Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - One came home today!

what's wrong with the switch? Can it be repaired ?

[richardmorris]

They are out of stock

 

This is the switch I need, part no. C38908.

 

 

Any thoughts as to weather this Hazard switch from Australia will be the same as a UK one?

Looks ok - part number is the same.  you could always swap the cover over from yours to keep the original look.

I have now emailed the company to see see if the picture is generic or the actual part they would send.

Hope it works out. I had a similar issue with the 2cv's hazard switch last year. Hazards worked and flashed the tell tale fine, but the tell tale only flashed on the left indicator not right ( god knows why). Replacement hazard switch and normality was restored.

[dollywobbler]

Any good?

That looks again like a S3 one same as the Australian one. SNG Barratt in the UK are out of stock.

Not helped by every photo being taken from a different angle!

 

SNG apart number is also c38908 so should be correct.

Back to work on the LNA today.

 

It has suffered poor running so we changed the carburettor for a second-hand one I had bought in the winter shut down, but no better. We did a compression check all 120-130 psi. Fiddled with timing but no better. Then tried the Ignition Module from the Visa GT, bingo it now runs much better.

 

The question is the Ignition Module on the LNA is a Ducellier 521007D, the one we borrowed from the Visa GT is 521007E, what is the difference between a 521007 D & E?

[PhilA]

Most likely a newer revision design of the same part.

E is obviously faster!

[richardmorris]

Well the E excitingly works and D doesn't do so.

I collected my MGB GT from my favourite garage today with a fresh MOT, without any issues. This is the same garage who are doing my MG Metro and as the two were parked together I snapped them. I then took the B to storage and collected my MG ZR so snapped those two together all well.

 

One day I will be able to line up all 3!

[richardmorris]

Do you ever forget you have a particular car?

 

I'm currently working out how to juggle three cars around the country this summer, with one working perfectly, one needing paint and one needing a service and mot.

For cars stored off site I have to draw up a plan of where they are stored because sometimes I can't remember!

 

It would be a good game for Shitefest, you could sit me in a black Mastermind chair and ask the question, name all the cars you have! Then run off to the pub and leave me there.

I found different letters following dizzy part numbers usually mean different advance curves so if it pinks under load you might have to swap the Bob weights and springs.

I have now bought a 521007E because that is all I could find so we see how it goes.

Mrs 6C and I have been the Jaguar spares day at the National Agriculture Centre today and she thinks I went a step too far!

 

I was looking for an XJ6 Series 2 Hazard switch and all the major suppliers say they are currently unobtainable. My sign worked when a lady chased me to say they probably had one at base and gave me her business card. As it turned out, I found a secondhand one - still on the steering column - with a trader who said he had no tools to take it off. He solved the problem by selling me the whole lot for £20!

 

Mrs 6C was looking for parts for her MK10, bonnet, front wing and any other bits for the body when we start to restore it. She was overjoyed to find a good useable grille

[HMC]

Great! OBV online auction sites are very convenient but not quite as satisfying as finding a barg at an auto jumble. Where in the queue is the mk10?

Just gathering parts at the moment so a while away yet.

[richardmorris]

Glad you found a cheap switch- hope it works too! I was going to beaulieu in may and it's always good to have a part to search for , even for someone else.

[hairnet]

iWhere are the pics of the fkin mk10?

hurry up will ya

[The_Equalizer]

I do love S1/S2 XJ6s - more updates please! Massively underated in my opinion having owned a MK2 and Daimler Sovereign (420 Jag version). Coincidentally, I had a quick look at my 1970 S1 4.2 manual that's stored in the mother-in-law's garage this weekend. Here's a photo of it when I first got it five years' ago.

 

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

The Series 1 XJ was Jaguar's finest moment really - far, far better than the Mark 2 ever was.

[beko1987]

Your sandwich board is fantastic!

That looks fantastic, what does it need to put it back on the road?

[Six-cylinder]

From 1973 my parents had first a 1960 MK2 3.4 Auto and then a 1965 S Type 3.8 Auto when I was growing up. The S-Type lasted long enough for me to be lent it when I was a student if my car was broken and my dad wanted his Citroen GS, so I got to take it to collage occasionally.

 

The picture is "THE" S-Type but the only picture I have is really of my Herald with the S-Type behind it.

An unusual pairing on the drive today.

The Oltcit won't charge and the Bi-Turbo has gremlins in the windows/central locking!
