What's this change or rules with respect to towing of large trailers? I'm behind

[@Grant.G.Simpson]

i used to have a woodford 3 bike trailer with wheel clamps back in 2014, i used to transport peoples motorbikes all over UK every week, it did many many thousands of miles faultlessly

[@tavarish]

As it turns out, the Jag wasn't Misha rated.

[@usget]

I mean, if he'd driven slower he wouldn't have caused the oil starvation, so I think you should still blame the guy

[@iwanevans607]

Wow, that engine really died a savage death, another great video on the V2 channel, nice to see a tear down of the engine and what a great gesture from Tom and a brill memory of Tina

[@BusThrash]

I suspected oil starvation would be the cause, the early AJV8 engines pre2000 were known to suffer with oil starvation under track conditions. Jaguars way to fix this was later models had a different dipstick, where the Oil Min level on the revised dipstick was where the Oil Max level was on the original part. Quite a crude bit of engineering 🤣

[@AndyK.1]

British ingenuity. Cheap fix. No need to take anything apart. 😂. I thought it was only the cars with Milan wheels that got the revised dipstick, but I guess they rolled it out to all

[@Thanos.m]

Honestly first thing I thought if you're going to track it just extra litre of oil 😂. Although by 02 they'd come out with the 4.2 which was a very solid engine.

[@throwback19841]

Interesting, my XKR has an engine built in 2001, wonder how much oil it can actually take lol. I put in exactly the specified amount from the manual as I've always been taught that overfilling oil = bad.

[@AndyK.1]

@@throwback19841 Overfilling is bad, except when the manufacture has calculated it is ok to a point. Fill levels are very variable on these engines. You can’t believe the printed figures.

[@flippy9133]

VVT welded up...Yes Alfa T-spark engine (Alfa 75) back in 1995 My (Race car) mechanic decided that all it did was advance the timing, so... On a race car timing can be advanced all of the time (in theory) so He fixed the VVT in place and welded it up...had timing perminantly advanced!

7:09 so did no one at jaguar with the XK8 ever stop to think someone might drive their cars fast around a track, and test it for this, also Accusump, if you cant go baffled, fit an accusump pump for its next motor from the breakers that keeps the oil pressure up in corners, its a restomod thing I remember seeing on mike musto's 1968 dodge charger that he roadcoursed pretty hard with a mild 440 basically a pump that auto squirts oil into the engine when the load of the G's change which I didnt think the XK8 of all things would need although I guess I should have known something was up when they mentioned on drive tribe the XKR didnt even come with a basic detroit locker Limited Slip Diff as standard, like standard issue 1963 era technology for a performance car, that just about ever muscle car worth its salt was fitted with and it wasnt even standard on a 1999 to 2003 jaguar with a supercharged 450 horsepower V8 that was 65 grand when new

[@cestfixement]

* you can tow without the specific license but the combined weight of you, your tow car, the trailer and its load cannot exceed 3.5t, regardless of what the possible tow load is, until you get a 7.5 tonne + trailer license

[@cestfixement]

unless you're on the old trailer ticket where its 4.2 or around that

[@smokeymotorsport]

Actually incorrect - that's what the rule used to be, but the recent change allows you to have you and your tow vehicle at up to 3.5 tonnes, and then your trailer and its payload can be a Maximum Authorised Mass of 3.5 tonnes, assuming the trailer is rated up to that weight, and the tow vehicle is rated to tow that weight. I'm sure it changed to keep the caravan industry alive or something like that!
