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. From your thread, I get the impression the ignition switch is at fault rather than the inhibitor switch; if it were the latter you would be encou...

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...

Re: Daimler V8 250 Wood Trims

David,

This stuff does come up on eBay, ranging from good to less so.

Also worth giving Robert Grinter Restorations a call as he keeps a decent stock of used spares.

Regards.

Re: Radiator flush 250 v8

Alan,

I presume there is currently no coolant of any sort in the car ??

If there is, you need to check the compatibility of any type of rad flush with these designer coolants in case there is a conflict of some sort.

Regards.

Richard.

Re: Radiator flush 250 v8

Hello Alan, It sounds as though the area around the drain plug is dense with sediment and probably further afield; it is a case you will have to keep trying to make a clearway. It is possible the strong wire is not robust enough - try using something with a bit more resilience. Rad flush is fine pro...
