[@ToTheGarage]

Thanks Eric

The sink could do with a wash too :)

[@torquaytoffee561]

What do you clean your sink with.....it looks amazing !!!

[@ToTheGarage]

Old coolant, engine degreaser, and fence stain. The fence stain has to congeal on your brushes for a few hours in order to apply that beautiful patina to the ceramic🤣. PS. it drains into a big bucket, not the drainage system👍 I look forward to your inciteful comments Glyn. I Think you must watch the videos in slow mo on a 52" montor to extract maximum detail related banter. See you next week?

Never knew about the sunglasses holder!! 🤣👍

In my British made, Canadian left-hand drive 1999 XK8, the fise panel is on the right.

[@ToTheGarage]

Thanks mike. The handedness of cars can get quite complicated.

Hello John. I have a question. Did the XK series come factory with Tire pressure sensers? I have the sensers in my aftermarket wheels, but I don't know how to check them on my Dash. thank you for your time.

[@ToTheGarage]

possibly on later X150' cars but not on steel bodied X100's (Unless anyone else knows better?)

[@Karen-dc5bf]

What are the writings or markings on The back of the sunglasses holder when you take it off?

[@curtiswangrud8748]

In the States, it is mandated that the OBD II port be a maximum of 12 inches from the steering wheel (Give or take a couple inches since my memory isnt recalling the exact number). I never was a fan of the Recaros and presently have the 2003 standard seat with intermittently working power headrest lol. For me, I always found the style of seats in your Jaguar to be more comfortable.

Great John, never knew about that Bluetooth socket. But what can I do with it?

[@ToTheGarage]

HaHa. I feel another video coming on!

[@anthonyunsworth1288]

To The Garage great John, like to keep you busy. Also, have you covered topping up air con or when it needs to be? And what about the mobile phone buttons, are the usable anymore? I’d like to be able to play podcasts and music through the system from my iPhone, at the moment I use an audio lead into the cassette slot, all a bit old school. What about small rust spots? Oh the list goes on haha. Cheers mate.

[@fiveowaf454]

Is it an ignition cut off, or a fuel pump disconnect?

[@ToTheGarage]

Specifically. It cuts off the ignition system. It cuts off supply to the fuel pump and sends the unlock signal to the door motors

[@paulpietruszewski4226]

The ignition cut off is a great tip.

[@NorthernsoulBoy63]

Didn't dry of car pocket part before fitting

[@ToTheGarage]

The shame😔🤣

[@MitchGrooms]

First..lol Again, love this..

[@ConstantinSPurcea]

I'd rather have me a Mk1 with a jet seat than a 'boy racer' Recaro that really... it's like buying a Ferrari California... it's not an F1 car or an Enzo, but it's still called a Ferrari. Same with general Recaro seats... they've got the name, but they're not £15K a pop.

[@swansong007]

I notice from watching your videos you are not keen on cleaning your car. Is there a reason you don't cherish her like you should .?

[@ToTheGarage]

All my cars get washed regularly but they all get used regularly too and I live within earshot of a windy beach so they don't stay clean for long
