Re: Daimler LQ 3-24, flickering oil pressure lamp

Dear Ranald
I have thought about this but where would install the sensor? At the place of the warning light switch on the oil filter housing?

Daimler SP250 rev counter

Dear SP250 friends

I am urgently looking for a working original mechanical rev counter for my SP250. In my car, unfortunately, the electric version of the Daimler V8 saloon is mounted.

I hope somebody has a spare one.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards

Re: Daimler LQ 3-24, flickering oil pressure lamp

Thanks, Stan for your advice. Actually I am not overly concerned about the oil pressure as such since the warning light reliably turned off and stayed off during the whole summer even on the warmest days when the oil was probably most thin. I just added a rubber washer between the housing of the swi...

Daimler LQ 3-24, flickering oil pressure lamp

Hello experts The oil pressure lamp of my 1934 LQ 3-24 flickers after some minutes of driving or idling. It goes out immediately after starting and I assume that oil pressure is ok but that it could be a failure of the oil pressure switch mounted on the oil filter. Any expereince with that? Has anyb...

SP250 twin coils

Hi SP250 experts Just a thought that struck my mind when I was reading literature about ignition. Maybe it has already been answered or tested or is maybe even a common tuning measure : Since the SP250 distributor has to separate points - why not using two separate ignition coils separately controll...

Daimler 21HP Open Tourer 1923

Helllo prewar experts This car is for sale. The seller indicates a type Daimler TB6 21. For me an non-familiar type designation. Any idea what it could mean? Daimler Days are silent in this respect. I could imagine it means Daimler Tourer Body 6 cylinder 21 HP. Is the car know to this forum and does...
