I made a mistake.

- Опубліковано 27 лип 2023
- So we have had the Jaguar for about a month now, and I wont lie its been one of the most unreliable cars ive ever owned, its been constant problems and issues.. now im hoping that this is just because we got the car cheap and theres just a little issues that we need to resolve and it'll be good after this. BUT.. I'll admit, we have made a mistake.
In the last video you saw that we straight piped the Jag, now although the 5.0 supercharged V8 sounds AWESOME.. its way too loud as a daily and it was a mistake putting that exhaust on, so today we are firstly installing some blackboxes to make it bit quieter. We are also installing a new thermostat to the jaguar xf r as you will also have seen, we got left stranded when the thermostat decided to break and get stuck closed meaning the car kept overheating.. now the whole day DID not go to plan and this car is starting to get on my nerves.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Tip for keeping sealant fresh: remove the nozzle and clean it, place doubled over cling film over the hole and then screw the nozzle back on - works like a charm!
Love the videos lee but i feel like clearing the garage out and buying a pop up gazebo would make your life/filming so much easier 😂
yes pls get him to clean his garage out guys lol
@BudKing96 2nd most requested video next to the mustang dash 😂
@@BudKing96it's his mum's garage, that would be like clearing out someone else's room
Would make a class video, probs parts from every car he’s owned in there.
It’s not my stuff in the garage 😩
i feel your pain lee, cant tell you how many times ive done a job on a car which should be simple but becomes a bloody mission
When I had my Jag I bought off eBay a "Automotive Flexible Hose Clamp Clip Pliers Set Swivel Jaw Flat Angled 9pc"
Best £30 you will spend if you keep this car or any modern car going forward mate.
Lee, Im going to have to send you a workbench! seeing you working on the floor and stepping on things is upsetting me now!
Please do hahaha
garage clean up video coming soon! you need some space to work pal, you cant be standing on stuff anymore hahaha! good video though!
I think the point in those clips is to allow them to expand and contract with heat and keep the same tension. Jubilee clips cant expand so once they are loose they leak. Thats what i got taught. 😂
Something I learned many years ago is to always bite the bullet, pay the premium and buy genuine OE parts from the manufacturer.
That’s why I like Dean from Saving Salvage, uses OEM parts that fit and do what they should
I just wanna say I’m really enjoying the uploads back on the drive this is why I subscribed in the first place. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!
Exhaust cut outs are the way forward on the XFR's, doing them just before the back boxes is perfect. Mine run on a remote fob with various settings, so you can have complete stock or a backbox delete with a press of a button. Also mine I fitted has various positions of open for the valves, so you can choose exactly how loud you want it.
The spring clips are used because they are the correct crush pressure and on the line, the person fitting the hose to the joint boss only had to pull a "grenade pin" to release the clip and effectively seal it correctly. Hose clips are slow and inconsistent in assembly.
The CAD works to a 3mm clearance, so yes, some tasks are painful but often easier from underneath Lee. I'm afraid the genuine parts lesson is so annoying, but only learn it once, right?
One final thing, rather than losing your mind (car doesn't have one to give), have a brew, come back out, and it'll go right straight away. The more you fight it, the more painful it becomes. Good luck
100% With you on the loudness, great for a weekend car but on a daily it's a nause
Silicone trick when you’ve finished using it push some out of the nozzle about a cm worth and let it dry creates a plug on the end when it sets and when you need it next pull the dried silicone out the end of the nozzle good to go.
Anyone saying the proper tool to get those clips off doesn't work haven't used it properly. First and foremost, don't get loads of coolant everywhere on the clip. It makes things slippery🤣
Great content as always, Lee!❤
Man goes Halfrauds 😂😂
I feel this frustration so much 😂 hope the jags a bit more reliable now 😅
The wheels will look good in black or graphite / gunmetal with spacers 👍
Would love to see a video of you tidying/ transforming your garage into a more useable and organised space! 🤞 🙏
It’s not his mess Monica
These videos are the best part of the week not to mention the green jackets out if only it was the og one.
Should try that plumbers tape on the pipe which is abit thinner I think it’s called pfte or ptfe tape works a charm sealing pipes together worth a try 👍
Wow I know this feeling. Worked at Jaguar for years and treated myself to the same gen XF.
I adored the drive when it worked. To many little problems and massively overpriced dealer only parts meant it got sold in the end.
Hope yours goes a different way but if the electrical gremlins kick in honestly get rid
when you've finished with sealent, unscrew the tip and clean it out if you can, put a couple layers of cling film over the open end and then screw the tip back on, you can then seal off the tip with some more cling film/tape if you want, works well for me.
says "may as well head in now boys"😂 proceeds to say "haven't been this pissed off in a long time" 😂 cars are fuckers bro
Lee I have pliers to remove them clips everytime without any probs . Long reach only cost about £20 from Bergen God send as those clips are a t##t I feel your pain mate
Gota love a video where Lee gets pissed off 😂
I feel like you put all the shit on that happens every driveway mechanic that no one else on youtube would admit to 😂
I do!😂
Looking forward to the day you get your first garage space to work on cars! Keep focused on making this quality content. PMA mate
As for the sealer I put a nail in the end and smear around the nozzle and nail with the sealer so there is no gap for air to get in. Never had one dry up.
Lee take my advice on your recent and future cars . Install valve exhaust system. I was exactly in the same
position as you, even got to a stage that I Installed 3 different exhaust systems in matter of days in one of my cars. Currently I'm on my second valved exhaust system and I cannot be happier. Worth every penny.
As for the jag , I used to work in a JLR garage all I can say is good luck... honestly you will need it.
Screw a screw in the end of nossle will not dry out for luv nor money
Just chilling here in California watching your video Lee. Brilliant. 👍
Congrats on the 100k subs 👍👍👍
Great video mate. Been watching for years now, nice to see this format back 👌
Engines do not like back pressure in reference to your losing power comment. Back pressure is exactly what it sounds like ( a build up of pressure ) which slows down the gases from leaving the engine hence why you gain power from removing cats because you are removing back pressure by removing them.
A good quality tubular manifold and well designed exhaust will actually speed up the gases leaving the exhaust from exhaust pulsing.
Had an XFR with the same pipes, was ridiculous when you floored it, my neighbours hated me ! with the small backboxes, it sounded awesome. Good move mate.
Yes mine has blown out the screen wash pump. Held on currently with a cable tie. Didnt know about potential bcu back flow.
Regarding the tool to remove the hose clips if you use it correctly they work fine.
I did my jaguar xf oil cooler other day had to take coolent pipes of same clips and I used the actual tool for the clips and it made it so much easier
I feel your pain with them stupid clips lee, been working on my car to recently (seat leon mk1 cupra r) change them all out for jubilee clips what a nightmare... keep up the good work lee 👍
Also lee to sort the tiger seal stick a nail or bolt in the end once you’re finished with it and it wont dry up
Lee i ve had similar problems with parts for my S-Type and only buy from Berkshire Jag now, all good quality parts , they offer genuine and after market parts, good luck and keep up the entertaining vids
Would've been easy if you'd:
1. Used the correct tools. Proper pliers for the pipe clamps and silicone spray to separate those 2 plastic parts.
2. Bought the genuine part from Jag instead of cheaping out. Weren't they a 50k odd car new? £80 for a genuine thermostat is a bargain if you ask me.
Then again I suppose the video wouldn't be half as entertaining if the job was done in an hour😂
Ct1 would have sorted that connection lee!! Hope the tiger seal does the job and doesnt leak. Wind a screw back in the end. If it doesn't have a cap.
Ive had so many days like this - I now dont have any project cars and its a weight off my shoulders!
Great video pal.looks like it's done your head in 🤣
Lol welcome to becoming old 🤣 I'm the same used to love being in asbo exhaust mode, now I can live without 😂
Shit happens mate! Many a time I have gone to do a straight forward job and it ends up as a marathon, I have the rain hex as well as soon as you’re finished it stops raining, also forever dropping clips nuts bolts in the engine bay,I have a telescopic magnet with led from B&M works ok as for the sealant remove the nozzle cover with cling film replace nozzle. If you are decorating you can wrap brushes and roller sleeves in cling film to be ready to use the following day. Videos are excellent you’re. doing a great job😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I’m gonna be that guy! Use the right tool 20 years experience tells me they work fine
Lee, just get a job at greggs or something and give this car stuff a miss mate, way too much stress for you and all ove us 😂
Always buy from the manufacturer I’ve suffered from buying “cheaper parts”
Who buys a jag or a modern landrover and expects reliability, love watching these videos as i relate to gwtting mad at engineers
The spring clips apply equal pressure around the entire surface of the pipe jubilee clips put more where the screw is and slightly twists the pipe. Also those correct pliers do work if you buy a decent set the cheap ones are shit though
A subscribers day at Lees, for a garage cleaning party
Let’s do it hahaha
With the sealant, pull a finger off your rubber glove and put it over the end of the nozzle, then fill it with a bit of sealant. Next time you come to use it, pull it off and you're good to go 👍
Faults to send water into critical parts is designed in.
S type V6 facelift sends water into the V to destroy the coils, plugs, engine and cats if you drive with a misfire.
Sealant tubes screw a screw in the end of the nossle will keep it from drying out as much
Feel your pain Lee my wife in hysterics watching you saying it’s just like like listening to me playing fuck when fixing the cars great content mate
That driveway looks really weird with no camper parked there 😂 loving the content 🙌🏼
You should not work on cars, you fuck up everything you touch 🤣
This video is a reminder to get oem parts lol
I know it’s bad but I can’t help but chuckle when you start getting p**sed off because I’ve been there 🤣
that car looks and sounds phenominal
Worst feeling working all day then realising it was all for nothing lol
There is a proper set of pliers without the cable for them
Clips I have one and it’s the best tool in my box 😂
The proper tool does work on those clips though 😅
Feel your pain. Bought an XFR 2 years ago and did every single coolant part, vacuum hose, gaskets, supercharger maintenance, etc preventative. Still always needed more, suspension, brakes, what a moneypit. Very fast car, but not worth the hassle and stress for me. Also, the coolant system went through so many updates, its very hard to mix and match parts.
Forums say these are reliable. This puts me off
@@derekporter66 I think it's the age now, coupled with all the cheap plastic garbage they use to make cars with nowadays. Maybe theyre reliable compared with german rivals of the same age, but it was too much of a hassle for me. I also owned a 2014 XF-S diesel with 70.000km which never went wrong, so it may just be age related.
@@jacknickprobe looking for a nice v8 from 2013 or so onwards that doesn't want to blow up. Helpppo
@@derekporter66 5.0 mustang is reliable :)
To stop it drying screw a screw down nozzle must be a tight fit for it to work cuts air getting to it
Hey lee great video love the new car and am glad that you can get things from zaustwork have been trying to get a exhaust for my vxr but no joy glad to hear that true rally is going well would love to go on one ✌️
Had the same issue a couple of months ago with the thermostat as you. Even went and bought the same Motorad replacement from Ashwood as you! It too leaked. Ended up paying the £70 for a genuine Jag replacement. If you compare the Motorad one with the Jag one you can see where there is a weak point and where it leaks.
Like you say those alloys on the jag aren’t great.. I’m not one for after market alloys but perhaps now is an exception. I saw a jag with Valare alloys on. They had jag centres so just looked right and really lifted the looks of the car 👍
Best way to stop them drying up is leave a splodge sticking out to dry. Then you can get a grip and pull all the dried stuff out the tube
I know the feeling mate, It can be fine all day then i go outside to work on a car it twats it down as soon as i step outside. It's infuriating 😆
3:40 those back boxes are huge compared to my Spires ones.
ive never liked the sound of straigt pipe the best sounded cars ive had and the best recipe for an exhaust imo is a straight thru to a small silencer on the back box i find this takes away the rasp and gives a more meaty sound and it will be my prefered setup untill the day i die straight thru with no rear back box sounds WANK!
The funny thing is the tool your talking about for the hose clamps does work (not perfectly granted but better than pliers) so just goes to show it must be you that knows nothing🤷🏻♂️
looks like a mazda tbh, was surprised when he went round back & it had Jag badging!
A little tip for the devil clips use vice grips when you can soo you have 2 hands to mice them about
Another great video dont give up on the jag onces its sorted you know its good and its a fantastic car
what you need is a set of " Angled Hose Clamp Clip Pliers " google them and you will never have a problem with those clips again
What a complete nightmare. On the pluss side whatcing your videos make me feel better when shit goes wrong when working on my own cars as i no its not only me 😂
Love these videos, the struggle is very relatable. Keep it up
The sound of the exhaust is awesome.
I feel your pain Lee, keep going mate❤👌🤘🤟💪
Another Amazing Vlogs ever 👌
11.00 take a shot everytime Lee say’s thermostat
This video gives me pure anxiety and reminds me never to work on cars again🤣
Great car. Wheels need to be powder coated black or graphite i recon.
I feel your pain Lee, this is sometimes an everyday occurrence in the trade, I hate designers of cars sometimes
I’d be surprised if the F Type wheels don’t fit as some XFR did have 285/30 on the rear from factory which is what size F Type rears are
Don’t give up bro
Although changing the washer pump avoids this particular problem with the water ingress it doesn't prevent FET failure on the board in the junction box. These junction boxes are really, really bad. Probably the worst circuit board engineering on a car- ALL XF's upto 2017 should be avoided. Lee, just get rid of the car dude! It'll be nothing but problems!!!
Get a pop up gazebo for the rain come on mate
Yer mate I no ur pain when it comes to the rain
If you replace a windscreen washer pump, do you need disconnect the battery first please? (I’m new to doing work to my car!)
Had the same weather issues the last week, trying to fit coil overs. Need a garage, need a lift.
How haven’t you got a unit yet lee🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its less about back pressure and more about flow and velosity
I feel like I can relate to your problems doing mechanics as a job and non stop swearing getting annoyed at vehicles and machines and wrong crap parts or just things being difficult for no reason.
I try to keep my cool now days but it’s always difficult.
Apologies if this is not the place to ask - True Rally Fully booked?
Couldn’t you have just swapped the thermostat out of the new housing? Is that what the three screws are for? Oh I just watched to the end 😂😂
And hoses to plastic need the constant compression clamps due to thermal expansion will help prevent cracking I had to be that guy again before some tech engineer comes and says it (I wack jubilee clips on everything)
