Re: A small issue…
That was the first thing that sprang to mind, checked it seemed ok but will top it up when I find that little bottle which I misplaced. Also will get the spark plugs out in case they need a clean as I have a slight misfire on idle fro one of the exhausts. Thanks for your reply.

A small issue…
After a few months of storage with the occasional engine start, I had the opportunity to take her out for a short 3 mile drive and a re-fuel. On a couple of occasions when attempting to accelerate I got a hesitation and back fire, at the beginning I thought it may have been old fuel but it happened ...

First thing I would do in such a case is check all the spark plugs to determine whether there is a misfiring by seeing wetness on any of the cylinders.

Re: New member from York looking for servicing and restoration contacts
Welcome to the best place for all things e type. As a Londoner can't help you on finding contacts in and around York, I am sure some folks more local to you will chime in with suggestions. I see the car was converted to LHD and to a five speed box which I had done on mine. I noticed they were only 3...

Re: Oil pressure, one more round
I always wanted to understand the ins and outs of OP senders and gauges. The post linked on understanding senders whilst detailed and comprehensive left me quite confused especially since I don't know whether during restoration the original or a replacement were used.....

Re: Series 1 bonnet fitting
Yes I guess this is impractical if the engine and gearbox are out of the car, you can possibly fit it as you are now and providing enough leeway in adjustment for the final fit once the engine and gearbox are installed.
