THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Don't know the numbers as I am not the one organising it but not as many as I would have hoped. Which hotel are you staying in as I will be travelling in from Torquay along the coastal road through Teignmouth and Dawlish.

Which day are you coming down, Sat, Sun or did you say you were coming down for both? I don't think the idea of setting up a stand is going ahead. It was being organised by a friend in Dorset but it is a case of paying for a club stand in advance anticipating how many cars you think will turn out. W...

Possibly not as hard as a starter but similar problems of no space to work in and once you have your hands in the hole with a spanner you cannot see past your wrist to see where the head of the bolt is that the spanner is supposed to be turning. A lot of feel work and one handed especially with the ...

I would say it was the diaphragm in the brake servo that has got a hole in which allows the brake fluid to cross over to the dry side and is then sucked by the vacuum into the inlet manifold where it is sent to the cylinder and burnt as white smoke through the exhaust. I had the same thing on my MGB...

First remove the toggle switch which is held in place by a spring clip/ There is a hole in the side of the toggle switch which ...

Nice one Jerry. I find it is always the small things that catch you out and how many times is it something you have not even been working on? I once changed the HT leads then the car would not start. So you checked and double checked everything, even put the old HT leads back on only to find there w...

The original bracket is as yours with just a brace between the two to keep it as one piece.
The painted air filter housing makes the engine bay brighter and more interesting rather than the Hammarite grey which tended to blend in with the top of the engine.

You do not say where you are as I have a spare reservoir. I am in the UK. The actual linkages for the steering are the same except for the steering arms which on the Adwest were beefed up with a thicker profile. This was to protect the arms from bending if you parked against a kerb and then turned t...
