Re: Installing New Wiring Harness Daimler 250V8
It takes me about 40 to 50 hours to install a new wiring loom in a 250V8. I am a professional electronic engineer and have done it a few times and know how to do it. So you may need to expect double the time. You need a lot of additional mainly bullet and flat connecters to the delivered loom and so...

Re: V8 Distributor
Leave the points ( new ones) in. They are much better than most think. Test the capacitor, if its ok.

Re: SP250 Fuel Pump
The traditonal version with contacts are fit and forget. The contactless version is a fit and inbetween two years call AA to carry you home.

Re: Glove box lid very early 1959 SP250
Syd, Many thanks, I am ashamed that Laurence Jones didn´t come to my mind to ask him. I know Laurence very well, met him several times at the NEC Show, and he helped me extremely with my restoration. I needed a correct rear axle, as the one on my car was a mixture of a TR3 diff with the tubes of the...

Re: Glove box lid very early 1959 SP250
As far as I know, there is a very early SP250 existing, which as far as I recollect belongs to the Jaguar Heritage Trust and stays at Gaydon? Maybe I am wrong. The car was displayed recently somewhere in England, perhaps at the NEC Birmingham Classic Motor Show in November last year. I only have see...

Re: Glove box lid very early 1959 SP250
Thanks John, Rach, Perhaps I should add more details to my car. My car is the sixteenth LHD Body 100026, built 29th October 1959. The car still has its one key fits all 4 locks, (ignition, door, boot lid, clove box lock). This makes me strongly believe, this is all original and the clove box lid is ...

Glove box lid very early 1959 SP250
My very early SP250 is undergoing a full restoration. I bought the car in parts. The dashboard which came with the car has a glove box lid lid installed. A friend told me, the very early SP250s had no glove box lid installed. Could it be my SP250 got the lid later in its live or was it a factory ite...

Re: SP250 Brake Restrictor Valve
Many thanks for all replies.
I think I leave it without the valve and have a trial test.
In case I have soft brake and need a double push I can fit an aftermarket restrictor valve anyway.
Thanks,
Josef

SP250 Brake Restrictor Valve
For my SP250, which is under restoration, I have two original brake restrictor valves for fitting inline at the top of the 5-way junction. Both are only the body without the valve. Someone in the past took the valves out. I remember somewhere I wrote its better to take the valve off, as its not nece...
