Now the other projects have come to or are nearing completion it is time to add a new car to the fleet. So I have bought a wrecked #jaguar #ftype #svr which has front end damage. Not only that parts have been stolen and also the airbags have deployed.
But it turns out that even though I knew it was in bad shape it is worse than I first anticipated...
If you can help with the problems I come across in this build please feel free to contact me!

Of course the glovebox won’t close the car is mullered. I have had Jags for years and they have been bullet proof provided you look after them. The trouble is because like many luxury cars they fall into the hands of muppets who won’t/can’t afford to maintain them then trouble starts. Just got an F Pace SVR and it’s fabulous. By the way SVR stands for Special Vehicle Rating.

Do not ruin this with a wrap have it resprayed properly 👍👍👍

@mikehunt3668 Год назад

Fair play chris, that jag is stunning. We forgive you for getting rid of the Aston

@richardkeeling5821 Год назад

You're right the exhaust is Titanium but has inconel in it as well.

@kaywanali9932 Год назад

This was on eBay, I can’t remember what it was selling for

@skatinrocker Год назад

Good choice, Chris! I was the engineer for the interior on the SVR 😉

@Chris_Slix Год назад

Maybe you can offer me some tips on getting that dash out easy! And whether any f type dash will fit in its place 🤣

@skatinrocker Год назад

@@Chris_Slix they all fit the same from memory

@davedave897 Год назад

The first bit of the part number GX73 defines the model, the middle part of the number defines what part it is and the first of the two letter defines the speck of the part and lastly the end letter tells you what level the part is, each time the part is superseded the last letter will go up

@Chris_Slix Год назад

Thank you my friend thats super helpful! 😀

@skatinrocker Год назад

Part numbering is prefix, base, suffix. Prefix determines the model year, base is the part type, and suffix is the derivative of part. But if a number goes from AA to AB for example, it’s down to a change which has superseded the the old part. For interior parts there will be additional letters added to the end of the suffix, for example AB8PVJ. This relates to the colour 😉

@michaelspiller6877 Год назад

The GX means it's for xe,xf or f pace platform... the last letter at end is minor change revision and last but one letter can be different engine variant I think... I work with jlr exhausts and I don't think that exhaust is standard as the 575 one we make looks completely different to that.. I know janspeed make the one for svr range rover as its low numbers... Good luck with build 👍

@kenrossaukrsa Год назад

10 tons better than the latest Aston Martin at the 3rd of the price and look similar too. I was correct in my prediction , where’s my kudos and TTS prize ?😂

@leechadwick6661 Год назад

I've got the 2.0 4 Cylinder Chequered Flag Edition and absolutely love it......I'll deffos be watching this with interest.....I'd give my right arm for a V8 SVR in that colour....please don't wrap it!!...🤣

He’s doing proper repairs documented by videos, while when you buy a damaged car without concrete proofs of rebuilding quality you never know how things were done

@mikehunt3668 Год назад

Word of advice, if push comes to shove and you do have to buy from JLR, go straight to a dealership and speak to the parts department. If you ring JLR up you will get through to Jardine and they are absolutely hopeless. Worked for the halesowen branch that covered the nations JLR and it was very short lived. Literally kids with no manners and haven’t got a clue what to do. Hope this helps, avoid the headache.

I had a passenger ride in a V6 one of these at a Jag event and it was pants-crappingly fast, these must be an absolute beast. Can’t wait to see it fixed 🍿

@kevinwright3141 Год назад

Finally, one of you tubers has the balls to get a Jag! :) Ok, so the younger audience are now going "really, a jaguar, you do know they just are made from tin foil and super glue..." and although the build quality is less than optimal, they have a soul. Pace, grace and space, or something like that... Well done!

@vegaspool188 Год назад

Fascinated with this and clicking subscribe now. I absolutely LOVE my V6 f-type. Best car I've owed by a country mile. You don't care about the build quality when you gun it down the road and it's sound track plays. Going to get me an upgrade one day to a SVR

@Tommy-ob7tr Год назад

I believe the bonnet is the same as all the other AWD F-Type’s and not specific to the SVR, apart from the vents. Also, yes the exhaust is titanium.

@fairygodbrother Год назад

This car has been in my eBay watch list the last few weeks. I was going to offer him what you paid too but I had a feeling the rack would be gone and after the quotes I got, plus the dashboards on these are hell to take out (I owned a V6 one 5 years ago). I was too scared in the end. I'll be picking up a non damaged one I intend to keep. Ill be watching this build with mega interest fair play good luck mate.

Most R parts will fit the SVR, as the R is the base car. Fitting 2l 4 banger parts won't work as they're basically XE parts. Parts won't be hard to get for this as Jag share so many parts between models you just need to know the range.
