THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

That's a lovely looking car, Philippe and in a great colour. Mine is also opalescent maroon! The yellow fog lights are a really nice authentically French feature. Thanks for taking the time to tell us about it.

Here's a pic of the underside of mine. Not sure how useful it will be. My anti-creep solenoid is hydraulically disconnected - somewhat crudely I admit. Apparently they were fitted because drivers were not used to cars moving without them touching any pedals! How quaint!

You can remove the interconnecting spindle with the carbs in place, but I've always removed one carb first, then the spindle. There is no special way of removing the lower carb bolts that I'm aware of. Just conventional tools and double-jointedness. You may find a socket on a long extension works fo...

You're very welcome. Best $30 I have spent on my car!

It seemed such a simple pleasure that we took for granted at the time.

Count me in!
