JAGUAR XF - NO KEYS - RISKY RECOVERY...

[@Ray62_145]

I just discovered your channel tonight, that was some precision maneuvering of that Jaguar, especiallyt since it was so close to the fence and putting it into it's new owners driveway was pure skill, very well done, liked and subscribed. Ray

[@terryfoster1706]

Unfortunately had to be recovered twice last year, (first time in 40 years), with Green Flag, and the expertise was superb.

[@coletorrens1121]

Great job Greg. You just know the keys turned up the next day....😃

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Saturday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Good Morning to you! Thanks for tuning in bright and early! Hope you have a good weekend! GDB

[@localnutter]

Man, That was Brilliant :)

[@michaelwilson3844]

Absolutely brilliant job what skill to clear that bar above gates millimetres away from roof of car , well done MR GDB it’s a thumbs up from me👍🏻

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Morning thanks for tuning in! Appreciate the kind comment! See you on the next one! GDB.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Strong work there mate, that Daf has been a trooper for you!

[@skanti-sp2qz]

Wow it was tight on the gates with horizontal bar.

[@forddoctorforddoctor5918]

Another faultless Leyland REC👌👌👌👌👌🤩😎

[@unexplained5239]

This is what we call high precision recovery. LOL @ 15:53 . I had the same haircut years ago! Now i'm best friends with the hairclipper! Thank me later 😅🤣

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

YO YOOO! Morning Morning! , Oh yes!!! , Yeah will save me a few pounds on the weekly haircut too lol. Although bit OVERDUE at the moment! See you on the next one! GDB

[@juliadaniels3871]

Most definitely Precision Perfection, Greg ! YOU are simply the GREATEST!:-)

[@Theaggressivesalad]

Good work! I'd have personally disconnected the battery before starting as that alarm would have driven me mad whilst I was trying to work 😂

[@eliotmansfield]

how do you do that without the keys?

[@Theaggressivesalad]

​@@eliotmansfield He opened the driver's door at the start of the video. I'm sure you could get in to the boot easily enough to disconnect it.

[@98Blackbess]

The Jaguar alarms have their own power source, so disconnecting the battery would have made no difference.

[@Craig-c5e]

@@98Blackbess so why did it stop when the battery died??

[@philtucker1224]

I think the power source is also a battery…

[@CurtisCasey-q2u]

Not gonna lie I looked at the gate and initially thought loads of room but as the video went on hats off to you mate millimetre precision

[@paulsmith3714]

Hi there. To unlock rear wheel in engine bay by engine cover there is a gearbox release lever to pull which releases rear wheels mate

[@budboy14]

well done content is always amazing did anyone locate a set of keys

[@gazcrx]

if the door opens would the bonnet open to disconnect the battery? im only asking out of not knowing

[@markfoden765]

If you want a job doing properly then obviously there is only 1 man for the job but on this one it was greg🙈🤣🤣only joking of course,awesome professional job as always greg and perfect positioning at the drop off,hope tash has a lovely mother's day today🥂🙂👍

[@PantsManUK]

Should I ever be unlucky enough to require the services of a vehicle recovery company, or mobile tire fitter, in the Staffordshire area, I know who I'll be calling. Stellar work sir!

[@JamesSmith-yt1dz]

Every video me and my son watch ur videos we like them so much and we are getting ower own track made by to a slide bed and e also have a recovery time trailer we are spending a lot of time on them both u have given us so much inspiration

[@tonywadkins5258]

I think you need to brush up on your English language skills.

[@michaelhorsman3380]

Nicely done

[@123MondayTuesday]

You are very good at sticking objects in tight spaces, how so?

[@scottmurray2729]

Is there not a pull cord under center console that releases handbrake.

[@LG23223]

I know on the range rovers they have a mechanical handbrake/neutral release under the cup holders, do these cars have the same , being made by the same company ? Never the less, cracking job !

[@julianhollowell1436]

Yes they do, 30 secs to release and avoid damage.

[@boderick1]

@@julianhollowell1436 Car would still have been in park, electronic control for gearbox.

[@alanparkinson5724]

Great job mate

Great work mate 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@AhriCRose]

Who was the car going to? Was it a family member? Sad about the owner :(

[@tonyryan2107]

Above and beyond that was mate

Excellent work there, many a company would have walked away from that job

[@old_con]

Was a difficult one being so close to the fence, but you thought it out right and all went well. Nice one ! 👍🏽😎

[@g__o__l__d__6673]

great job bauldy :p

[@benriley324]

Good job well done. Shows what can be done with what you have and the right experience. How about an update on the whole fleet, what you have what’s staying what’s going etc?

[@joparish1037]

Good video 👍 Shame when your car is worth more than your house! 😂 Need a new hi-viz there too buddy - that one is about as much use as a bat cloak! 😂

[@matthewescritt7206]

If you can get in the car could not not disconnect the battery and then realise the back wheels to save you some messing around. Not saying your way doesn’t work just a thought

[@cdesign.graphicsproduction4925]

Question… by no means criticising… just me wondering…. Why don’t you disconnect the battery as you are able to access the car?

[@andywalters7300]

Perfection

[@RichardArblaster]

Cracking job 👍👍👍

[@Craig-c5e]

Would have just used the manual hand brake release! 😮

[@stevehrs4503]

It will all come with Experience

[@bluckfox]

it's a nice JAG XF rip to the owner

[@alexwade9797]

What's with the holes in the deck greg? Sure theyll sure a technical purpose

[@paulspurs]

Hi good videos but I always wonder how much the service costs are they different prices depending on what sort of recovery is there a reason you don't tell the cost at end of video ..cheers

[@robtaylor4462]

That was good you managed to get the car away and without grounding it. I guess the rear end of the xf has deflated air bags? Just out of interest, say if it had been driven on that drive would you have been able to tow away with your repo spec

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Morning thanks for tuning in! , Yes im very sure it had dropped a bit, im assuming it's not been used for quite some time, Yes spec lift would have been achievable but would of had to jack it up first, and then skids under rear wheels until could get tow dollys in, most likely would of set dollys up in the road being wider, as the dollys stick out quite wide. GDB

[@AnthonyValentine-vm1yc]

Brill job mate! Why is it not being dropped off at a main dealer? I thought they were the only ones capable of cracking the key code via computer jigerypokery & applying to the car makers direct for new keys? And you are talking weeks, not days for keys. Am I right?

[@thegingerhustle3173]

Fair play ❤

[@Mrreal1871]

I would’ve done it exactly like this but just dragged it with sliders afterwards. As I’m lazy. 😂😂😂😁 What’s the length of that bed. It looks massive. It’s gotta be more than 22ft.

[@neilt1889]

The handbrake release is under the cup holder thats were it was on my XF jag ?

[@Georgiee.and.Dan.]

Ok let’s gooooo 👍👍👍

Well Done

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Thanks so much! GDB

[@JamesAllen300]

Could you not open the bonnet and disconnect battery??

[@ellischilds7182]

This might be a silly question. But how do you get the car off at the other side. Considering hand brake is locked on etc you obviously winch it up but how about back down? Great videos by the way

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Watch till the end ;)

Hi greg great video as always what lightbars are you using on your disco

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Morning thanks for tuning in! , Vantage Beacon Bar! GDB

[@pharoahegypt]

Assuming they had it dropped off to use it at some point when they find the keys, why didn't they just wait to find them first? Would've saved all that malarkey imho.

[@johnburfield6818]

Why didn't you disconnect hand brake

[@flannanisle1]

You da man mate👍

Greg the Jaguar XF you recovered why don't you open the bonet and take the battery out to stop the car ala from going off you could of put the car battery in the front of the car in bin bag

[@RobertMcInally]

How did you get the car off the truck, I'm intrigued

[@sercanserj7804]

Watch the video

[@imagseer]

Used the roll-back and pushed it?

[@old_con]

Should have gone to specsavers 🤣

[@philtucker1224]

Bob the recovery truck bed slopes backwards so the car “rolled off”.

[@Awatchandy]

See it was a technical recovery and delivery, I know you put your text box info but what about doing a vid with voice over saying about your thought process etc?

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Hi, This video is a basic one edited by me, when I have my videographer, we sometimes do that like on a past video with the landrover and the ford transit custom hanging into a field! GDB

[@Awatchandy]

Yes I've seen those, its just this one you could see your cogs turning as you looked around the vehicle, I was just wondering 'What can he see, whats he thinking about and hows he curing it"? I know the ones in fields and ditches can be technical but this one with limited access along with the uneven surfaces looked very interesting. I've been a subscriber for a few years now.

[@123MondayTuesday]

@@GDBRescueandrecovery Honestly, I prefer the way you do it, I'm not a fan of voice overs for some reason. There's another UK recovery channel on here who voiceovers, I just prefer your approach, text and the odd talk into the camera 👌

[@DAVID-bv2gv]

was that luck or judgment 🤔

No spare key either??? Oh dear ⚠️

Wheres your transit repo lift when you need it? Youd have done this in a youtube short with that 😂

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

IN BITS! If you're on instagram for cheeky updates on there! Mr GDB _ , and go back a video! I think you've missed one! GDB

[@delmilligan4584]

That’s probably one of the poorest recoveries I’ve seen

[@KenlyPacquette]

You should have a wreck truck instead so you would just put your dollies and move instead pull up the vehicle like that can damage the transmission

[@harrypalmer6228]

Everyone knows the keys were behind the sun visor 😂

[@G0LGS]

The key must be somewhere !

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

They will probably find it im sure!

[@michaelfrancis7072]

If you could get in the car, couldn't you have opened the bonnet and disconnected the battery before you started.

no keys on a 21 plate ? did they put them in the coffin ?

[@cosmodog4845]

Excellent job?

[@robloxfan4271]

Wouldn’t it of been better to wait until you got access to the keys?

[@tonywadkins5258]

A real professional would know that there is a release lever inside the car to put the auto gearbox in neutral, and if he didn't know he would just simply 'google' it.
