Looks great around here... Happy Christmas

Thanks so much Andrew, you are an E Type super-hero

Hi John,
where did you see the cylinders for 30 quid? I tried to find them on SNG and they seem to start at 134 and go up to over 350

wow thanks everyone, Allrand might have it. I will order a rebuild kit for both master and slave and try to rebuild them both. This is the first car ive ever done any real mechanical work on ever and it really is making me stretch myself. Im not complaining, its a great experience but it also is rea...

I am having problems with my clutch system. I had a new clutch recently put in but over the last few weeks first, second and reverse gears have been problematic in the time it takes the car to get warm. I have replaced the clutch reservoir and the rubber hoses.. Ive also lengthened the slave rod to ...

Thanks for that Mike,
it was a bit of a head scratcher :)

Ive asked this question but got no answers. Ive just replaced all my door seals and am about to put my doors back on.. I bought a new courtesy light switch but I have no idea how it is connected and where. I have the switch, the location hole and I guess that loose purple wire is involved. Anybody, ...

Andrew,
you an absolute gentleman, I really appreciate the effort involved in making this post, it goes well beyond the call of duty. I am sure several people will get so much help and instruction from it too.

thanks again

Hi, I stripped my doors ages ago to have them worked on. Now they're back and Ive completely forgotten the sequence of how I disassembled them. Can anybody point me to a how guide? Ive unsuccessfully searched. My big fear is how to get the frame and the glass back in. I have the doors off the car at...

Wow James, thats a great job . Sorry I only found your reply tonight. Looking back on the day you posted it, I now realise, I was suffering with covid that week.

Thanks Paul, thats exactly what I need to hear.
Appreciated thanks again

Thanks Geoff, I have stripped them down to just a shell at the moment as I thought that would be easier to do when the doors were bolted in place

Hi, I know it's a silly question. I need to remove my doors but am wondering which bolts is easier to remove, the bolts that attach the hinge to the shell or the bolts (and screws) on the inside of the door? As is do I remove the door with thew hinge attached to the door or can I take the door off a...

Thanks everyone, I am going to take all your suggestions on board and see how I go. Total novice here so sorry if my questions are newbie grade
thanks

My slow idle screw is stuck. Previous mechanic has obviously unsuccessfully had a go at it. Any ideas? I tried spraying wd40 but it still hasn't budged.

Thanks Christopher, that would make perfect sense as the car is only started and not driven during this winter. How can I approach a fix to this?

I dont see the seal on the SNG site just the Dipstick.... for 93 quid ????
I dont know about the PCV system Marek

phewwww..... thanks a million

As the title says I have fumes coming from the dipstick hole. Is there a seal missing or what could be the problem? thanks

Had to find it myself. Just in case someone else finds themselves in the same situation, the answer is, there is an earth that is attached to the mounting for the washers. Wiring diagrams only tell you so much, trying to locate some of them for me was the toughest part.
