Yet another example of the law of inaccessibility; removing any component will require the previous removal of another one.

Removing the radiator hose to get the fans out feels silly to me. If one piece of plastic was a cm or two smaller that wouldn’t of been necessary

@AndyK.1 3 месяца назад

Don’t need to on XJR. Just twist the fan pack closer to 45 Degs to get it out.

The Bonnet can be put into service mode for easier access, disconnect the struts and lean the Bonnet forward, secure it with a couple of bolts in holes provided.

Great tip! Thank you

Great to see these slightly more modern cars too!

@LivingWithAClassic 3 месяца назад

I’m glad you liked it! These still feel “new” to me compared to what I usually work on.

@heckmacbuff 3 месяца назад

The earliest of these cars are approaching 30 years old, so I should say they are classics already! Lovely engine and great work.

To give yourself better access to the front of the engine on an XK8 disconnect the strut support and the bonnet will tilt further forward, do note there is a hole to place a bolt or screwdriver or... on the hinge to stop it falling on your head

Very nice to see you working on these "newer" vehicles. As you mentioned, these are now becoming classics and are much more accessible and drivable here in a modern environment than the older ones here in the US. Thank you, Adam.

Even though its a newer Jag I still enjoy the video .

“Newer Jag” ?? OMG, my F-Type is absolute “post modern” !!

@petem85793 3 месяца назад

It is possible to just replace the bearings in the idlers and tensioners just by pressing them out. This is much cheaper than buying a new tensioner or idler.

@LivingWithAClassic 3 месяца назад

But more expensive for a customer. Remember that labor costs too. Plus I wouldn’t want to reuse parts that caused a belt to fail

Agree re xk growing on me. Hated them at first. Very affordable and bargains considering the features, esp engine. A great video as well!! I love these csi style vids. Crime occurred, view crime scene, solve case.

Lovely cars. The owner obviously looks after it very well.

Hi when are you going to a video on the tvr thanks

@caw25sha 3 месяца назад

That was painful to listen to. It's nice to know that the seriousness of problems isn't necessarily proportional to the unpleasantness of the noises they create.

@williamendres1265 2 месяца назад

That V8 does sound good.

@LivingWithAClassic 2 месяца назад

Yes it does

@shauntvr4312 3 месяца назад

Great value for money these cars

Another interesting video good the the problem was the idler I am sure your customer will be very please Adam Best Regards Andy Allen.

@LivingWithAClassic 3 месяца назад

Yes it ended up being a simple solution to a terrible noise

@johndavey72 3 месяца назад

Another episode of "not a problem ,always a solution" .....Thankyou Adam . I don't know how these cars fair in your part of the world but over here in the UK they are rust buckets that remind one of the terrible build quality of the 1960 's.

@MitchGrooms 3 месяца назад

Great video, I have done this job too and was worried when you were going lefty loosy because one of those pulleys bolt is reversed and it is righty loosy and not lefty loosy. Which one is that?

@LivingWithAClassic 3 месяца назад

One of the pullies on the tensioner is but I just replaced the whole tensioner instead
