Hi Phil Picking up on what Marek said it sounds like your fuel gauge is under reading the amount of fuel in the tank. You could try checking the earth on the voltage regulator which sits behind the drop down instrument panel LHS especially if your water temperature gauge is over/under reading then t...

Hi Joe

Thanks for the photo which is fantastic.

I have the two wires for the earth as shown in your photo and these are the only wires that should be showing.

The photo also helps with regard to the finishing of the vinyl

Really very much appreciated

Hi Steve Many thanks for responding and confirming that these wires should not be showing. I just found an earlier post showing the routing of the wires which looks like removing the rear lights and number plate and using a fish tape to pull them through the cavity. https://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtop...

Hi Geoff appreciate you responding Did try your suggestion of IMGUR but to be honest got completely lost so Ill try again here Hopefully they are clearer now so if anybody can help Looking at the photos there are the holes that have the wiring grommets which suggest that they should be there but it ...

Hope this works

I don't know where the photos went ill try again

Hi Guys Can anybody confirm whether the wiring that serves the rear end (ie) brake light/reversing/lights etc should be showing in the boot area (See photo) I thought that this all disappeared in the void-aperture/behind that area. Also has anybody got a photo of where the trim finishes in the same ...

Hi Guys Just wanted to report back and make a confession. I purchased the duraprene gasket from SC parts and it is indeed bulkier than the cork gaskets but not cheap - I purchased cork gaskets as backup which are cheap. (Just a note the cork gaskets being supplied these days are dual BW8/BW12 so hav...

Hi Guys Thank very much for responding Kashma77 - I don't think it is the kick down switch is leaking. I have felt all around and above the sump pan and can see no signs of any fluid running down, however in light of what Mark said I will investigate that again. The box was recently rebuilt so I wou...

Hi Guys This old chestnut again I'm afraid BW12 Auto Gearbox leaking fluid Have suffered all of the above exactly same as the originator of the thread Dejerome60 - newly rebuilt box 2 new genuine Jaguar cork gaskets etc - new second Hand oil sump - glued the gasket to the sump open a flat surface be...

Hi Chaps I apologise in advance as this is a well trodden subject and is different with the export cars but I have searched through the topics but can't find my answer. My car is a June 1973 Build UK spec S3 V12 Auto 2+2 (Engine 7S11196SA/Chassis IS51856BW) pretty much unmolested at the time when I ...

No Problem Kev - let us know how you get on with them as I will have to replace my Bezels some time soon and would be interested to know if its easy and what the end result looks like

I used minimail.co.uk to stamp my S3 plate.
I supplied the plate and they charged me £35.00 including return postage back in 2015 and was happy with the result.
Hope this helps

Hi Pete This may help - heres a couple of photos from my late (June build) 1973 V12 2+2. Both the photos refer to "Amplifier" so I have attached the two photos plus the parts manual page for the later vehicles.The parts manual shows the wiring requirements and you may be able to work out where the w...

Hi Ellecari I have a picture of my 73 2+2 which is being restored and repainted. The photo was taken back in 2015. As you can see on the passenger side the chassis number (Circled) has been blanked and the rest painted. I have owned the car since it was 3 years old and there has been no damage/paint...

Hi Drewpy

The part number is C30670.

SNG Show its for the V12E £73.82 Inc Vat Special Order
David Manners show it for the XJ12 £60.00 Inc Vat special order
(As to the quality or availability that remains to be seen)

You could try Hutsons/M&C Wilkinson as they may know where to get it

Good Luck

Have you tried Norman Motors - they show C33339 (Rear RET pipe) in stock but not C33400
Might be worth a try 0207 431 0940

Hi Peter
I bought a set from SNG Barratt part number C33960/3 £11.76 in stock inc VAT

I bought mine in 2011 and they were pretty good quality so probably not worth trying to make them for that sort of money

Cheers

Hi ljbp To be honest I couldn't pickup the noise from the video so not sure what it is. I used to get the squealing noise from the power steering when on full lock standing still. Eventually found out it was the belt slipping. You can easily eliminate this by wetting the belt and trying it again, at...
