  1. Glad it's fixed... ... and who is going to explain why it started with a smidgeon of throttle? Jonathan
  2. It's not uncommon to bend the throttle pedal, but I think mostly the other way. What stops your brake and clutch pedals when they are fully depressed? Jonathan
  3. There's a picture somewhere of an additional cooling intake from the flanks to the engine bay. (IIRC the Jaguar Mark 2 had an flap in the flanks that fed extra air to the cockpit. And it was controlled by a Bowden cable.) Jonathan
  4. You can upload photos directly or link to them on an external server. Here's Ian B's excellent guide. Jonathan
  5. All very informative... but on choice of ratios I think we're missing some basic information... Jonathan
  6. Welcome. That name rings a bell, but only faintly. More, please: Can you add a photo? (Just say if you need help with that.) Anything connected to the ignition? How does the rest of the ignition work?Jonathan

    Q 533 GJT

    :-) Thanks Jonathan
  8. We had a Daimler Conquest (MFW 707) that was a similar colour. Like this, which isn't ours: Jonathan PS: I've never heard about the paint but there once was a possible connection between Lotus and Daimler. But I've only found one source. PPS: My father had seat belts fitted to the Conquest. About 1961. Most people had never seen them except in aircraft. That led to repeated but not very funny jokes based on the registration.
  9. Nothing yet. I'd still like a few more requests before I order the next batch. I expect the price to be similar to the last lot but I can't be sure yet. ... but all the canisters are black. It's the bags that come in black (with tool pockets) and red (without). Jonathan
  10. The diagram on page 46 shows 2 banks with 3 in each bank. Are they like that in real life? Jonathan
  11. Can you face pulling them one at a time and seeing what they do? That might help us work out why yours are the way they are, and will certainly help someone else in the future... we just don't know who or when. :-) Jonathan
  12. Thanks, Tony. I've now cleaned that up as well. Jonathan
  13. How many can you see? 5? I've got the 2011 Owner's Handbook. Send me a Private Mail with your email address and I'll send that and you can see if it matches. Jonathan
  14. Can't find anything in the Assembly Guide. Have you checked the fastener packs? If not I'd buy a mixed set and play it by ear... Jonathan
  15. Thanks. As above, this is going to help someone someday. Jonathan
  16. Thanks... all done with the external actuating bits still connected? Jonathan
  17. Well done. How far did you have to disassemble to isolate the stickiness? Jonathan
  18. Usual offer of a staging post at OX44 9DB, 10 minutes off the M40 from J8 or J8A. Jonathan
  19. ...avoid ground loops that could cause damage to the electronics by making sure your laptop is only connected to the USB cable and not to power via an inverter or 12V socket. Would it be worth adding an isolator to protect everything, especially if you're moving it between computers and vehicles? Jonathan
  20. Thanks, Tony. Please could you try that link again? It's now there on the Bulk Buys forum... I'll play around with that. Jonathan
  21. There's a vast amount on this in the archives, including the solutions (compromises) that other have gone for. I think it boils down to three initial questions: What are you going to use it for? Have you already decided your final drive ratio and rear wheel size? Have you found a gear calculator that you like yet?Jonathan
  22. Thanks, Longy. Still putting the order together. Jonathan
  23. PS: While you're fettling would you like some storage canisters and bags? Jonathan
