Jaguar XJS 1989. What does she really need?

Now name Natasha my newly purchased gets a once over of what she really needs to get back on the road. Theres good and bad!

[@ajay-xjs]

That's a nice XJ-S, it'll finish up looking great. I really love the yellow XJ as well, such a nice colour.

Thanks Andrew!

Good day. Love your videos. Greetings from another Jag lover channel in Germany. Greetings, Chris

[@newblackdog7827]

I wish I had a lift like yours to be able to work on my XJ40 here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@newblackdog7827]

In England the rocker cover gasket leaking is merely Jaguar’s “automatic front subframe anti-corrosion mechanism” 🙃

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

🤣

[@scottemblen282]

Geez that interior is nice! I can't wait to see Natasha get up and running

[@lrryakbc]

Love the sound track for Natasha! Best of luck with her - she’s a beauty!

Had to stop work ‘cos it’s 39c you say, well I’ve had to stop working on Morwenna ‘cos it’s 4c here on the Wirral today, with a heavy dollop of snow being forecast for tomorrow as well. I also got a manual ABS pedal box last week, yours seems to be suffering from the same problem as mine does, in that the return spring for the clutch pedal appears to be broken. I’ll be collecting the rest of the bits for the conversion next week.

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Your having a late winter while we are having a late summer. Interesting re peddle box. Will look next week. Thanks

Repaired an 80 series landcruiser with the same crap inside the fuel tank (old E10), found the crap was all in the lines, filter, pump injectors and return line

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Hi Jim Hopefully its not too far gone.

[@ScaphanNetwork]

That chassis looks incredible! You’d never get that in the UK…!

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Hi Russell Looks good doesnt it and we do have to do those strick MOT's either

[@MarkBoot-gc2tb]

Natasha..love it! Seeing how dry it is under the engine and gearbox are you sure she's got any oil in her? 🙂 Seriously though, she looks pretty solid under there. I think you've got a good one.

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Hi Mark You would think not! Still cannot believe how clean it is under there. Thanks

[@alexandrecouture2462]

Fun video!

Greetings from Ireland 😃

[@paulsgarage3169]

I can't believe how dry that car is underneath. Must have been secretly built by someone besides Jaguar. I'll bet those brakes are seized. Why not remove the fuel tank and using the POR15 products clean and treat and than use POR15 or KBS tank sealer? It would also cost a fraction of the price of a new tank. You might need to put a length of chain in the tank during the cleaning process to get all that muck out. I did this to the tanks in my XJ-C 20 years ago and they are still good to this day. Gives content as well. I love how all your cars have names. I have never given one of my cars a name 🤔.

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Thanks Paul Sure is an option!

[@kart44]

Have a competition and get the viewers to name a car,

[@donporter8432]

I find the music distracting from discerning your accent but otherwise love your channel

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Yeah! I have back off doing that a bit

[@donporter8432]

Thank you sir

[@opanakeopanake1338]

See you use Penrite 20W-60 Engine Oil, how's it go? Not to thick. Looks like good oil for the v12 just interested in your oil choice. Great vids

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

I have seen it used a lot by good Jaguar mechanics over the years, so it stuck with it! Thanks for the compliments

[@dylbradbury744]

Do you guys over the ditch have quite a few jags or daimlers just hiding about bugger all left here in nz

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Probably more than you guys. As years go by early models diminish while newer ones become available. 20 years ago plenty of s1's around but not these days

[@94xjrgodown2]

How's that Xj220 looking?

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

😅 I wish

[@robertroman7261]

Ghastly music! 🤫

[@tjmthejagmandownunder]

Yours is the first negative comment re music. All the rest have been positive. I guess each to there own! Music is very limited to copyright. But thanks for watching
