THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Nice touch and I think it would be something David would appreciate and be proud of that his car is now a museum piece admired by many.

The seats look original, but I did not know they were an option. Noted in the video below. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2019/01/rare-rides-the-sports-luxury-1966-jaguar-s-type-3-8/ As far as I am aware Jaguar only did leather or a material called Ambla which was a leather look vinyl. Those sea...

Lots of words but at least he knew what he was talking about which previous presenters of Videos about the S Type did not do. One thing I have to question and Glyn will know the answer to this. When Jaguar sent the bodies of the S Type to South Africa as CKD cars did they really cut the roofs off an...

As Glyn states just the two. The longer one hooks on to a metal bar that is like a washer on one of the bolts for the oil filter housing.
This is a very dirty picture showing the oil filter housing taken during my strip down and the bar that the spring hooks onto.

Generally it is not the water pump gasket but the water pump itself. There is a small breather hole just above the bearing/seal which is where the water seeps out of. (Indicated in the photo by the yellow arrow.) Water pump.jpg This can be caused by the seal on the impellor leaking allowing water to...

Three other places to check. Inside the rear doors where the chrome window channel is bolted to the inside of the door. Here you will find another felt sound pad. Water runs down the channel onto the felt pad and the door rusts from the inside to out. Very common on a Mk2 and S type. One of my rear ...

Just for your information Scott that felt pad you have on the bulkhead behind the battery needs to go. When you open the bonnet on a rainy day water pours down the back of the battery onto this pad which then stays wet for a long time. Being wet and in contact with the metal of the bulkhead you will...

Don't know. I can reasonably say that they are not original wires as the Jaguar loom had bullet connectors not spades and the plastic coated wires look too new. Original wiring was predominately cloth covered. But as you have guessed if this is an optional extra for the A/C then it could have any wi...

I have just managed to pickup a spare off EBay. £30 still in its original box and packing from SNG. Yes I know I have now spent £120 on two but as they are unreliable at least I will have one ready if the one I have just fitted fails in the next couple of years. Now put away in my box of bits I will...

A bit disconcerting but recently I had a massive drop in oil pressure. From a normal running PSI of around 40 it dropped to below 20 at 3000 rpm and whilst sat at traffic lights it dropped from a normal 20 to zero. IMG_1224.jpg IMG_1226.jpg Now I checked by looking in the oil cap that I had oil at t...
