The 'E' Type Forum

Learning how to maintain these old cars is always a good idea...especially with the help available on this forum....however it needs to be something you would enjoy doing....and you need tools and facilities...a service manual your starting point...if your looking to take it somewhere then at least ...

Your red warning light is on becaus your reservoir is low...brakes sticking not unusual for it to be the reaction valve...fluid should be replaced very 2 years..so in my opinion a good break overhaul and new fluid as a start...if you dont know where to start then maybee find a suitable Jag specialis...

Nice job Richard

Have you searched http://www.xkedata.com/ for details on the car numbers...its a good place to start.

Plenty of info on JL re the Isuzu mod https://forums.jag-lovers.com/t/e-type- ... ade/387875

Hi Paul...Worth investigating the Isuzu clutch lip seal mod...search on Jag Lovers..Steve

I see a US flag in his profile....but we have plenty of members who show their nationality with a flag but not necessarily their location....and he does refer to E type rather than XKE...anyway good info for others...or if he wants to export

An engine change needs to be notified to DVLA and probaby end up on a Q plate and lose its historic status and a lot of value

There are no strict rules in this forum except in the sale section....you've done nothing wrong...however common sense approach in posts is ideal ....Steve

This sounds like a bit of a rant...Will watch your posts with interest.. Steve

Buy becaus you want one....who knows what the future will hold....if prices plummeting bothers you then classic cars isn't for you....its happened in the past....Steve

Just looked MWS for a S2 £271inc vat

Most of the usual suppliers resell MWS wheels...go direct to MWS... and you can get a discount if your a car club member...Steve

Hi Ash...instructions are in the small buff Operating, Maintenance & Service Handbook....the headlamps can be flashed when the lights are off or when in the dipped beam position...but will not flash in the main beam position....Steve https://www.brooklandsbooks.co.uk/product/jaguar-e-type-4-2-litre-...
