eddyramrod Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I wonder if I could persuade one of the local banger boys to sub that Rolls for me with the promise of him getting it for racing when I finished with it? I know that won't happen, the poor old thing is already overpriced by two decimal points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sometimes 9. I loved mine dearly until it went wrong in an expensive way; Jaguar protecting their heritage right there. They used fuel injection and if you peel off the Lucas stickers there are Bosch markings underneath, it uses the same D-Jetronic as the Volkswagen Type 3 and 4 of the early ‘70s and I think Volvo used it on the P1800ES too. There’s a mechanical trigger in the base of the distributor, basically another set of points, and this sends a signal to the injectors for when to fire. The slight drawback is that it can only fire twice per cycle so on the 4 cylinder cars it fires the injectors in pairs. On the Jaguar it fires them 6 at a time. Makes you realise how well they did to achieve 10mpg really Skizzer, richardmorris, cort16 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those escorts were prone to the fan thermoswitch failing. You used to be able on the CVH ones to bypass the switch and by unplugging some of the wiring so the fan ran constantly.
