Maybe cut the slam panel off, do localised repairs to it on the bench, and then replace the slam panel and weld up the cuts that you made to get it off.... If that's feasible depends on the state of rust on the slam panel.

❤ awesome Beautiful 😊

When we first went 20 years ago my wife described it as feeling as if she was an extra on a film set while I wanted to emigrate there! 12 out of 10 absolutely brilliant. It's now down to 6 out of 10. Far too many people there whose primary interest is alcohol, even the Earls Court Show (which has been unbelievably brilliant in previous years) is half the size and turned into yet another bar. The bullet band stand was placed in an unbelivably poor position, we didn't see any of the 'roving' acts, the few aeroplanes that were there put on boring displays, (I know the weather didn't help) the mud was atrocious and the din from the 'Over the Road Show' was appauling. A once great spectacle a shadow of its former self, only the racing has remained undiminished.

No MK7/8/9 a big surprise.. Most handsome Jags of all imo..

I was there in 2006ish with my beautiful 2002 XKR Soft top.. I so miss the car and going to such events..

I bought a 2008 Jimny for £3000. Have spent at least that on parts. 2 years labour. Worth it?. Absolutely. I am a consulting engineer with a super stressful job. This is where I switch off, most times have little real idea of what I am doing and have restored it to mint condition. I will never ever get my money back, but this is the most satisfying fun thing I have done in years, and its super fun to drive. So the self satisfaction part has to count for something! (4x4 no 14 btw)

I went on the Saturday with general admission as well. First time for me, having watched it for a few years online. Had a fantastic day (despite some of the showers!) and one ill remember for many years to come. We stayed just 15mins down the road, so managed to get in about 8am and left around 9pm. Makes it a long day but id say getting in that little bit earlier if you can means you can get round some of the areas and have a look before the crowds come in. Yes id advise taking some lunch, or at least a few drinks and snacks in a backpack. We found some seating near to the inside of the Lavant straight. The sights, sounds (loud!) and smells all add to it and a great day out for £100 ticket. 👍👍

Nice video. I went on Friday, got drenched and ended up marching straight through some of these areas looking for cover

Excellent depiction of what Revival is like for the general punter. If historic racing is your thing you'll already have been, I'm sure. They've really expanded the non-racing stuff for those in your family who prefer that but boy, is it all expensive! Good advice to take your own picnic and seats.

Went 5yrs ago agree with all you said , got to be on a things to do list , dress up and go back in time 👍

Love those Olivers! It's quite amazing that the straight six still only makes 30 hp. Yes, she's a keeper!

Series 3 are the nicest series Landies, best of everything.

Still chugging along after all these years.

Have a 2a 1971 pick up petrol has parabolics gas shocks stainless exhaust electric ignition halogen headlights 265. X 75 tyres owned 23 years used for cruising the Cotswolds and shooting andl. logging. Door tops are aluminium

Fantastic episode 👏 really enjoyed it. Great story and lovely Series 3 Landy. I can see why it means a lot to you and your family. Looking forward to the next episode 👍🇬🇧

How much is a good one (complete) worth?

Great collection of Land-rover and machinery! Love that old battered Leyland

What's the difference between a topper and mower

I give up with the gloves 😂😂

Looking forward to the next episode in this mini series 😂

well that's just sheer laziness. or it's the "not my job" disease... we've got that work ethic here in the USA too

great stuff very helpful

very helpful thanks

These XKs do sound glorious, I have a 5.0 NA 2010 model, but.... I have an aftermarket cat-back exhaust system. You haven't heard glorious until you hear an XK with a non-factory back box 😂 I was side by side at the lights earlier this year with an XK-RS, he was green with envy, his sounded not a patch on mine! I keep meaning to make a KZbin vid of the sound myself.

Pretty sure it's not Lunar Grey, looks too dark for that, although Lunar Grey is one of those colours that can vary a LOT in how it looks dependent upon sunlight etc. I have a Lunar Grey 5.0 version. The code is on the plate inside the passenger door just above the door catch. The code for Lunar Grey is LJZ.

Thank you, that was very enjoyable and interesting. I liked the way you just showed us the close ups of the cars. Please don't put background music over your videos. They are good the way they are.

Good buys, the jacks are great. But I recon you need a Rolls Royce project 🇬🇧

Came across this by accident- Excellent video

Lend/lease, last payment made 29 December 2006. There is a debt of course, that can never be repaid. Ever!

On a smaller scale I really struggled to find a magneto for an old Villiers engine I rebuilt a couple of years ago. A bit gutted because I had to give up with it. Couldn't get a spark.

Nice machine. Now I know why you need a big hammer 😅

Still recovering from four days at the Cumbrian Steam Gathering this weekend just gone. Great coverage of Weeting

Well at least the scrap dealers will have a good day.

What did the bulldog make ??

I've had my 07 coupe for 12 years, and it's the best car I've ever owned. You can update the infotainment with CarPlay/Android Auto from Old Jaguar (Australia) or a newer kit from Mr12Volt. I've had the Old Jaguar kit in mine about 4 years and it solves the only thing i didn't like about the car!

Really useful, thanks for this👍👍

1:02:07 Not vintage, but the stars of the show MF 690 £26800, MF675 £51500 and MF 390T £68000 + 20% VAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Honda Civic and Renault Clio had less than 10 miles on the clock.

This is a great series Howard. There's nothing I like more than getting into the nuts and bolts of these fabulous old machines, or at least watching someone else do so! Nice to have the well-articulated explanations too.

Refering to the official factory workshop manual, there is no mention of a special tool, just remove lower spring, adjuster rod and shoe clips. Replace in reverse order. Perhaps using the retaining clips to position the shoes makes the difference. I know I did mine some years back and don't remember any hastle. As to removing the half shaft to ease matters, half shaft removal entails drawing out the shaft and backplate assembly, removing bearing and abs ring, then seperate the backplate from the half shaft. Sounds like fun!

i want to stuck in moments like this

Any idea the color of that gorgeous SS?

Very Good, Great tractor, runs sweetly, Love the oilers, Try not to turn the mag without spark plugs connected, Can damage the HT coil with the higher voltage that is developed when the mag tripps without plug leads and plugs. But these American Bosch mags were well insulated when first wound.

Just a small request if I may. When you are shifting lumps of steel about for filming, could you please use wood or similar to protect your viewers hearing. Listening through headphones is painful..

I'm glad I found this. As my welding guy has just declined the job, I am about to do the same to my 2006 JLX. The bit I am most grateful for is that it would not have occured to me to cut the access hole in the outer sill. I've already replaced the slam panel, just this and the hinge post outriggers to do now.

These rust for fun, hence I'm importing my one from Japan, 2011 XRK, 37k miles for under 23k . And it will literally be like new underneath.

My old Vitara had manual twist locking hubs I made beautiful stainless and brass slotted t bar tool to twist them on and off it lived in a little tray down by the driver's door. Great off road but too light to tow anyone out who was stuck in the snow or a muddy field. But it never got stuck itself..

11 years daily driver here. Hopefully you have already pulled fuse 19

Why is it that the x type gets called a ford so often? apparently they have 19% of ford in them so there’s a lot of cars out there with more makes mixed in that don’t come under the same scrutiny. A mate had an x type and he really liked it, he’s a good car man and said there wasn’t much ford to it and it was a very smooth and enjoyable drive.

I believe over the years Jaguar have overall made the most beautiful cars in history. From their first years until now no automaker has been able to produce such an impressive lineup. To most car enthusiasts Jaguars can’t be mistaken for any thing else from sports cars or the big saloons there’s little doubt….Thats a Jaaag!! 🤗
