Thanks everyone for watching this mini-series! Let me know what you’d like to see next… a new car on the channel, perhaps?
Great to see a super clean workbay. Kudos to Madder Customs.
Hurry Joel and fix the Jag,I want to see u driving it.Then u can fix my Peugot 406.
There's only one thing more satisfying than changing a shock absorber first time or doing an oil change and that is driving the car after and noticing how such simple maintenance transforms the car: roadholding improves with new shocks, engine revs with a 'happier' sound after the oil change. All that while the driver works hard to wipe a silly grin from his face.
Its how i started, more you do more comfident you get,i recently changed all 4 shocks & springs myself saved a load of money,its nuts & bolts pretty simple,i use you tube alot to see how to do stuff
"You'll be fine. You got the wheel off" LOL
Looking forward Joel to a Range Rover back in your channel buddy. Maybe a L405 next time?
worst thing is aftermarket parts i had to get one for picanto front left wishbone and what a bitch it was to get 1 bolt to fit as it wasn't align as it should and i nearly give up but never give up unless you know for a fact it not going to work lol
We all start somewhere! 3 years ago I was doing my first oil change and now, I’m diving into my engine to sort out some issues with the timing chain and the valve seals. Mildly terrified the entire time but I’m staggered I’m able to do it.
Great video loved it well done 8t was fab
Decent vid, much prefer the vids of you doing trips or just talking about these cars as opposed to current repairs being carried out on this jag
Fair play to you Joel mate, good to see you getting stuck in. Looking forward to seeing the Jaaaaaaag back at full strength!
It's a start! Doesn't matter if it's a simple job, once you get into doing these jobs yourself, it saves you alot of money rather than going to a garage and you have the satisfaction that you did it yourself and probably took more care with your own car than a garage would.
Take jag Germany
Just a warning for any inexperienced people wanting to 'have a go', changing springs with spring compressors is very dangerous and should be done with utmost care. I've been working on cars most of my life and it's not something I do after an incident with boot spring some years ago. The force these things have is incredible.
Straightforward suspension repair / upgrade that will significantly improve the driving experience.. not just the worn bush but shock absorber performance gradually degrades (like tyres) and you will have restored the Jaguar refinement.
Good job. It’s all a learning experience and you can build on it AND don’t forget there is a ton of self help vids on YouTube.
What happened to the Mercedes CLK?
pre-filling a filter is a bit of a myth, it has been proven it doesn't really provide any benefit.
Stop pumping ££ into that worthless S-Type, Get an XJR and $punk money on that and you stand a fair chance of getting a return ££ wise!
Great video. But always wear eye protection when working with tools. No exceptions to this rule.
