I had a similar problem on my DB18 sports special. I used Sprint Electrics near Warminster PM me for details. He charged about £60 to test and set up the regulator. I took my dynamo as well so he could put it all on his test rig.

Re: Trafficator Switch
Hi Dennis,
I have just changed my trafficator switch today, you are welcome to the one I have taken off. The indicator lever has broken but the rest of the switch may be of use to rebuild yours. PM me your address and I will pop it in the post.

Re: Daimler 15 starting
Quick update. Stripped head off again and found three inlet valves were not seating properly, even though lapped in previously. Rebuilding it now will give it another go later in the week

Re: Daimler 15 starting
Hi Andy, there is no attempt to start at all.
Soundmike, I note your comments regarding the fluid flywheel, and that makes perfect sense. I do like the idea of a separate feed to the coil, I will give it a try this afternoon.

Daimler 15 starting
Can anybody confirm if I can bump start a Daimler 15. I have just rebuilt the engine and I can’t get enough grunt to get it started, so I was thinking about towing it? Any thoughts?

Footman James insurance
Footman James offer a discount on my classic insurance because I am a member of the Jaguar Enthusiast Club. Can anybody tell me if it is the same with the DLOC?

Re: Special Sports - Oil Bath Air Cleaner
Hi all,
Just as a matter of interest, did you ever find an air filter housing either original or from another car? Would be good to know which other cars used that housing. Also if another car has the same inlet manifold as the sports special.
