be a bit earlier next time.

Hello everybody!

I’m on a quick trip to Isle of Wight this Sunday evening and was just wondering if there is some one on this Forum that also is on Wight and would like to grab a Pint this Evening?

Best Regards Johan

I have tried all the common suppliers and none has so far been able to come close to the original that is somewere between gold and brown in color.

Ungortunately not they have the other materials but not carpet and moquette.

Hello everybody!

Does anyone know any source that can supply the correct carpet and moquette for a 1965 Light Tan interior? It seems impossible to find.

Regards Johan

You are correct Steve regarding the name of the car thats at least what was possible to register in uk in the old days. But this is not intended for uk so I thought a question wouldn’t harm

Hello everybody!

Probably a strange question but anyway. Does anyone have registration papers (V5C) for sale stating a Jaguar Sport registered Before 1966?

Regards Johan

Could it be some kind of additive in the fuel that has been mixed in totally wrong proportion? Or oil/water from the crankcase breather pipe?
