Cheers, I will check out the Lucas part number, I forgot about that! DOH! I don't mind points, it condensers that p155 me off!!! I am off to get a mate with a van!TerryG wrote:I think this is the right part for that lump http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Jaguar-electronic ... 0590484634
give the seller a ring, he has electronic igniton kits for everything and seems to know his stuff.
It must be worth a £30 investment to know that the ignition system is good (and will never need adjusting again!) Even if it is only to let your Jag escape.
JPB, the difference is you dad was right!!!!! ( )
I opened the coffin again today, it seems to have a aluminium box inside the wooden one, there is full (creepy) padded lining in the top but nothing on the bottom, apart from what looks like saw dust (embalming filler?) and bits of card (wrist holders?) and paper (embalming paperwork)... There are locks top and bottom that the coffin key seems to fit. The smell from inside the coffin was like very strong wood, slight musty and possibly the stagnant smell of death... When I can get enough people willing to touch it, I will take it out and post some photos.
Then it started to get dark and I lost my nerve, I am OK in the day, but not at night... I sh1t you not, an owl hooted and that was it, i sprinted away.
