THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

A big "thank you" to Glyn and Cass for your replies and supporting photos. I'm please to say I've now got the "Y" piece in the correct location, and both springs attached as per Jaguar's design. The third spring I mentioned is obviously an addition by a previous owner. The lower ...

Hi Folks, As usual I'm slightly confused, and hope someone out there can help! Firstly, how many throttle return springs should be fitted to the 3.8 litre engine? I appear to have 3, whereas the workshop manual (W.S.M.) shows only 2. As found, I have two springs attaching to the actual throttle shaf...

As Glenn points out, your colour enhances the clarity of what goes where. My 1965 version does not have a front valance, and I'm not s...

I don't have them on my 1965 car, but could they be horn mounting brackets? Please do post the definitive answer .

Hi there, When I was searching for a battery, I wasn't too precious about it. Love you, I was still using the original Dynamo/ Power steering pump, and had changed to Negative earth . I went to a large Halfords, and searched for the highest rated battery that would safely fit the space. I selected a...
