The 'E' Type Forum

The choke light has stopped working on my S1 3.8 FHC. Any typical things to check before I start routing around behind the dash!

Probably breaking forum rules - so feel free to PM me. Anyone have any experience of Lanes Jaguar?

Plenty of opportunity to roar around the lanes trying to find the quickest route in!! Good event, with great cars and racing. However is a little spread out. Dont expert the nostalgic feel of Goodwood.

Mine - 860526, built 8th May 1962, despatched to Henlys 26th May, registered 1st Jan 1963.

I am certainly missing the shroud - may explain wet feet when driving to and from the Revival!

I assume fitting is straightforward - drill three holes and pop rivet on?

I guess the pipe in the door may also be missing - a little poke around should answer that before taking the door card off.

Anyone got any pictures - I believe these are missing off my car.

Thanks for the feedback. I think CMC it is.

Hi, Anyone have any recommendations on a specialst I can take my S1 FHC to for servicing and various mechanical work. I live between Banbury and Stratford and have previously used a jaguar man in Coventry. Dont really want to drive miles (CMC, E Type Centre, Lanes etc...). However after several epis...

Based on a conversation at JD Classics on Saturday it would seem the earliest cars suspension components where hot dipped in an oil bath as at the time Jaguar did not have access to plating/didnt want to pay.

Just passing it on.

Update on this, I changed the oil to Halfords Classic and the smokeness has disappeared. Strange but true!!

Thanks

Ok, I will bash on for a bit. Thanks for the advice.

That was my overnight thought - I used Morris' Gold Film 30. Therefore not a multi grade, recommended for classics, although maybe not ideal for performance classics.

I think I will change it for a multi grade and see whether that sorts.

Starting with the pipe makes sense.

Thanks

I have just changed the oil and filter on my S1 3.8 FHC. All very straightforward, however a couple of hangover items: 1. I hadnt noticed before the amount of rubbish coming out of the tail pipes after idling and then blipping the throttle. It quickly clears, but is more grey brown than white and no...

The reservoirs certainly look very old, so could be the originals. The floats are still up though, so doesnt seem to be that.

Thanks

Hi Done 500 miles over 3 days going to and from Goodwwod. Always great fun. However after sitting in a queue Friday morning, let the hand brake off and the light came on. It should be the other way round. Car is a 62/3 FHC. Everything still seems to work as it should, doesnt seem to of been any flui...

Hi

I would appreciate a shot of the cut away. I have loosened the seal around the hole, but didnt think it would be enough!!!

Thanks

Hi I recently replaces the rubber body seal on my S1 FHC, with a seal from one of the main suppliers. I have subsequently noticed that water is sitting in the seal and also getting into the spare wheel well and on the cavities inside below the tailgate. Has anyone any picture of a correctly fitted s...

I think there was a cut off date to use the club codes by.

I have a S1 FHC with original wheel and cannot get the horn boss off.

Is there a specific technique? Or likely to be glued on?

Thanks
