Seems like the OP succeeded as 1333 AR is now on the DVLA tax check site.

A pity folks so often do not follow up on their questions.

I see the description of that strut states that there is a pair used.

If you call SNG Barrett they will be able to find the bracket which goes on the frame - if they have it, of course. They may even 3D print one if not.

I'm not a series 3 owner but presume the bonnet stay is likely the same as an S2. Question, what actually is broken? The mount onto the picture frame is usually steel. Is it the plastic end of the strut? One of these: https://www.sngbarratt.com/English/#/UK/parts/12ff1bc0-cd4b-421f-9398-bb9ce7be2bb5...

Depends on your workshop skills and tools available. As with any model E, you will have to drop the whole rear axle unit and strip it out. Presumably you have a relevant manual and bench etc. suitable for doing this. I believe preloading of the crownwheel/pinion mating is fairly important! However, ...

I had a standard 123 distributor fitted when mine was rebuilt and it is fine. Not having driven other E-types I could not say whether it is better or worse than any other type. The more expensive version with selectable advance curves could be played with but I think you would only see the differenc...

Well, we came to the conclusion that there is little to worry about. I spoke also with our local engine machine shop which has years of experience refurbushing XK engines including cylinder heads and they cannot recall a need to replace a cam which has not been abused by lack of oil. Excess wear wil...

My E went into the Splined Hub the other day for some general service work and tune up. I asked for valve clearances to be checked because I thought it sounded a bit noisy. I was told I need new cams as the wear on the lobes was going through the hard layer as witnessed by the stripes in the nose of...

Sorted yet? If not, have a look on the E-Type forum (forum.etypeuk.com). Lots of info there. Basically if you want ceramic coated manifolds you can buy them from SNGB or other Jaguar specialists. However, the coating is not likely to last long, by my experience, especially if you take you car out in...

If you have no original paperwork for the car and it does not have its chassis plate with all the numbers on (?) then does it still have its original engine frames, in particular, the so called "picture frame" at the front of the engine frames? Look at the top of this for a stamping on the RHS (look...

I've not been able to listen to your mp3 file. However, a squealing sound would typically be caused by a loose/worn drive belt and often only lasts a short while due to the alternator being heavily loaded replacing the charge in the battery following starting the engine. If the belt is really loose/...

Hello Svein, welcome to the JEC. You may find you get some useful response to your question here, though I cannot advise on your question itself. However, if you have not already done so, I recommend you also join the E-type Club UK and the forum at etypeuk.com. There is a wealth of information to b...

Bob,

Have you spoken with Angus (1954Etype on E-type forum) at Moss Jaguar in Letchworth?

Do you have a manual? Should be shown in there.

Else, if you look on the SNGB parts website for your version E-type, there's often sufficient diagram to show the linkage positions.

HTH. Jerry

I think that might depend upon where you are situated.

The XK engine is incredibly rugged and will run a long time with low oil pressure as long as you don't thrash it. I agree with Mike that sorting it sooner rather than later is best but just now, I think it is OK to run it for a while, depending . . . 20psi ?? At what engine speed? Is that the maximu...
