Re: fog ranger spots on 2,5 v8 1965

Hello Brian. It is fair to say that these lights have caused many owners an issue. The majority of which come down to poor installation and probably the greatest concern is ensuring that the live metal tab the bulb sits on is correctly insulated within the lamp. Placement of the insulation strip ins...

Re: Gaz Front Shock Absorber Settings (C20989GAZ)

Darren, I note you have a V8 saloon. GAZ are a good choice of adjustable shocks and I have used these on different classics along with SPAZ. Each model of car [due to weight and handling] will dictate the optimum setting. As an example, I have a Triumph Vitesse CV fitted with GAZ and have found sett...

Re: Start button wiring

In order of your last update: 1. Most of these V8 saloons will be suffering from some sort of cloth loss on the various cables which as you have come to realise is frustrating and less than helpful. The white wire is most likely one of the starter button [when you get one] cables, the other MAY be t...

Re: Start button wiring

The white from the push button starter goes to the ignition switch and then to fuse A3 The white / purple wire goes to terminal 1 on the inhibitor switch.

Re: V8 Saloon Parts

The reason you have not received a reply is because I've not had your email or PM prior to that. The person to contact is Robert Grinter [the seller] on the number I provided in my opening thread - hence I suggest you pick-up the phone. I have flagged the items on his behalf, hence emailing me is no...
