Re: Daimler 250 V8 Saloon cylinder heads
They are regular listed on Ebay. A couple there at the moment but expensive.

Re: Transmission Gasket and Fluid
Had an ongoing problem with the sump gasket leaking on the BW35. Despite several replacements could never get the cork gasket to seal properly. Tried with or without added sealent, not overtightning, tightening really hard. But couldnt cure it! I think you can get an alternative rubber gasket, did n...

Re: Appropriate rear badging for '69 250
This is the correct Badging for a 1969 Daimler V8 250. Together with Daimler on the clear reversing light lens.

Re: V8-250 Saloon: G. Whithouse Autos Ltd - Experience of ??
Had my V8 250 Borg Warner 35 box overhauled by Whitehouse in August 2011 and have had no problems from it to this day. Still using car and the box changes gear faultlessly although careful adjustment of the Kick-down cable is needed to keep this so. Not particulary cheap but very comprehensive overh...

Re: correct ATF for the BW35
Hi,
When i had my Gearbox refurbished by Whitehouse It was filled with Dexron type 2. I queried this and I was told with the replacement modern parts it was Ok to use a Dexron Base Oil but not with the original old parts.
So i have continued to use Dexron II with no adverse effects.

Re: V8-250 Saloon: Wiring Block Connectors
Hi, I have renewed most of the under bonnet and wheel arch wiring and incorporated modern snap connectors and an additional fuse box. The only bullet connectors I have left are the ones to the windscreen wiper motor as I had previously restored the motor and renewed all the bullet connectors at that...

Re: V8 saloon bonnet catch
This pic gives you an idea of the set-up, although the striker in the catch is actually stuck in these pics. IMG_5569.jpg 3.jpg It is very important that the striker is in the absolute centre of the hole in the body, see 2nd pic. 2.jpg This can be achieved with the use of masking tape see 3rd pic. 1...
