Anyone near Dorking or
Horsham got an SD1 I could have a look at...?

I've got a spare in the cellar.

You keep your cars in some funny places, Dave.

True. There's half a car down there. The rest of the spares are in the
(small) conservatory. ;-)
Until I sort things out it's the only place undercover for the new engine.

Can you not get a generic solenoid and fit it as a stop-gap? What do
the E-type restorers use?

Didn't know there was such a thing as a generic - where would I look for
one?

A quick google for "starter solenoid" finds

No - tried them quite early on, andd the one in their catalogue is
completely different.

Geoff's after one for a pre-engaged starter motor.

Ah. Never seen those available separately from the starter.

They were from Lucas. There was a company who took over from them for
spares etc, but a Google doesn't find it. It may have been a branch of
CAV. I remember looking through their cat. in a motor factors years ago.

As I said Rimmer list spare solenoids for SDIs - so I'm surprised similar
Jag specialists don't do the same.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's the same as the Jag one.

Similar, but not quite. Mountings are different. Thanks, though.

It sounds like a fair swap.

Photograph and details of what it will fit (strange mixture!) can be found
at this site:
http://stores.oksap.com/-strse-385/STARTER-SOLENOID-ROLLS-ROYCE/Detail.bok

SOME OF THE APPLICATIONS IT WILL FIT ARE:

1960-65 ROLLS ROYCE M45G

1965-68 JAGUAR 420, 420G, MK-X, 4.2L 6CYL.

1965-72 JAGUAR XK-E 4.2L, 4235CC

1982-87 JAGUAR VANDEN PLAS 4.2L, 4235CC

1973-87 JAGUAR XJ-6, 4.2L, 4235CC

1973-75 AUSTIN MARINA, 1.8L, 1798CC

IT WILL REPLACE THE FOLLOWING SOLENOID NUMBERS:

LUCAS 76706, 76845, 76859

IT WILL WORK ON THE FOLLOWING STARTER NUMBERS:

LUCAS 25684, 26180, 26272, 26327, 26252, & 26209

Surely someone must have one in their shed....
