It was raining like that in my part of the UK too 😭

Well explained mate, saved me lots of trouble 👍🏽

Nice driving

I use Araldite all the time. It’s even worked where plastic welding has failed

Great solution that works really well. If I’m being picky, I would need to paint or line with vinyl, the apertures for when the cups are out

Not a fan of cars which are too loud but these are a bit too quiet. You’ve nailed the sound level there. Well done!

Looks like a great fix.

Thank you. Haven’t got a separate headrest on mine but was keen to see how to get in

Great video off to check my T6 sliding door for this. might stop the creaking I have after a lot of bumpy roads while doing the NC500

My jeep starts but it won't shift at all its stuck locked

This might be the only soft top sunroof by there's another one which I nearly purchased. İt has a glass roof

E types had them why not x100s. I used to work for Webasto way on back

What a find, looks super cool to me 👍

That's good. I've often mulled over this. I once had an mgbgt with the vinyl webasto sunroof. It was a great option for the uk climate. This sunroof looks similar.

Thank you for this video. I have a T5.1 and I’ve had a couple of issues with the door, I stupidly thought were separate issues. One was slide door not shutting easily (comes off runners) and the other central locking not working on the slide door. After watching your video it led me to see that the lower runner needs replacing and therefore the electric locking mechanism not lining up.

Brilliant video

Hi, thanks for the video. I'm tackling my anti rattle strips right now and I've ordered strip C. I just wondered how they are working with the window sliding against the rubber strip? The originals are flocked, presumably to provide less resistance than rubber against glass.

Nasty crack in your RR disc

Informative video

Thanks so much, just fixed mine!!!

Awesome, thanks! 🙏

Does anyone know if this will work on a 2008 XK? Range is 2007-11 and will work for the XK and XKR... Thanks in advance.

Whres part 2

Awesome info. Thanks!

Hi, I've recently found your channel and subscribed. I've been watching the story of the XKR restoration and I'm particularily impressed with the workmanship of Karl. I'm midlands based and I believe you said he was also based there. I would like to see if he would be interested in doing some small bodywork rust areas on my car. Could you possibly tell me where he works or supply a contact number.

2014 XF

When you mention the later cars had the different/rounded type nuts you pictured, what date about would start the range of later cars? Mine was made May '02 and I'm looking to replace the lugs.

Smiles all round - there’s nothing quite like picking up a new car. It is a nice colour and looks immaculate…

What's happening with the XKR.

great car, perhaps I should buy one

Hi. Thanks for posting. Mine will not go into drive most days without first passing drive. In addition if you go all the to 4th its hard to get 4th to light up then back to second you have to pass second and go back. Also park light up but you have to jiggle it then you here a small click. Might this procedure help this?

question. my j gate won't start in drive. drive doesn't light up. to get into drive you have to go past drive and then back to drive. and you cannot select second. it won't light up. Can this help that?

Turns out I have the same problem on a project car I have just bought. Great video, thanks....... I just need to find a disc now

👍👍 awesome

Koni Special Active is recommended on forums what I've seen... also considering them for my T6... I think it's safe choice.... or ST-X full suspensions, which are height adjustable... I'm little worried that the height won't be satisfying with Koni and I will be elaborating with correct sets of lowered springs, which is a lot of hussle

Hi, have you still got the van? Any idea what the gap should be between the front wing and door, between the front door and sliding door, rear of sliding door, and what the gap should be either the top or bottom of the doors or know where I can find the information out ? I’ve just resprayed my van and my ocd is in overdrive trying to get the alignment right, want it to be spot on before I fit side windows

It simply amazes me how these cars rust! I'm in the US and I've lived my whole life about 1-2 miles from the south shore of Lake Ontario. The area is the 3rd highest snowfall area (for a highly populated area anyway) in the US - and right smack in between #1 and #2! - and we're like one of the salty road capitals on the planet because roads stay open around here at all costs! I well remember the 60's and 70's how cars used to rot. 5 years old and they would have holes rusting through. 6 or 7 and the car became relegated as a "winter car"! Still mechanically fairly sound, often not a lot of miles, but with bodies rusted beyond salvage. Over the years I've watched how American and Asian manufacturers have finally attempted to curb rust, usually by hot body dips during assembly into a tank of rust preventative. And it's made a significant difference, those cars today don't rust nearly as bad as they used to. Then there's Jaguar! I also have an '04 XKR (conv.) and it has never, and never will, see snow! We don't drive our nice, prized cars in winter here! But I see more pictures and videos of these X-100's that had been driven through a few winters and they are as rusted out as those cars I remember us having back in the days. My car listed for nearly $90,000 new, yet it's built with essentially zero rust protection. It's like Jaguar actually WANTED these to rust! They only made 90,000 of these over 10 years, that makes them rare in my book. These cars just cannot, and never should be, driven in winter. Ever.

Can anyone tell me how to get hold of the guy without Instagram? I don't have it and I don't want any more accounts or apps to deal with. TIA!

I will never understand the mindset to drive these cars in winter! They're 2wd GT cars, not 4wd trucks. They're damn near a liability on the snow, but the worst thing is they're so prone to rust, I can't believe how these things rust. I think you could put a photo of salt next to the car, come back a week later and have rust! With all the major mass-produced nothing cars available, why doesn't it make enough sense to drive those and preserve these? I mean, I don't wear a nice suit when I pull a transmission!

Thinking of buying one of these. Dunno where you get those figures from though for the percentage increase. Your max/min figures quoted over the two tests were 83/70. That's 13db more which is only 18% increase at that widest point. A 60% increase from 70 would be about 112db. It does sound better though. Those were standard van speakers, not aftermarket I take it.

First thing to do is check that the roller at the top is tight ! and then the bottom..... If the roller at the top is loose that can be the main culprit.... Great video.... Yeh one of the very few videos i could find which had a depth and practical solutions.. Excellent thanks.... I have a similar problem . it was the roller at the top and the left screw on sliding door needed raising .

may I ask, which obd to phone gauge do you use? I can’t get any obd gauges, tried 2, to work on my 99 xk8

How's do you fixed abs/ asc traction not available kicking into safe mode shutting down... HELP me.....

10:00 thank goodness for impact wrenches

Hi John, I am doing the same Vibe 4ch amp & speaker upgrade, also looking at the under seat subwoofer - question did you connect it to the amp or the rear speakers - if at the amp did you connect to the “rear” RCA plugs? Thank you

Hi John, I do like the look of the original radio unit, so taking your advice, I’ve changed the 4x speakers, an improvement, but now going for the rest of your advice and ordered the amp and ISO adapter, will fit in the spring… Thank you

After watching several of these headrest fix videos, yours was clearly the best. The details on exactly how to release the leather was by far the easiest to follow. The "official" Jag method is definitely inferior to just removing the end cap and reattaching it.

Well done. Excellent video and really helpful.

How do I order a cup holder? The instagram site has no ordering ability

Hi, would it be worth getting the four channel amp bit considering my stereo already has 55w rms x4 with a built in dsp?
