THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

The Problem located and fixed, it was found that there was a leak from the thermostat housing, i'm not sure why the water level in the rad never dropped but she is now dry as a bone.

The car has not moved for a while, and yesterday Most peculiar I found a water leak that looks quite bad, I checked the top of the radiator and it still showed as being full, so how can I loose water without the rad going down?.

yes my car has been converted, long before I bought the car . Again with regard to studs rather than bolt bolts I don't know. If they were always bolted I guess that it has been changed possibly when the manual choke was fitted.

How many places were the vin number stamped on body parts, by accident I saw the vin number on the bonnet/ hood slam panel ?

how long do you think it will take to do just the lower steering column , replacing U/J and the CV Rollers and re assemble.
