The 'E' Type Forum

My buying experience When i was buying in 99/2000 I looked at 12 cars all over the country all 4.2 s1 dhc which i was interested in owning after many years admiring them. Get to know the spec and original build details of the model you are interested in. Of the 12 cars i saw very few where at a deal...

I am going to change both the clutch and brake master cylinders as clutch cylinder is leaking and brakes pedal always sticks or greater resistance on pressing after storage then the pedal gives and then back to normal, also time for a fluid replacement. Not bought the parts yet but replacement strai...

I use a different e.mail address on this forum and other social media platforms, than the one they have used, which is only used for purchases and subscriptions.
So e.mail not a result of being on this forum.

But thanks for the reminder Avatar and screenshot updated

Anybody else received one of these e.mails from right2redress to claim for mis sold pcp? I am used to seeing these pop up as random clickbait. But this is targeted and contains my reg number against my e.mail address. There are only a few organisations who could have supplied my e.mail and reg numbe...

My car was manufactured 3rd May 1967 and is one of the very last 60 Series 1 built. The engine number is 7E 13254-9.

Just seen this post, my car 1E1817 has Engine number 7E 13154-9 exactly 100 before yours and built only 2 days before on 1st May 67.

If parts not available or battling with fit issues may be worth considering an upgraded caliper. I upgraded my original S1 brakes when they started sticking to Zeus cast 4 pot, for an authentic look through the spokes and better performance.

As I cannot find bluecol concentrate anymore at local motor factors, I looked on the web. I found at a good price for 5l of bluecol at 16.99 at a web store called My Motorworld. Much to my suprise at checkout I did not ask for a Mike Brewer air freshener or a discount but happy they applied one. Jus...

Sorry did not see your messages I was also on the stilton run in the red S1. Hope to get to the Greetham gathering this year as never been before.

Hi Welcome, I am not far away in Leicestershire Was the photo taken at Classic wheels in Rutland in 2022. I was there with my S1. May see you at some local shows. Ashby classic and vintage vehicle meets on Facebook is a good way of finding local events and classic meets. https://i.postimg.cc/cJdZ77H...

My 67 OTS was completely restored 20+ years ago by the previous owner, but the new chrome insert trim in the lower windscreen seal to the body, was never fitted. But supplied loose, i have tried to get a few classic car garages to fit this part but all have tried/declined saying it does not fit. So ...

If you can repair it yourself then fine. But if not I recommend Steve Hunt's services, he knows these motors inside out and made a good job rebuilding my S1 with wiper parking switch which burnt out, came back better than new. For contact details he advertises lucas wiper motors on ebay with his nam...

Mine rusted and I replaced it with a curved aluminium one from Cambridge Motorsport. Very happy with it.

Marek, No oil warning light on mine. I think only on some early 3.8s and some early S3s.

The Ignition light also doubles as the oil pressure warning light on Series 1 cars, unless you have modified it.

I used this company

Very knowledgeable on the current options

JLR selling off cars and pedal cars from the "Warwickshire collection" Looks like the cars they purchased from Dr James Hull. Some Jaguars in there. All offered at no reserve.

Thanks all for your comments.
I checked the screws and nuts for tightness and found the one at the top of the vertical section very loose. Nipped both sides up a little, now the bonnet stays up.
Will keep an eye on it, and may replace the springs at a later date.

Hi, Looking for a bit of advice. My bonnet when opened would stay in position. For obvious reasons it started when I replaced the electric fan from a kenlowe mounted on a steel frame in the nose of the bonnet to a revotec mounted behind the radiator. The bonnet is close to staying open or if it does...
