Thete are several different release bearings..ensure that you have the correct one....have a look at this photo and note the difference in the main body from pivot point....yes one is worn but you can see the difference....Steve https://i.postimg.cc/x1pGvZ27/Screenshot-20260309-081605-Gallery.jpg

It's a lot of work if you get it wrong....last couple I did were NOS bearings....they do come up on ebay but make sure they are the old ones and not NOS from a couple of years ago....I wouldnt touch the ones with roll pin or the self tap screw....I would go the same route as Angus...iv heard a coupl...

I doubt very much its just a rent increase....time will tell when the accounts are released....CMC had changed over the later years moveing away from Jag to any other make and also into servicing, ceramic polishing, etc and more car sales.....cost of restoration is very much exceeding the value now....

Is the pressure relief valve stuck open and returning oil to the sump?

Hi Yves.....my first thought is the gasket between block and filter houseing....there are many different type... if you fit the wrong one it can block the flow......pull the houseing and gasket off.....turn over the engine without the spark plugs in and see if oil pumps out of the houseing.....it ma...

Hi Paul...I cant do the calculations...however you could trial and error by useing spacers inboard till you get what you want.....or get a longer xj6 driveshaft( cheap on ebay) to play with..cut it and use a slip tube to join it...you then have an adjustable length driveshaft to play with.....Steve

Hi All...picked this up on JL.....a decoder from Jag part numbers.....I havent checked it....Steve https://forums.jag-lovers.com/t/jaguar- ... fyi/469096

Not sure I follow what the issue is ...phopo?...but what bellhouseing have you used?....a 4.2 one or a modified 3.8?....Steve

Hi Ash...I always just used this easy bleed....very simple just rubber hose with one way valve..actually jus a slit in the rubber....as you press the pedal fluid is pushed out the slit.......the key part is old school bleed....two people but not difficult on your own....attach hose to nipple....undo...

Welcom to the forum....anything E type that you want to know is already on here somewhere .....however fire away with questions....you will always get a reply.....Best to post in the Wanted section if your after something....Steve

Follow the link to the Georgia Jag site I put up in a post above...it explains camshaft variants and gaps....Steve

Pm sent....just to note the splined hubs are handed so you fit the correct spinners but I'm sure your aware of that.....online the whole unit is often referred to as a "hub" which is then handed for left or right.....Steve

Hi kev the carriers are the same left right as far as im aware.....later Jag models have a speed sensor I think so the fixing for it would be handed....I'm away from home for about 10 days I have a few hub carriers that are all cleaned up and crack free...if your in no rush I can get back to you on ...

Hub carriers are cast aluminium....iv had damaged ones...binned then and fitted good used ones....splined hubs arnt too expensive ..I would by new.....plenty of decent used hub carriers about.....I have a few....Steve
