Hi, This is slightly off topic so I will not go on too much. You raise a good point. We have a huge list of things we would like to do with our website and services, and as I have said on many occasion on here and in the magazine, if you have any ideas or points to raise about the website, please e...

There are loads of suppliers of seals. Make a diagram of the cross-section with dimensions and send it to (eg) seals direct and ask them what they can do. Or cut a bit off and send it to them, or ask grublogger what they have second hand. None of these sort of items were actually specially made for ...

I believe that the following topics could be usefully covered in a series of hands on seminars (in the context of a Lucas ignition V12 HE for example): a) ignition timing setup b) distributor maintenace including vacuum capsule change c) fuel swirl tank cleaning and sock filter and main filter repla...

There is no fear of me atempting this, but i think it is viable as a project if its done without the need to pay a bodyshop to assemble the car as for the ' fiddly bits ' , its nothing more than i have already done to my HE , in that to restore the bodywork properly all the insulation, clips , loom...

i will give them a call , but i think any rebuild will be touching on a grand ?? unless others know different , a good used box will be around £200 plus fitting, which is fairly easy with a ramp and a tranny mount , and around three hours work I think you could get it rebuilt for 500 tops, if the d...

Assuming the facelift door lock mechanisms are the same as the HE (I realise the electrical mechanisms on the CL are not) perhaps you could try this: Remove door cards; unclip the rod between the solenoid and the door handle/lock mechanism. You now should have a manual key activated lock only on tha...

Thank you PJ for clarifying things for me.

As I said, if the subframe is sitting low, you've got corrosion or subframe mounting problems. However if the body is sitting low in relation to the wheel centre then, assuming you have no corrosion problem, it's a worn spring. Could you explain this to me, please? I had thought that if the subfram...

for those that dont know what the main difference is , well its all about the wiring, the bulkhead multiplug is different , with more ( ? ) wires for the electrolux wipers, the control module is different and the stalk control is different from the Lucas setup , the two are not cross compatible BB ...

I am not saying this will do it, but it would be worth checking the following: 1) That the two return springs from the levers to the cage are attached peoperly and are stilll pulling 2) That each end of the cable (outer one lever, inner the other lever) is properly engaged in the indent in the lever...

what do you recon to this ' waterless coolant ' stuff Not a good idea, IMO. The coolant system has to be 99.5% dry of the old coolant (ie impossible in a V12 withoout removing engine from car and heater matrix from dash) if not your engine will be full of jelly. Although the car will not boil, the ...

ON pre facelifts, the big centre light, if switched to the 'on with the doors' position goes out as soonas the doors close. The other small lights on the under dash and the rear should stay on for a few seconds and then go off. If yours is a pre facelift (do not know about them) and they all go stra...

Don't know about the club (the link to the tools page is broken again) but Grublogger makes them to order: http://www.grublogger.co.uk/pages/customjagtools.html Sadly, Grublogger do not actually offer this service any more. I spoke with them about two months ago, and the website is out of date. Tha...

Does the club have a V12 head puller for hire? If not, does anyone know where I can find one to hire or buy?

The only cost effective thing to do is to buy another one in much better condition. sadly. And if you can, keep the first to use for parts.
