The 'E' Type Forum

Hello everyone. I was reading through this thread, trying to educate myself on what I believe being a similar issue. My '67 OTS runs well, good compression, oil pressure, etc. The only annoyance is that when the engine is hot, a tappet sound becomes quite detectable from the engine area. I am 99% su...

Many people complain about lateral and vertical play in the E-Type's steering column but it is designed to be there, certainly when the car is cold. Hi everyone. I am experiencing some noticeable vertical play with my steering wheel (1967 S1 OTS). Beased on the above, I wonder if I should be doing ...

Two questions I would like an expert opinion on: 1. I don’t have a car lift, only jack stands. Crazy to even attempt the project? 2. Is there any way I...

Fellow Jaguar enthusiasts -- I've been lurking on this forum for a while, trying to educate myself so I can spend my money wisely. I have a small sum I can (finally) spend on the car I've always wanted, but the decision path is way harder than I imagined. I could use some expert guidance on this XKE...

Hello everyone. My name is Dan and I am new to this forum. I have been actively looking to buy my first XKE for the last 3 months and I realized that proper due diligence won't be complete without exposure to discussions involving experts, even just as an active listener. I hope I can find the guida...
