Nice work Ash, sorry to hear about the tools.

[@AshRowland]

Yea, I was gutted, 20 years of getting the right tool for the job gone in 6 minutes!

[@cabbage64]

​@AshRowland you inspired me to do a copart repair. Not you tube though. Doing an Audi A3

[@AshRowland]

@@cabbage64 No way! Email me some pictures please

Mine is Glacier white but i prefer the other white. 2015 facelift 2.2 Portfolio. It also has the same issue with the gearbox, it has a think about accelerating before it does it. it`s fine in the other gears.

[@AshRowland]

I'm biased, I love the Glacier White, it was a £600 extra when new!

[@rickgordongordonellissteel3761]

Good progress being made. Looking forward to seeing the respray. Sorry about your tools, what low-life toerags.

[@AshRowland]

Thanks bud, yea, I made shopping for the new tools quite enjoyable, they're now a lot more organised haha

Great Video and an amazing special guest!!😊 The car is coming along nicely!

[@AshRowland]

Haha, yes, quite the handsome chap he is!

After you had stripped the white bumper, it looked like there were still some black bits attached to it. Don't they come off? I'm so pleased that New Zealand doesn't use salt on the roads, that corrosion on trim bolts is shocking. I've got an x350 but have really enjoyed your series on the XF Sportbrake.

[@AshRowland]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you're enjoying it... the plastic bits I left were glue/melted on and I didn't want to damage the bumper removing them fully... they can be painted too, you won't see them

[@vaderdg2847]

Could have shook the bumper in the smaller bush to the left, the white Astra is going to be covered in jag rust. 😂😂

[@AshRowland]

My bad 🤣

[@paultaylor9652]

Great video young man, I think it could do with a detail once the new paint has bedded in.

[@AshRowland]

I agree, it really needs a wash, it'll need it more once it's been covered in dust by the bodyshop 🤣

[@chrisjeffries8167]

Another cracking video Ash, I didn’t know you were a Cardiff boy? I live just down the road from you keep up the good work mate

[@AshRowland]

No way! I'm originally from Bedford! Do you have a Jag, or just enjoy the videos?

Once again excellent video 👍

[@AshRowland]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@millarfamily2474]

Lovely stuff! Amazing the lengths we go to for a bargain! I'm off up the country in Northern Ireland tonight to grab the bargain of the century roofbox (yes, I've reached THAT age where a roofbox is cool) and this is in the middle of Storm Agnes in a torrential downpour (I'm secretly looking forward to it - later I might build a little fort and sleep in it 🤣). So sorry to hear about the tools - I know they can be replaced but that's just unacceptable - @rseholes

[@AshRowland]

You know what, I've never had a roof box, but then again I can fit an awful lot of stuff in the back of the car 🤣

[@TheDave50uk]

Hi Ash I'm trying to sdd to activate my steering wheel. I'm running it on Windows 11. When I try to open functions it says it needs pagmcp thankyou.

[@AshRowland]

Hi mate... you need to run the web browser (Microsoft Edge I'd imagine) in Internet Explorer mode, if Windows 11 will even let you do this.... click on the top right hand corner for the drop down menu and there should be the option listed there

[@VehicleRevolution]

😂 if you ever do feel the need to upgrade to how we helped out with Andrew let us know! Glad his bumper went to you as he’s a lovely guy and good friends with our very own Mr Jaguar Carl Bruganti

[@AshRowland]

Thanks for that, I'll keep it in mind... I'll definitely want the bumper if I stick a V8 in it 🤣

[@VehicleRevolution]

@@AshRowland don’t need one as we sponsor the fastest XF in the world and can easily turn yours into a sleeper 🥷

@@AshRowland ahh when you put it that way 😂🙈

[@chrisjeffries8167]

Ash just a quick one do you know about the jaguar scrap yard in rover way ? They got alsorts there you may be able to get the bits you need

[@AshRowland]

I knew there was a scrappy there, didn't realise they were a Jag specialist... thanks for the tip 👍

[@chrisjeffries8167]

@@AshRowland yes I had my power mirrors from there they had loads of jaguar parts I got talking to the guy there and he said that they get most of the jaguars come in from some insurance companies
