Right on! Just bought that Jag in your video 3wks and and have this problem. I just thought the lights were crap and bought led conversion. Thanks bro ✌️
The Marmite Jag, the S Type, love it or hate it. A 3ltr V6 was my first Jag and I loved it. Now on my sixth, but, I would have loved to get my hands on the one sorted by Elvis.
Purely personal preference but I would have left the smaller pulley on the supercharger. A smidge more boost won't hurt the car and it'll get it to go that little bit harder.
You for real? Don’t get the hate just cos the change of mechanics of this show. I really like all 3 of them. They all bring things slightly different too but all equally as good. Hope they got all 3 on for the special like they’ve been talking about. Imagine Ed, Ant and Elvis all together? That would be epic
"Vintage" does NOT start at 2002, it is 1919 to 1930. A Classic S-Type would be a 1963-8 model. I had an 04 model and it was wonderful. I found an excellent independent garage not far away who kept it on top form for reasonable money. I was very sad to see it go and I still miss it. That is a Mk1 body (Mk2 interior), is it 4 ltr?
My previous car was a 3.0l v6 s-type , my current car is a 4.2l v8 s-type. A Jaguar technician recommended 10/40 semi synthetic for both of them to avoid the cam adjusters/sensors throwing fault codes. He also told me to change it at 5000miles. I've followed his advice and had no problems. I sold the 3.0l with 210,000 miles on it , it was still running perfectly.
You didn’t need to recoat the rotors. I’ve owned a bunch of supercharged cars (Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, Caddy CTS-V, Ford Lightning, Audi A6) and the Teflon always comes off. There’s very little difference maybe a couple of degrees of intake temp. You should have used a solid coupler too, along with an anaerobic sealer to seal the snout. And Jesus man, leave the smaller pulley!!
@@Silverback0687 Just because he worked in F1 doesn’t mean he knows dick about street cars. What was the last F1 car you saw with an Eaton supercharger?
@@MikeL-FL This was all for TV, solid coupler is durable but on odler engines can rattle... sprung are easily capable on this to take the power. Agree would have kept the pulley... if you notice though he's assembling just for show because he put the snout on the wrong way around!
I ask the author to help or subscribers, I don’t remember in which video I saw that after restyling the modernized supercharger seems to be either smaller in diameter or more blades that give 420 instead of 400
@@paulmartin2429 Thank you very much for the information, we just have Egor stype R, you have a charget in the United Baltic state, there are very few of them, probably two or three, good If 🙂👍👍👍
#HowToSaveMoneyOnCarRepairs I don't worry about Milage..! I shall be purchasing This Vehicle for Export to Africa , we Love the V6,V8 and V12 engines..! Any road side Mechanic and Service and repair these Cars..!🤔🤔👍👍
Car manufacturers are only concerned with the early (warranted) life of a car. Engine oil flush is only really worth it in older, high mileage cars with dodgy or unknown history.
i used to watch every episode , but i dropped pay tv due to the amount of adverts , so i thought this would be good on you tube ,but these 10 minute clips are pointless
