Hi Mark...you need the cylinder with the reaction valve
....you need to assess you cylinder..if the bore is ok then just fit replacement seals...Steve

I think if you drill out the rivets holding the cover on then you can fit your new internals into your old cover....Steve

Hi Tom...I was trying to pointing out how the light works with the oil pressure switch....if it comes on when the engine is running you haven't got ignition problems you have a lack of oil pressure. So although the lamp is called an ignition warning lamp understanding how it works gives you far more...

Look at the wireing diagram for your car chassis number.. some have an oil pressure switch forward of the oil filter housring...its an on/off and operated the red warning lamp in the speedo....some think the red lamp is an ignition warning lamp but it was used in pre 3AW...Steve. "In early cars, inc...

assuming the damper is out when you do it..as you lift the piston you should be able to tell if the needle is lifting straight out of the jet and not scraping on the sides....Steve

As Andrew mentions above..the parts catalogue is you friend..the drawings dosnt show shims (only caliper mount bolt shims)...the section in the service manual refering to removeing/refitting the steering arm also covers the calipers and mentions shims....I think the shims are for the latter....Steve

Yes you are correct...Steve

Why do you want a list of values...are you buying or selling....it isnt difficult....just look at what's out there taking into account condition....Steve

2+2 prices on the Hagerty site are way out....Steve

White strapping studs for early cars also available from SNGB......Steve

What's your name....please try to put it with your car model in the signture area....what bellhouseing/gearbox do you have....the Jaguar parts catalogue will show the correct part number....dont forget that suppliers are ofter selling aftermarket parts and listing them with the Jaguar part number......

Hi Ross...to be honest the best tool to use on the 3 ear spinner adaptor as a standard type steel lump hammer and mentioned previously in this thread...these spinners can ne really hard to undo... I put a piece of old denim(jeans) over the spinner then fit the adaptor..then a few good whacks with th...
