I have a 1986 XJ6. While the blower will always blow when needed, the heat and air only work sporadically- about 25% of the time. Blowing cold air in the winter and hot air during an Oklahoma summer is not good. What might be causing this intermittent functioning of the heat and air? We cleaned out the lines, but no improvement. I'm no mechanic, so too much technical jargon will probably go over my head.
Keep the videos coming mate – picked up an XJ6 S3 last week and I've now back-to-back watched all your content. Can't wait for the next.
It's been my experience that a nice thin layer of sealant is plenty to add to the gaskets before reinstallation. Too much and small pieces of RTV sealant can break off and work it way into the vital parts of the radiator or thermostat. This can cause overheating conditions without warning. Jesse mentioned those joints were known leakage areas on these Jaguar's so I appreciate his diligence on spending the time to really clean the old bolts, replace the washers and repaint the housing neck. Top job!
