THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Finally managed to get some time on the car. Cleaned out the slave cylinder as that seemed a little sticky, but my thanks go to John and Nigel for identifying the hose at the rear of the cylinder head as a likely suspect.....couldn't probe the bore with even .030" wire. New hose fitted, fluid r...

Thanks John, that's a good call.

I'm hoping to get under the car over the weekend to get a plan of action.

Cheers, Stan

Thanks Bob,

Not had a good look over the system yet......I'm waiting until a mate of mine is free to act as pedal pusher while I'm under.

I did replace the slave about 8 years ago, but I'm fairly sure the master is original so could do with some investigation anyway.

Cheers, Stan

Symptoms: 1) Pedal occasionally and temporarily locks solid on the downstroke. 2) Pedal is slow to return and occasionally the drive is not immediately taken up even when very nearly at the top of its stroke. 3) When the pedal reaches t...

Hi Dave, Probably too late to be of use, but there's a bit of info here, halway down the page, from when I rebuilt the box. http://www.jagstyperegister.com/forum_new/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=114&start=30 I found this write up useful: http://jaguar240.blogspot.com/2011/02/steering-box.html Stan

Dear lord....I'm feeling your pain, Nigel.

By crikey, you've worked hard on this, mate.

Aaaand.....relax.

More power to you, Nigel.....hope you stood back and smiled with a pint in your hand.

Fitted the new HT leads (7mm copper core) with new plug caps....only to find a misfire under load. :roll: I've refitted the original leads......and all seems fine. What a pain - and that's not the work of a moment, either. Are you still on the original distributor and points? If so, you might have ...
