The sight of those 250 V8's on the circuit was just gorgeous!
Thank you Mark for the impressions.👍 It‘s a big Daimler community in England, i wish we had such a big community here in Germany.
Thanks, we had quite a few Germans again this year, were you one of them?
Unfortunately I wasn't there. I currently have to overhaul the SU-HD6 carburetors on my Daimler v8, which is why my Daimler isn't running at the moment. Maybe I come to one of your meetings sometime.
Aber Sie haben stattdessen, Armstrong Siddeley . Der letzte echte Daimler Straight Eight aus der Vorkriegszeit, der die deutschen Küsten erreichte, wurde in einen Mallory Speedster umgebaut.
Need to know how to park
we'll help!! 😁
Great vid. I have a 2010 e class Mercedes. I’m not sure if this is a Daimler engine but I think I have the exact same issue as my plugs look like that. Do you know if this procedure will work for me?
Another good one. I'm about to do this to change the speakers out. Thanks.
Thanks Alan, good luck.
Music gives it a thumbs down, how on earth can you destroy the entire point of the film with someone looking away at a piano? Utterly moronic
Bit late to the party. I have a QJ7000 and '73 JH. I find the blocks with the cutouts are bit better as it distributes the weight over a larger surface area. Love your content, its nice to see other people enjoying and using a JH.
Thanks Alan, my pleasure.
@@Daimler-Jensen Do you ever find with the QJ, that one side comes down faster than the other ? Its a bit disconcerting when it happens. Its's bled properly and the air pistons have 45psi in them. Wondering if one of the valves in the pump is having an issue.
@@alanphillips4851 Yes, I known what you mean. Mine drops down pretty evenly but one side doesn't go down all the way, when there is no weight on it, so I have to push it down.
I was going to use this video to help diagnose one that I've never heard run as soon as though I've never heard one of these run ever... Super misleading wish it didn't have the music lol
Please loose the music it spoiled the video!
sorry Trevor, point taken.
Trevor, I'm trying to find the videos you made??
great selection of vehicles.
Thanks Keith, there were certainly some odd vehicles, very interesting to see!
Thanks for this brilliantly explained video Mark. On your shopping list I have found the same fan from stoney racing, but did they also supply the other items? e.g. .hoses, thermal switch, mikalor clips, overide switch.. If not can you point me in the right direction please. I'm in uk and want to make the same upgrade.
Surely with external pipes from one piston to the other, there's no oil ways which would leak fluid when you unbolt the piston. Any fluid leak would be from a perished or damaged seal or from the pipe connection or bleed - no ? Otherwise I'd like to know why they seize ? ..and how to prevent it ? when many classic cars are not used as everyday transport. Stainless steel pistons imply a lack of corrosion but surely it is the piston's seal sticking in the bore rather than metal to metal contact ? Thank you. Bfg.
Great idea Mark. I didn't know two coloured LED's were available so I'll contact Gill. Cheers again, Pete
Pete, do you have the article from the magazine that describes how to do it? If not, I can email it to you?
Thank you Mark. I've never done this before on any car so your video is helpful and encouraging. cheers, Pete.
I’m 17 and I just got a 1933 Austin Seven Boxsaloon and I love it. Me and my dad will do it up quite a bit and I can’t wait to bring it to shows near me. It’s such a fun car to play around with.
Thats fantastic to hear! There are not enough young people with classic cars. You are right, they are such fun to drive and very easy to maintain. Keep up the good work, thanks for your response.
I love the Jaguar not the quick lift 😉🍻
Thanks Suran, it is a Daimler, not a Jaguar.
My herald is great fun in the snow too
Beautiful, I am just starting my love affair with Austin.
welcome!
Long lasting cars...still run...😊
Very cool video. I was in the one of the cars and tired as hell at this point. Amazing to see this perspective. Thanks for marshalling
Tim, thanks for your response. Please share the video with your driver and anyone else.
Excellent video and a good insight into marshalling - thanks for producing in appalling weather conditions and then sharing
Thanks for your response.
My word, technology has moved on since I last marshalled around twenty-five years ago! We were using digital clocks then but nothing as sophisticated as this.
I bet a lot has changed, although the crews are not allowed to use electronic equipment to figure out their average speed, still being calculated with clocks and tables.
Thank you for marshalling from car number 11.
thanks Bernard
Thank you for beeing there #34 BMW 320/4
Our pleasure
😂❤😂lovely car great video thanks for sharing 👍.
Good to hear the different engine noises, but not sure about the squeal from the brakes.
Lovely car, shame about the muzak in the background! No music, please. Just the sounds of nature and the car. (Dunno why vloggers think adding music adds to the enjoyment.)
Very interesting, thanks.
Thanks Simon
Well done...A proper sports car!
Great video😀
Thanks Duncan
Awesome to have this perspective for Lejog as well. Thanks for Marshalling - without you events like this would be impossible. Looking forward to this year's Lejog
To get my annual Rally Fix, I'm marshalling at the Saltire Classic tomorrow (Sat 11/11/23) and the LeJog in early December, so keep an eye on my TH-cam channel! See you in December??
Yeah I don't think I'm going to be able to read that screen at 200
200 mph or km/h ??
@@Daimler-Jensen probably more like 20kph. The time on my phone is larger than that
Should have gone to Specsavers....
It's been a while since you did this. Are you happy withe the results...
Good question! We couldn't get the car to run well and, after a lot of checking and head-scratching, it turned out to be a faulty (new!) EI. Now with another one, it's running lovely again.
@@Daimler-Jensen Thank you...
Due to the BABVVO and TEBBVO laws, all petrol cars will unfortunately soon be banned from public streets in the EU, CH USA and Scandinavia :-( In Germany, the Green People's Party has given the order to shorten the fuel supply from 2025 by reducing all conventional gas stations to just one state-run central gas station per city or county Now they even want to slow down all gas pumps by 20 liters per minute to 2 liters per minute... From 2027, some car spare parts will also be banned in the EU... such as exhaust systems, turbochargers and even some engine and gearbox oils. .. California and New York will do the same from 2027... So no more investing in petrol cars... They even created a new type of crime here called emissions and smoke crime . "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" BABVVO in Germany and HESCHLAVVO in Switzerland.
Stock Exhaust?
more or less....😉
Hi, great idea.. what type of led light did you use to obtain red and white??
If you phone Gil at Better Car Lighting (.co.uk), he'll be able to tell you, he's very helpful I think.
The thing I hate about cars of the era is the whine of the straight cut gears, though it doesn't sound too bad in that.
This was delightful, thank-you so much for sharing. The little finger indicators brought a tear to my eye, I remember them from my father's car, in fact I remember him having to wire and add little round lights and tape down the fingers when the law changed, I hated the new indicators and have always missed the little fingers. What a beautiful car, I really didn't need the music, it was intrusive, I would have liked to hear more of the engine sounds.. I see it needed double-clutch for the gear changes lol gosh I miss these old cars they were so round and artistic and carefully made, I miss the dipswitch on the floor and I LOVED the horn! thank-you for including that it made me smile.
Definitely on my 'To-Do' list, thanks Mark for the info.
good steve
welcome to the 21st century Mark ;)
Thanks Joe
I’ve bought all my bulbs off Gill, including headlight led bulbs. He’s a great bloke that knows what he’s talking about
absolutely
I must have a mental make-up from the days that was built , I wish we all drove cars like that now when the world made sense and one could do our own car servicing because they didn't have computers.
We were born a little too late Bruce....
Great snapshot of the 2023 event and a great teaser for the 2024 rally. Well done Mr. Hooghiemstra. No apologies necessary. I know how difficult a job this can be and very time-consuming. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your nice response
May we begin a campaign to have these two men, Smith Esq., & Mr. Saunders, knighted? Fabulous Video Mr. Hooghiemstra - no apologies necessary - the audio and video were clear. Very good way to 'preserve' these good men.
Thank you, my thoughts exactly.
Thanks a lot! Very charming. Greetings from Stockholm
Thanks for the video! About to use one in a rally
Good luck!
Lovely
