Does anyone know the screw size for fitting the front side lights? As usual the after market lights I bought don't sit quite the same as the originals and the screw is just too short to bite so I need to find a new one of the same type.

I can finally close this issue. After various false trails including a carb rebuild (which was needed anyway) the fault has proven to be the Lumenition electronic ignition system. A 1-2-3 unit has been fitted and the problem solved. I don't know if there is an issue with the Lunenition on +ve earth ...

I get the car back today from a different garage. They found the fuel was contaminated. Fingers crossed this resolves it.

Thanks for the replies. The current issue isn't a misfire or though I did have this which turned out to be a plug lead arcing on the head. I will check the earth on the distributor. The coils have been the correct type and the floats and jets and needles have been checked and replaced. I think I am ...

All summer I have been having a catalogue of problems with my 3.4 which seem to get fixed only to return. I had an engine rebuild over the winter and when I got it back it ran fine. After 500 miles or so the car spluttered to a halt and was recovered to the same garage. They diagnosed a failed elect...

I had accident damage to the rear bumper on my 62 MK2 and decided to try stainless steel and I am quite pleased with the result. Being a non standard part it took a bit of fettling to get it to fit but it looks good and is lighter than the standard one. I bought from http://www.groupharrington.com/e...

Thanks Paul, bumper off then.

Has anyone any experience with the JEC oil pressure kit? Has it proved to be accurate and reliable or would a capillary gauge be a better option?

Does anyone know if the rubber strip can be replaced with out removing the rear bumper? It looks like there are clips holding it in place and I don't want to remove the old one if I have a bigger job on my hands.

Thanks Alec, I have considered fitting a switch to the pedal but as a last resort. I have found what is claimed to be a genuine Jaguar, made in England brake light switch which I have ordered and will give a try. I guess next stop will be the relay and if that doesn't work I will fit a switch to the...

Has anyone found a reliable brake light switch or a work around to replace them? The switch on my car fails every year and I replace it and slowly but surely it fails. From what I can find on the web it is generally accepted that modern replacements are poor quality. I have also read about wiring a ...

Just had a go at this and whilst I can see this is how to get at it with my large hands I don't stand a chance. Will have to look for a little helper.

Thanks Guy much appreciated. Will give it a go at the weekend.

Anyone know how to get to the choke warning bulb? It doesn't seem accessible from the front and I have removed the panel over the top of the dash and can't get to it that way either. There must be a simple way of changing it without too much surgery.

SNG Barratt do a spin on oil filter adaptor, had one on my 3.4 for 5 years it's much easier than the standard paper filter.
