Working now Bob thanks to you and Craig

Hi Bob, same again for me, but thanks, found Craig’s very good posts and there it is in all its glory in part XVI, ( Craig photos of some unusual bits have helped me a lot), sounds so easy in the bulletin to attach but I know it will be a real pain, especially getting the horse shoe clip on. Cheers ...

Hi Bob, for some reason can’t see the photos , just my luck lol

Just resurrecting this thread, I have the later heater control with horse shoe pin but can’t understand the point of the 2 nuts at the end of the outer cable near the inner cable nipple do they actually clamp onto anything?

Perhaps either side of the firewall behind the dash? Thanks

Ignition relay is on the RH firewall next to the windscreen motor on my RHD car

One near the battery is the horn relay, I don’t have the relay near the transmission tunnel but I think if you have aircon on your car it is for that.

There was the metal fuel filter housing that came later for the series 3 did they send the wrong one in error?

Hi the emissions set up depends on the model and year for where the connections go to the thermacs. On my 1973 car the RH unit goes to RH servo further along the air trumpet and the other to a T off the thermionic valve and the LH unit goes to the rear induction manifold and the LH servo valve In th...

Thanks Marek, so it is literally the spring that holds it. I have the induction manifolds and mud shields off currently so will see how easy it is to fit in situ.

Nige.

What attaches the bracket or is it the spring that holds the bracket?

Hi Marek Yes I have the dash tops off the purple and white wire is coming from the loom which looks like it is from the switches with most terminating to join the loom down the RHS of the car (aerial sense, indicators etc) but cant see a purple and white wire in the bundle from the courtesy light. I...

I have a purple and white wire coming out behind the steering wheel/ speedo/rev counter area of the dash loom, I presume this must connect to the driver's side courtesy light but where would the routing of this be as I can't see a corresponding wire to connect to? It has a standard bullet connector....

Thanks Nigel appreciate that

Ok so enjoying time with the Jag during lock down doing some trim work putting right the previous owners work. On the rh side does the under dash hardura bend over the front lip to go under where the steering column Bracket lower bolts fit and do they also glue onto the steering shaft cover? Photos ...

Found the holes on both sides for anyone else looking with the rear lights out of the car in the inner void it is on the top face closest to bumper almost as far in as you can reach. Then use a piece of wire to feed through and drag the number plate wires and reverse lamp wire.

Thanks Ole

I already have the rear lh tail light out but unlike the rh side can not find a route into the void the number plate lamp and reverse lamp wiring goes into so wondered if they initially ran under the little ledge in the boot/trunk beside the petrol tank.
Nigel

Dear All, Correcting some mistakes made to the wiring of my S3 and wanted to know how to run the number plate and reverse light wiring. I presume they both run from the LH side loom but can not feel a gap to run them into the void behind the trunk from the rear light, do they run under the lip of th...

Welcome

Kept mine lavender blue admittedly with dark blue interior. Love the 70s colours on the S3 roadster

Nigel

Thanks chaps. What about the boot area I guess just the floor and not the contoured upturns which lead on the rear wings ?

Regards
Nigel
