Hi. I know this is an old thread but it came in handy. My boot light didn’t work, so I was looking for a switch working with the boot lid. Could not find any, the reason for that I found in this thread. Could not find it in the wiring diagram either, but I could see it was wired up to the number pla...

Thank you. Easy enough when you know were to look. Can hardly believe I didn’t find it as I looked in there, but obviously not good enough. Is your car rewired in some way? I don’t really understand your rewire a new earth from one of the lights. As I understand the wiring diagram the lighs are «hot...

Thanks, I’ll do that.

Thanks, my mind is at rest.. Traveling at lower rpm last trip, I have definitely higher ( indicated ) oil pressure at 1800 rpm than at 2200 rpm. This is the case whether I deacrease down to 2200 or increase up to 2200. Same story with pressure at 1800. But again, it is almost 60 years old. Maybe bee...

Thanks Glyn. I dismantled the pressure relief valve and it looked as it should. And I think there is not much that can go wrong there. Maybe spring tension, not very likely unless someone fitted wrong spring. Didn’t do anything else and have just completed a 70 miles drive on a dual carriage road. H...

Hi. 1964 3.4 «S», MOD. Starting from cold oil pressure is sky high even at idle, needle off scale in high end. As engine warms up pressure indicates more normal. When hot and idling off scale other end, indicates really nothing, 0 psi. At 3000 rpm a little above 30psi. Running on a 20/50 «classic oi...

Finally solved clutch problem on the -64 "S" type. We like to blame Previous Mechanics, here I have to admit Present Mechanic also was a little out. When I dismantled the slave cylinder I noticed the return spring was missing and ordered that together with a new slave. Putting all back tog...

Thanks. Master cylinder now rebuild with new rubbers and seals, and fitted. Bled system with vacum. Still same problem, clutch spongy on first push ok on second push. After a few seconds have to push pedal twice again to release the clutch. Bleeder screw was at bottom and feed line at top. I have sw...
