Re: Consort front windscreen

Hi Nick,
Check online for Dennis Leys’ Restoration of a DB18 Consort.
I can’t be sure but chances are there will be an episode with refitting the windscreen to the car.
Cheers and happy New Year.

Re: Happy Christmas and a productive New Year

From all of the Forum members here in New South Wales and maybe even further afield, wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a safe happy healthy New Year. Taking up the theme of a productive New Year I will try to take that as a challenge and get my DE 36 to the 26 January 2024 Australia Day dis...

Re: AC fuel pump

Hello everyone I am happy to report that I was able to get the DE started on Saturday without having to dismantle the pump system, I suspect that apart from grit in the inline filter I have fitted, it is more than likely lack of use. I'll take the car out in a week or so when i have some time and ho...

Re: DE36 Automatic Oiler Diaphragm

Hi Pete,
Do you mean the electric pump that sits above the oil reservoir in the engine bay?
Let us know so i can check with Mark in Western Australia who is a guru for all things DE.
He has also established the Daimler Rubber Company supplying hard to get rubber parts for our cars.
Cheers

Re: AC fuel pump

Good morning,
Sounds like the fuel pump diaphragm and possibly valves are at fault.
Have you a kit for the fuel pump that you can fit?

It must be fuel pump season, I have a post about fitting the pump to make sure that lobe rest properly against the camshaft.
Cheers

AC Type U Fuel Pump installation

Hello clever people, I took the fuel pump off my DE 36 yesterday to test if it was working properly (stupidly I should have tested it while still installed). All good plenty of fuel coming through so I think it was probably just the inline fuel filter doing its job filling up with scale and rust etc...

Re: Special sports exhaust

Hi Everyone,

The Special Sports exhaust System Exploded View and parts list looks to be identical to the Consort one.
