My V8 is for sale.
New paint, etc, now.

There is no compatibillty between 14W and 29W.
The Jag 29W needs modifying to fit - the body is designed for a RH park. Trying to modify the sweep angle is a real faff.
The beauty of this way is you have a much more powerfull motor that should las years and not give up if it gets hot and bothered!

Yup. The curse of the Lucas wiper motor. So I decided to do something about the reluctant to start wiper motor in the V8 Excel. Having removed it I found that it is a 29W. Unlike the usual 14W motor fitted to most british things of the 60/70/80's. There is just about F all available for the 29W apar...

I would say using a high quality torque wrench would be the answer, like I did on mine with no further tightening needed.

After many stalls, other work, etc, it's done. http://imagehosting.rodsnsods.co.uk/130405e26cc0a45f33.jpg http://imagehosting.rodsnsods.co.uk/130405e26cc0b22c39.jpg http://imagehosting.rodsnsods.co.uk/130405e26cc0b998ca.jpg http://imagehosting.rodsnsods.co.uk/130405e26cc09b2f8b.jpg http://imagehosti...

Insurance co's often look in magazines for values when it comes to total loss payouts. Sooo, the higher the advertised prices.....

Did you lube the bushes? Also, check to see if they have moved causing the washers or arms to make metal to metal contact. As a last resort, attach wife to underneath of car and get her to listen. Two problems with that. Getting the wife to listen. Possible damage to car driving over bumps. Solved b...

Upgraded Hispec front brakes. Retrimmed leather interior. Very light servoed clutch (dodgy left ankle...) Needs pa...

My V8 (Lexus) Excel will be for sale soon. Has re trimmed interior as well. It needs painting - but could be sold with or without that done.
