Re: Manifold to Downpipe bolts

Hello everyone, This topic was discussed a little while ago, I was forced to contribute in the end!! It is not too bad a job at all, it is all in the preparation, exactness of the first center punch and subsequent drilling, good quality drills and taps, correct technique, and application of cutting ...

Re: Steering self-centering

Hello Rob. Pleased to read your friend is enjoying the Daimler and as you say, joining the DLOC will add to the experience. When you owned the car, was the car steering stiff at any point when the steering was turned - be it to corner or to centre ?? As you know, there is a difference between heavy...

Re: Steering self-centering

Thank you for your reply and ideas Ivor. One of the first things I did when I got the Daimler was to get those tyres. They cost a great deal of money but in my view well worth the expense, good all round handling properties, quiet, don't wear too quickly and look just "right" on the saloon...

Steering self-centering

Hello everyone. I hope you are all well. I sold my LHD manual with O/D 2.5 V8 saloon almost 2 years ago to a friend, we served our apprenticeship together beginning at Sept 1973! The Daimler returned to France with my friend from where I imported it in 2015, I spoke with my (still !) friend last nig...

Re: Service Bulletins - Can You Help ???

My word, you have been busy Richard. That is a very comprehensive body of work and I congratulate you. Quite a few years ago, a similar website, part of Jag Lovers, was created and somewhere on it was a most thorough explanation with stage photographs of the procedures involved in fitting the door ...

Re: Daimler V8 250 Gearstick Gaiter rubber

Hello all Perhaps what a previous owner did to mine may interest some here as an alternative. Its made from suede and well colour matched and fitted, I always thought it looked rather splendid and an improvement on the some may argue rather agricultural looking original rubber gaiter. In the attache...
