Wilkinson's do a kit that is supposed to fit, and they must have used the kits themselves. Where did the kit come from ? There is a guy on Jaguar Forums that has the T5 conversion, the rear mount was done poorly by the company that fitted it for him, but he never mentioned problems with the physical...

Personally it sounds like the car is poorly maintained, and it is very poor to hire out a vehicle in that state.

It is a shame that you could not take this up with the company, they have taken your money, and as such should provide a vehicle that is in good order.

I'm guessing the prop is 6" too short ?

I don't think any Mk2 used the short tail o/d unit, the E type had 2 different prop lengths, but I don't know what they are.

I have a couple of Mk2 props in the workshop I will check to see what length they are.

The Prefix for the full synchro box is JCN, the N is the overdrive. This later box was actually built by Jaguar based on the Moss I think with Moss parts, but I am not positive on that. The tail length refers to the gear lever position, it is a longtail on the MK2. Take a look at this ad if you scro...

Couple of links to pedal boxes on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/jaguar-420-s-type-manual-pedal-box-/132072595499?hash=item1ec023e02b:g:j~sAAOSw241Ye8j9 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-Mk2-manual-pedalbox-/172490465957?hash=item28293ba2a5:g:egIAAOSwHMJYLu2k They are the same pedal box, brake master...

If you want more originality go moss, else go Getrag. Getrag setup will set you back up to £5K including propshaft, bellhousing clutch adaptor plate etc. Moss box you could pick up for under £1K, easy change, but you will need overdrive wiring, new steering cowl pedals etc. There is a bit to conside...

Hi Doherto,

take a look at this http://www.theopenroadblog.com/2016/07/ ... ngine.html

I am going down this route for my 3.4 Mk2

K&N don't appear to have a filter that allows the breather connection, but you could fit a union to the back plate if necessary.

http://transmissionrepairguy.com/torque-converter-problems Take a look here, I would not necessarily suspect the convertor, I assume it's a BW35 box as this is the only one with a separate torque convertor. The torque convertor is straight forward enough to change, but it does involve engine out wit...

I would look at a carb overhaul if you have eliminated the distributor and coil, I assume the leads and plugs are OK, you can get misfires from poor plugs and or leads. If the carbs are worn, you will find it difficult to maintain the tuning, but I would eliminate leads and plugs first. If it is mis...

Hi Jay generally these symptoms would indicate input shaft bearings or layshaft bearings, the needle bearings are a common issue with these gearboxes. If you are stripping the gearbox down, change all the bearings, check for wear or damage on the gears and shafts etc. but if all else is OK the gears...

Hi take a look at Kriss Motors info http://fairislepress.com/WP/?p=5889 They have masses of info on the wiring, there should be all the info you need here, a great reference, see the master schematics at http://fairislepress.com/WP/wp-content/uploads/COMPLETE-MASTER-SCHEMATICS.pdf also, I'm sure the...

Hi Richard,

have a look at SNG page http://www.sngbarratt.com/CatalogueProd ... 14&a=15998

There should be an adjuster nut and spring items 22 and 23 this is the later type, earlier types had a simpler bolt and locking nut.
