Jack, close up of the fix for leaking boot. I have exactly the same issue, any chance of some close up pics please
It pleased me that you got a free task list. How can modern cars still rust so bad btw? They wanted 4.5k for new lights? Lol. Insane.
My goodness this is getting interesting. Not trying to nitpick your hard work on top of filming. Was the top of the rear suspension as nasty as the bottom? Being here in the states, your products used to do repairs was interesting. As for our use it may have been POR-15 in a kit with all the needed treatments included. Not cheap but works like a charm. Anti size would have been useful, when used sparingly. Keeping wet and dry torques in mind. Having a car with 1 year only wheels you're getting the wheels trued is so much better than throwing on some wild aftermarket wheel. I wish I had a wheel repair that was at those prices. Mine were 250.00 each. But worth every penny when done right the first time. I'm looking forward to your further adventures with this car, not to mention when the Pantera unveiling after being set free from customs. Keep em coming and THANKS for sharing. CHEERS
As Scotty Kilmer (USA) says, "Jaguar have been selling us over-priced rubbish for decades"
Well done Jack, garages have been ripping off motorists for years and they are no longer motor engineers but just replacement technicians.
I wish I could have one of these, but i need a hatch, why did Jag not put in folding seats on these cars. Same as the XF?E
I was given very useful gift a couple of Christmases ago… a wheel bolt/nut remover that works on a ratio to slowly wind them out… works well! Google it.
Never trust a jag owner
Never trust the jag Vendor
Never trust Jag themselves, they sold my brother an incendiary x type.
Only trust LOU GUTHRIE. HES THE ONE AND ONLY IF YOU WANT A GOODEN!
I had the same wheel nut issue on my XJ8. I used a perfectly sized hole-saw on a drill. It took hours.
Also ALL the old wheel nuts need replacing with NEW one-piece wheel nuts. If they are the same as the 2004 XJ8 it’s a fairly standard size, and much cheaper than even used OEM.
Nothing like fixing your car on a driveway in winter time! I've got to do both front springs on my car, hopefully it stays above zero although I have been known to tinker in -10 lol
Would have put rust killer on it before paint n rustproofer. On the other hand probably would have paid the dealer to replace the lot and happily pay the £2611.
