Joining the best e-type site in the World

[on2wheels]

Hi,
I am very pleased to be joining the forum.
I have just bought an e-type series I 4.2 FHC.
I am in that nervous in-between state, waiting for the vehicle to arrive.
Excited but nervous. What have I done!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am having the e-type trailered down to me in Devon next Wednesday.
Will supply more details then.
I will be coming to the forum to get plenty of help in the future.
If there are any contacts or areas of expertise in the south devon area I would be pleased to hear from them.
I am retired and hope not to have to get into too much heavy engineering.
Good luck to Tony in your search.
Cheers,
Nick.

Thanks David for the info. Rothwell has a code of std code of 01503.
Where is that, I don't recognise the code?
Thanks Clive for sorting my name out.
Just got the e-type insured with Heritage/Chaucer.

On the subject of stopping someone from making of with my new toy (when it comes, counting the days) is it worth using a device I have seen on the web called Discarnect Immobiliser/battery master switch?

Nick,

Thanks, you are 2 steps ahead of me. The waiting must be unbearable. Good luck with the car. Have you got any plans for it during the winter.?

There is a better way. PM me for details - best not advertise it!

Welcome from me to Nick,

I am a relatively newcomer also, but the guys on this forum are full of knowledge you will have a wonderful source of information here. :)

My car is nearly here, 4 days to go.
I will need some manuals.
Is the Jaguar E-Type Series I Parts Catalogue on Amazon for ?28.45 a good buy?

Both the Jaguar parts and service manual's are pretty essential reading (the former more than the latter I find) and they range in price from about ?30 each for the excellent repro or ?50 if you want original ring bound copies.
