Re: Evan’s classic cool 180.. waterless

I’ve always used Castrol 4 Life in both my E Type and XK120 without any issues (plus a water wetting agent). I also have my Kenlowe (took the original useless fan out) on manual control so that I can switch it on when I want, eg approaching a traffic jam etc. But, as others have said, whatever coola...

Re: cooling fan

I have an β€˜old’ 2 speed Kenlowe on my 4.2 and decided to convert to a manual switch. This is because many years ago, on a scorching hot day, I was caught in very slow moving stop/start traffic on the M25 and as we were waiting many minutes before moving another few car lengths, I decided to switch t...

Re: Steering wheel vibrations at 70 mph

When I had a steering wheel wobble around 70mph, I swopped each front wheel with the rear one, one set at a time and took the car for a test drive. I then found when I swopped the o/s front with the o/s rear, the wobble went! So I then knew which wire wheel it was and sent it to a specialist to chec...

Excellent and informative explanation DaveπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

Re: E Type Video

Excellent πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

When we were parked at cafe at the top of a mountain pass in Switzerland (sorry, can’t spell its name!) with a Ferrari one side and a Maserati the other, our E Type was much photographed with no pictures being taken of the other twoπŸ‘πŸ‘.

Fuel tank

Hi guys, I’m considering replacing the fuel tank in the very near future (before the good weather arrives!) as there is a smell of petrol fumes in the boot and I’ve already replaced/checked everything else (pipes, pump etc) in the boot. Have you any recommendations as to who the best supplier of the...

Re: Content not viewable!

Thanks for all your replies guysπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

I did find the earlier comments (thread) on this just after I had posted this thread but it was too late to delete it.

Suppose I’ll (we’ll) just have to accept this.
