P. Regarding question #1: I own 139H. Most everything is original, including the headlight system. It still works fine going on almost 5 decades of use. I have no plans to make any changes. Jeff

Re: S2 windshield wiper motor park switch
It¡¯s all part of the motor, one of the easier parts in the Esprit to get at.. perhaps not. Some would say the wiper motor was suspended in space and the car built around it. Dave C

Re: S2 windshield wiper motor park switch
I looked at SJ and I don¡¯t see it listed separately and it doesn¡¯t seem like it¡¯s part of the steering column switch so is it integral with the motor? Thanks, Gordon.

Re: Replacing the oil pipes
I believe there are some cable ties in the middle below the shifter that you¡¯ll need to remove. Dave C

Re: Replacing the oil pipes
Hi It looks like I didn¡¯t explain myself too clearly. I have already removed the engine and the actual fittings to the oil cooler and I did think that the pipes would then just pull through

Re: What distributor are you running in your 907?
The question then, is: Has anyone who has run the *123 distributor* for a substantial time, "torn down the distributor" to see if oil has been leaking INTERNALLY? I know SOME people have had the 123

Re: What distributor are you running in your 907?
I put one in a Turbo Esprit but I still need to go back and pull the cover now that it¡¯s been running a while to see if it¡¯s leaking at all. The oil seal thats in question though is not the oring
